Hmm interesting most of the people saying the line up is poor are comparing it to the first time they went 10 years ago. Maybe you've changed not the festival ;)

Having said that ive only been going for 4 years and the headliners are great, and so is the nme but the main stage under card is a tad underwhelming

Another point black keys are subbing, they played a few nights at ali pali, and BBC are 3rd played one night at ali pali so maybe there not that out of place in terms of ticket sales

Im definitely thinking Glasto, although even that is very mixed, the good thing with it is that it has 2 stages of well known acts as opposed to R/L's 1. Latitude/Bestival Im debating, they just arent big enough to attract the enough of the bigger names.

16 bands I'd like to see so far! I'd say thats a pretty successful first announcement personally! Bar the headliners really looking forward to The Black Keys, The Shins, The Horrors, Band of Skulls! Amongst others!

I don't actually know what people expect ? .. R+L can't just get bands who aren't together or don't tour, or have their own shows, or are doing other things etc.

This isn't a poor line-up, its just a reflection of music at this moment in time.

Must be hard to book between the popular acts to sell the tickets and the bands the typical R+L crowds want.

I think this is a good mixture.

    • New Overmono album is... just good for me. Had high hopes which were later dashed a bit after listening to some of the singles but they brought me back around enough to appreciate some very nice work in there. https://music.apple.com/ie/album/pure-devotion/1894298100
    • I don't really worry about headliners (unless there's a real possibility of a once-in-a-lifetime artist landing for it) but I'm starting to feel a bit cold on the names floating around bar Fontaines.  Harry Styles and Sam Fender, I can see the value and commercially speaking, they've earned it.  Sabrina Carpenter is obviously popular enough to do it - but after she's headlined everywhere else and done Coachella earlier this year, is it not just a bit predictable to follow what other festivals have done?
    • Bollocks to “safe” headliners, bollocks to the masses. Get interesting, get risky, challenge people.
    • The Cure would be a dream, I can definitely see them doing a second run of festivals they may have missed this year and they seem the definitive Latitude act  If they do festivals next year maybe The Strokes could be a shout? Im stunned either them or Kings of Leon haven't played yet This is a great shout for names, youre right that CMAT is taking a year out though - we're like to know more in the autumn when festivals start making announcements  The only other act I'd really love to see is Idles headline the tent
