Latitude 2009

[The Beard]

There doesn't seem to be a thread for this festival yet, so thought I'd start one. Anyone get early bird tickets when they went on sale last year? Who do you want to play??

[TheDog]

Im hoping Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine play, not sure how likley it is but both have new albums out and would maybe be more appealing to latitude than anyone else...just a thought.

[Tugger2k]

I want Massive Attack for a bit of chill out action on the saturday night.

[Messy]

Looking to get to this this year. Any rumours/news on acts that will be playing?

[ampersand]

went last year and want to go back again, but it wont be this year.

[JB15]

I think Radiohead will play. I have no sources for this at all, just a hunch

That would be tremendous, but I doubt they could afford them!

The likes of Franz Ferdinand, Elbow and Sigur Ros last year wouldnt have commaned the same sort of fee as Radiohead!

i'm 99.9% sure that they're not.

[TheDog]

i got excited when i saw you had replied hoping youd be spilling the beans on some vital information, radiohead arnt playing? shocker!

now how about telling us who IS playing?

That would be nice, poor Latitude doesnt even make the Line Up and Rumours section, or is that because there isnt any?

Sonic Youth isnt a bad shout maybe.

we don't make them up you know, we leave that to the other sites that are desperate to get visitors and will use any bullshit method get them.

No rumours means no rumours, not that we're ignoring a particular fest.

[Tugger2k]

shame theres no rumours yet but i have no doubt that the lovely people will pull another eclectic fun filled line up out the bag.

Was a great line up last year...think lots of festivals would have liked sigur ros

I'm sure the rumour mill will start soon.

I'm tiping Arctic Monkeys.

[jet lagged boy]

I've got my early bird ticket.

Didn't go last year but went on Arcade Fire day in 2007. I'm taking the whole family along this year so I'm hoping for a relaxing weekend and that it doesn't suddenly become filled with all the weekend rockstar idiots that couldn't get V tickets.

Yep me and my brother are giving up on the debauchery at Glastonbury over the last two years and instead are taking our families with us this time to Lattitude - no tittering please !!

Waiting for the general realese date for tickets - any ideas anybody ?

[flossy_]

i have no clue about rumours, but im trying to make sensible guesses here:

someone like yeah yeah yeahs? that would be awesome.

or maybe also:

placebo

bloc party could be a possibility

maximo park

i'd like to see patrick wolf back there too

would does everyone else think?

last year the tickets went on sale mid march, the same day the headliners were announced

[Tugger2k]

Neil.................

maximo would ace

[Almost Crimes]

I could see editors, bloc party or sadly keane or kasabian headlining a day or playing just under the headliner

Morrisey a possible headliner me thinks

Bloc party and Arctic Monkeys

[geofelgie]

Not rumours......but the "most mentioned" bands (which was a pretty good indication last year) are

Bloc Party

Massive Attack

The Cure

Flaming Lips

Arcade Fire

Leonard Cohen

Portishead

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Morrissey

Bjork

Personally I think Bloc Party are nailed on.....Massive Attack most likely of the rest.....I hope someone convinces Fat Bob that it's a good idea.........

......but I can actually see Scissor Sisters being a surprise booking.

I'd like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Cure and Arcade Fire again personally.

[flossy_]

i really can't see arcade fire headlining again, simply because they only headlined 2 years ago.

i think bloc party would be very good, and i think id be tempted to go if they played because they are one of my fav bands, and also all the other headliners for V and Reading (excluding the radiohead rumour) are just all boring.

plus id like to experience latitude

if im going to start randomly guessing now, i will say Bloc Party/Editors/Massive Attack
