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..

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?

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].

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 :rolleyes:

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.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
