Latitude 2013

[zahidf]

_{It would mean going from Italy on the Wednesday to UK on the Friday, Germany on the Sunday then UK on the Wednesday. Far from impossible but you'd have thought if that was the plan they'd have pushed for playing Melt in Germany on the Friday then Latitute on the Sunday? I'm hopeful but not optimistic...}

That's absolutely doable though, with a 2 day gap if they did the Friday.

I'll be pissed off if Atoms For Peace headline, give 'em a slot headlining the tent by all means, there's enough neckbeards to fill it, but don't subject the rest of us good honest folk to it.

[mrtourette]

Neckbeards are people too.

[fluff164]

Foals and villagers pretty much nailed on

Playing Poland on the Sat 20th July.

Bit tighter, but if they have the day off on the Thursday, Play latitude on the Fri, and then Poland and germany before another couple of days off.

I assume phoenix being second stage reading headliners makes them a lot less likely as latitude headliners?

[Guest]

I hope it aint Phoenix, they're piss poor. The only act on the entire R&L line-up that would be good at Latitude is Haim.

EDIT: Just noticed The Editors are on the Leeds line-up too (what the hell are they doing all the way down there?) they'd be great at Latitude.

I'm pretty sure they're not headlining Latitude.

Someone is hinting at me that two of the headliners are newer bands than you might expect. I think one of those two is Foals.

I'm still pretty sure the 3rd is Kraftwerk, tho there's the possibility that that's wrong and there's been a muddle-up because of the new sister event in Ireland, Longitude.

[the wonderwhy]

I think Foals are a pretty good shout given they appear to be playing 3rd down at R&L.

Could the 3rd be Vampire Weekend?

[eFestivals]

Could the 3rd be Vampire Weekend?

from what's been hinted at me, it's a newer act than them and Foals. A very new act, that will surprise a lot of peeps.

All I've gotta do now is try and work out who that wind-up merchant is meaning.

Atoms for Peace?

Atoms for Peace?

it might be I guess, tho i've taken what matey has said as meaning a properly 'new' act rather than a new act made up of old musicians.

Are we talking one album? Alt J maybe? Pretty big at the moment. Jack White? Technically a "new act".

The Lumineers?

they're one on my radar as a possibility, tho it seems a bit bizarre.

It does. They were on the lake stage mid afternoon last year!

[the wonderwhy]

The Vaccines are 2010 & it fits in with tour dates?

[jamesrfisher]

Doubt it is Vampire Weekend, they headlined in 2010. On a number of occasions Latitude have stated they have a policy of not rebooking headliners.

the suggestion made to me is that it's a newer act than them.

Alt J would be really strange. Foals, Alt J and Kraftwerk seem more of a second stage headliner line up for T in the Park rather than a major stage line up. Big comedown from last year if true!

I wouldn't say it's a big comedown.

2012 vs 2013 could be: Bon Iver = Alt J, Elbow = Foals, and Paul Weller = Kraftwerk.

And 2011: Paulo Nutini = Alt J, The National = Foals, and Suede = Kraftwerk.

Bon Iver only has two albums, as does Nutini I think, so Alt J is entirely possible.

Nah. Bon Iver is a arena size act, much bigger than Alt J. as is P.Nulti.

Elbow are much bigger than Foals as well.

I'll give you that Kraftwerk fit in size wise though, but i find it hard to concieve why a person would get a day ticket for Latitude over a day ticket for Reading to see Alt J headline.

I definitely think more people would see Alt J over Nutini, but I know what you mean.

Foals are pretty big and the only reason Elbow get such big crowds is because of "One Day Like This"

As long as there is a good undercard, and possibly alt headliner, they should still sell tickets no problem.

[geofelgie]

Surely Foals, Kraftwerk and Ed Sheeran is more likely?

[johnl]

Could any of Bastille, Of Monsters and Men or Django Django be considered? Would be weird but one album acts have headlined before?

Foals and Kraftwerk look nailed on - maybe Atoms For Peace are the 'new' band....

[TheSeventhOne]

If it's Alt-J and Foals then I want to punch the face of whoever got me excited over the prospect of Kraftwerk and Pet Shop Boys.
