Which sector of society is being barred from playing? Your comment about me listing exceptions doesn't really stand up when you consider that I posted this... I have no idea how many of these are homosexual, but I very much doubt that bookers are sitting in their offices saying "I'm not booking X because he/she is gay". And that doesn't answer the question asking why you consider it OK to refer to white men as honkys.

Why is it OK to refer to white men as honkys? And why are you getting outraged for women and homosexuals? Were Christine and the Queens outraged a few years ago? Was Solange outraged last year? Will Lana Del Ray be outraged when she closes the Obelisk this year?

2018 had Solange, Wolf Alice, Jessie Ware, Sleeper, La Femme, Juanita Stein... I'll stop now.

I just can't really understand your outrage. Of the acts I know about (meaning that others may be female), Latitude has Lana del Ray, Chvrches, Neneh Cherry, Sigrid, Cat Power, Khruangbin, Anna Calvi, Mo, Freya Ridings, Aurora, Jenny Lewis, Nadine Shah, Julia Jacklin, Kero Kero Bonito, Let's eat grandma, The Japanese House, Georgia, Girlpool, Nilufa Yanya, Ider, Lazy Day, Lucia, Beabadoobee... any more?

Thanks

I was referring to this line

What does this mean?

Couldn't agree more. Last year I was fortunate enough to be recommended W.H Lung. Caught them at the Lake Stage and they were amazing. Also loved Gang of Youths. Killers were good, caught the end of Solange and chose to dodge Rag n Bone man as I find him dull, but Latitude is about SO much more. If I go this year I'll give Snow Patrol and George Ezra a wide berth, but I know there will be more to do at 10pm than stand at the main stage.

That's good news

Haven't Bombay Bicycle Club called it a day?

Just to clear it up, Bestival wasn't rained off, Camp Bestival was cut short though. Don't think it was strictly due to the rain either, I think it was more down to the wind blowing tents around. The weather at Bestival was HOT! Felt very odd though, bit like a fair with a stage at each end, and a Big Top just plonked in for good measure. It felt far too big for the amount of people there, (or I suppose you could say not enough people went). Nothing remotely like the old Bestival.

Oh no, that might ruin it! Such a tune though.

Why apart from two steps twice? Whenever I've seen them this has just capped off the gig perfectly.

What a bell end.

We can only hope that they are wrong. Would love to see Gang of Youths back. They were great this year. Them supporting Foals would be a fantastic evening.
