    Let's say it is The 1975/Mumford/Stone Roses; these are three very big names who could/have headlined Glastonbury and would be coups for Latitude.

    Do you think this is taking away the Latitude "spirit" of it being comparatively small and having acclaimed acts over more R+L based/more commercially targeted artists?

    You raise a good point,

    I went to my first latitude in 2015, the 10th bday, great lineup and it was honestly the best weekend of my life, the company and the atmosphere was insane. That continued last year only imo it had a weaker lineup, headliner wise. The spirit will always be there with the family emphasis and arts focus, but bigger headliners is great for business. I fear however that a capacity rise may draw the wrong sort of crowds but I'm not too worried about that. Keep capacities similars and themes and atmospheres the same and then you could have anyone play and it still be the Latitude we all love.

    He doesn't really release singles so it's hard to say. Headlining Wireless tho, and massive in the hip hop world which R+L shines a huge spotlight on. Tbf I was predicting him third down but I don't think they're adding both a sub and a third so I'm just expecting Chance, and given his rarity and following it'd do well enough.

    i like chance, solid choice

    solid but unspectcular if i remember rightly. i seem to remember the majority of people liking the undercard but not the headliners whereas i in fact was the other way round for a change.

    i liked the maccabees but compared to 2015 i thought it was weak

    this time last year the embargoed lineup had been put out there and people were at least able to give opinions on it and how it would go down. be interesting to see if anyone has similar tonight.

    how did it go down first impressions wise last year?

    Lana Del Rey subbing 1975 or co-headlining? would be strong and another reason for upped capacity along with Mumford and sons.

     

    then maybe somebody bigger that nobody has thought of due to underestimating the size of the headliners etc.

     

     

    the underestimating bit you mention is what I'm hoping for, last year I only watched the maccabees, better headliners would be great and there has to be a reason for more capacity!

    Another picture from Facebook surly confirms them

    Yeah I agree, the caption on twitter was some co-ordinates, meaning longitude and latitude whatever way round it goes. Seen them live three times and they know how to put on a show. Solid act imo.
