Just to freshen the thread up a bit, I had a dream on the plane last night that Aerosmith were the third headliner...

Disclaimer: I also had a separate dream about me and Heidi Klum, so they are not always guaranteed to come true!

Well, the Latitude line-up is hardly stellar, is it? (With the obvious exception of Kraftwerk). Foals headlining?? Made me think about Neil's comment that potential acts for third headliner included some you wouldn't expect to see that high up.

Maybe this year is going to be a lean one after all..

Would have liked to have seen Beach House at Glastonbury though - especially with Leland Palmer in tow:http://youtu.be/OS6duOoxctw

Yup, seems those ones just under the proper biggies are using it loads this year. Fecking annoying if you ask me.

and Yannis makes some good points about Festivals, they really need to start taking more punts on younger bands to stop the pool drying up. As much I'd like to see Pulp headline Glastonbury.and even to an extent apart from them having new material Muse again. It's already been done and it's no good for the future.

Of course. There are too many festivals and they need to be competitive, which drives down the quality of nearly all of them.

A scenario which is played out continually within capitalism - the best example being TV.

Capitalist competition is something which carries it's own hidden costs, which has ignorant (or selfish) people screaming "COMMUNIST" if it's ever pointed out too strongly. ;)

    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
