Latitude 2009

[darkodan]

that rosy feeling i had earlier is quickly dissipating, mainly at the fact that Grace Jones and PSB are actually the headliners...

[SweepingTheNation]

Looks like eFestivals hasn't heard yet either - their story currently lists the top three, then "Radio One confirmed Bat For Lashes, Doves, and Editors earlier today."

what a load of old cack

[Jack2004inet]

has to be the easiest festival ticket i've ever brought, for my sister lol. was no lagg at all.

not my sort of fest though looking at headlinners.

Now imagine you were hyped up for this festival massively, and then those three were the ONLY bands announced

[ralph250]

shlomo and the vocal orchestra will be amazing...my highlight as well as many other's at glasto last year....but there's not enough announced yet to get my cash.

Expected at least a confirmation of 9-12 bands, or couple big comedy acts in the announcement.

[radiohea_d]

why is there no others confirmed!!

:angry: :angry: :angry:

[darkodan]

sorry Latitude, but you have completely balls-ed up your announcements so far.

[SweepingTheNation]

Apparently there's more hidden on the forum. Give me a minute...

Yeah big time, this is turning into a gasharama

[SweepingTheNation]

No, sorry, just the artistic stuff already confirmed.

Bloody hell. WE KNOW MORE OFFICIAL CONFIRMATIONS THAN THEY DO!

[sungubala]

Is it just my lineup page on the Latitude website which still says "To be confirmed at 7pm?"

[longgrass]

Poor. Will stay at home and watch the test match instead.

[yesyesyesjohn]

poor poor headliners

nick cave is good

but i grace jones nad hte pet shop boys? wtf is that about?

[darkodan]

they really, really need to reveal a few more bands. and Uncut need to announce their headliners. off the back of tonight, Latitude is gonna struggle.

[annie42]

wierdest freaking lineup announcement ever

since when do only three bands get announced

crazycrazytimes

now were all going to continue speculating just as much as before

will we EVER be put out of our misery?

maybe the moderator of this forum is a latitude exec & he's finding it hilariously funny reading the predictions so wants us to continue...

peace

[mrl82mrl]

Personally I can't think of a better headliner than Grace Jones. Oh no, hang on, yes I can. Anything would be better than this tripe.

[jmitch]

Here's hoping tickets don't sell out before they announce more.

Judging from the 'effort' of the organisers though, it seems unlikely :/

[sungubala]

30 minutes late. Organisation is failing Latitude here I'm afraid. I've rung afew people in the past half hour and they have absolutely no idea whats going on.

Like I said, its been an entertaining day there by the sounds of things!

[darkodan]

moderator over on Latitude Festival forums has said that is all there is for now, more in the coming weeks. man these are gonna be some sloooooow weeks.

just looked on Seetickets. £196 for a ticket with coach travel!!! thats almost Glasto prices! ridiculous.

ROFL

[sungubala]

From what I understand no more announcements tonight beyond the headliners.

EDIT: I was beaten too it!

So what's http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/ne...000/7959092.stm then? Where would they get their information from if official channels aren't revealing any more?
