Latitude 2009

[mercury]

I was busy during Sigur Ros

you're not the mars volta drummer then?

[sungubala]

Ha, no not busy like that!

Busy in other ways... (forgot the wink the first time around!)

oh, so you bring the wife on tour with you then?

[mercury]

actually, upon further inspection. isnt that lee ranaldo art thing from july 2008?

as far as i can see they dont have anything planned for july this year so could well be at latitude.

[SweepingTheNation]

*whistles innocently*

What a really stupid way to arrange your supposedly upcoming gigs list. (Mind you, they're in Europe this April and May, will they be able to come back again in the summer?)

Who else? Animal Collective seem to have a spare weekend before a festival in Japan the week after...

[TheDog]

i was about to mension the convenient animal collective tour gap

my bloody valentine arnt booked anywhere beyond april that suggestion seems more pipe dream now

theres a plausible gap in anthony and the johnsons tour as well

i think the lee ranaldo thing is this year its just put in a strange order on that page

god please there must be someone remarkable out there to play

[radiohea_d]

I'd be very happy if Animal Collective play.

hopefully they'll headline the uncut stage whilst Grace Jones plays.

[gregory]

i'm really suprised they didn't get bloc party / bjork / flaming lips / morrisey / beck .. someone of that ilk, they all seem to appeal to most ages.. yet grace jones and psb? even nick cave is questionable (although i don't doubt his greatness).

i'm volunteering anyway so it makes it easier that i don't have to beg for time off to see any/three of my expected bands..

[mercury]

lee ranaldo thing was definetely last year, so there is a chance they could play latitude...

SWEET SALVATION!!

come on latitude all would be forgiven if sonic youth played

I agree completely.

But ... I don't think it will happen, I reckon were just getting a bit desperate now.

rofl?

[sebby]

if sonic youth dont play i will do terrible things to my body. really terrible things.

the jicks better play....or how bout eels, and back to my original idea, the knife reforming for latitude? it is unlikely, but they could do an uber exclusive, as franz ferdiand did last year (latitude was their only uk festival, apart from an acoustic secert set at glasto)

there better be at least one headliner worth going to see......nick cave is OK i dont doubt his genius but his stuff is kinda hard to get into........

come on the youth!!

Surely Nick Caves stuff is no harder to get into then most of Sonic Youths best stuff?

[cam0611]

grace jones and psb both to be confirmed.

Confirmation if ever i saw it.

Editors and Doves are among the first bands confirmed for this year's Latitude Festival.

The bash, held at Henham Park, Southwold, Suffolk takes places between 16-19 July.

Mercury Prize nominated artist Bat For Lashes will also appear at the festival, which returns for the fourth year.

Headliners for the event are expected to be confirmed shortly with tickets going on sale today [23 March].

[Jookie]

Well this has completely cheered me up

[j...rox]

I assume both bands will be second headliners. Not too sure how Latitude works out having never been. I'll decide if i want to go later tonight. That looks a promising start and efest had no idea.

[darkodan]

same here. Bat For Lashes - awesome.

[Tugger2k]

what brilliant, brilliant news

my favourite band in the world are playing latitude

i caught Doves at the forum last thursday and they were magnificent, just thinking about them at henham park is giving me goosebumps

[darkodan]

surely both Doves and Editors are bigger and more popular than Grace Jones? Uncut must have messed up somewhere...

This years Latitude is suddenly seeming a whole lot rosier

i think thos uncut headliners are exactly that, the uncut headliners - no way can doves/editors be below grace jones

only thing is though, Nick Cave and (loathe am i to say it) PSB are a bit too big for that Uncut stage.

I reckon Editors and Doves could be joint Saturday headliners on the Obelisk.

[mercury]

i think doves/editors/pet shop boys sounds a realistic trio for mainstage headliners. theyre certainly the 3 biggest acts announced so far.

we dont know yet what theyve don eto the site

the 1 big complaint that constantly came through from last year was that none of the tents were big enough
