    Obviously when it comes to Kanye you have to take everything with a big pinch of salt, but apparently the album might be coming this Friday (and is a game changer and Ye’s back yada yada but I’m not gonna buy in to all that as these people are hardly gonna say ‘just got back from hearing the new Kanye and, let me tell you, it’s dogshit’)

    this sounds promising - anything that isn't GOD IS KING would be a plus IMO but usual Kanye-caveats apply

    They 100% deserve to go 'stratospheric' with this, but given the way the music scene is nowadays it is not likely to happen.  Too much of it is driven by Tik Tok etc.

    I agree with this to an extent! I've loved WA for a long long long time and was really glad to see them pick up the Mercury - however this album is just leagues ahead their other work imo and people I've tried to get them into before who recoiled have been streaming this all weekend --- so its deffo a convincer!!!!

     

    I do wonder how this fits in to the TikTok//modern music debate - Royal Blood got a No. 1 with no viral success and rock bands are still ascending the ranks of festival lineups / charts etc etc so I would argue that its a bigger combination than just needing vitality (tho of course it helps) and sometimes all it takes is a one bigger hit and a few headline slots and we've got the 2020s version of stratospheric!

    What are we all expecting? Based on nothing I wouldn't be surprised to see Ed Sheeran headlining his local festival.

     

    everything in my body is crossed for wolf alice or chemical bros. // but i haven't a clue this year

    In their email last week they put 'We also have some exciting line up news to share with you very soon' and whenever they've said that before they've always announced something within the week so I expect it this week too. Probably Wednesday to Friday but as you say pay day could also be a big factor

    I feel like (not helpfully at all) they've released on weds, thurs, and fri before so ..... ill take a shot in the dark that it'll be weds but thats on nothing but instinct

    Not surprising, but the Foals London Olympia shows have been postponed until May '22.

    Really was naively hoping they'd move later in the year but can clearly see that '22 is the easiest route. They rescheduled the Brixton show which is weird as it was scheduled for 29th June so could have gone ahead.... oh well!!!

    Been going through my hopes and think this could be a realistic setup for some of the stage headliners 

    Obelisk Arena
    Friday
    Lewis Capaldi
    Saturday
    Bastille
    Sunday
    Chemical Brothers (closing set)

    Wolf Alice/London Grammar (headliner)

    BBC Sounds
    Friday
    Skunk Anansie
    Saturday
    Charli XCX
    Sunday
    Johnny Marr

     

    Wolf Alice into Chems is a dream (and a classic Latitude prediction that will inevitably proven wrong and make us all seem silly for ever having such hopes!) 

    Speaking of being delusional -- Hot Chip are about so would love to see them but can't see where they'd fit!

    It's great to see gigs now being rescheduled with confidence of going ahead later this year but I wonder when the new tours will really come in. A bunch of artists never announced any despite releasing in 2020. Still waiting on tours from Tame Impala (assume this would have been announced after APE), Protomartyr, Run the Jewels, King Gizz, Phoebe Bridgers, The Strokes (ok optimistic that one). Exciting times ahead.

    this is such a good and exciting point.

    Phoebe, tame impala, (even the strokes) !!!! I cannot wait to see any of these live for the first time

    Did you go to that charity gig they did early last year? Was one of the last gigs I went to pre-lockdown, but damn it was soooo good.

     

    I think I might just try only picking up tickets for really popular events that will definitely sell out, and then waiting on the smaller gigs. Hopefully Twickets will save me when the time comes anyway. Also on that note, I've applied for uni (at 27 years old) and fucking hell, the stress is horrible. They said I should hear back from them by the end of march, but this feels like the longest month ever...

    One uni didn't get back to me for ages and it is absolutely the worst wait ever.

    I didn't see them for the charity gig but only because had a family event! Did however see them in 2019 in the tiniest venue in hackney/dalston!

    I'm going to this too but keep thinking about maybe trying for the Brixton gig instead, especially as it's after June 21st. But then they might just move all the dates =/. Foals as first gig post-lockdown would be nuts though 🤞

     

    I wanna be going wild with booking tickets but it's a struggle because I don't know where I'll be living later this year. But then I'm worried if i'll hesitate, i'll be stuck with no tickets. Already regret not getting Bicep  and The National brixton tix....

    Im doing both Olympia which has been booked for 18 months ish I wanna say, AND I then got brixton tickets as its my fave band and fave venue (oops.)

    And I relate to the not being able to buy, I'll either be at home or uni so can look in two places but first year of uni I missed on on so many gigs because of not knowing a.) where I'd be b.) who I'd be with ! then the pandemic and now im never risking it again!

    Booked glass animals for end of may at Ally Pally - they'll be moved (as will Foals at Olympia which I've got for beginning of May since last year) but I'm not missing anything!! I figured if the tickets aren't being sold because people think it'll be moved, then I'll happily part with the cash and ensure im in the room later on down the line (autumn!)

    seen ezra twice live and is genuinely good fun which is what people are after! however opting for The XX right now and blown away (seen them once in 2018 but this is great) - I'd do anything to be in the pyramid field once in my lifetime
