Latitude 2013

[dondo]

Neil. Does the order you posted the headliners reflect the days they're playing that is Kraftwerk playing the Friday

[Guest]

Does anybody remember how much they paid per ticket last year? I remember £165, this year I've paid nearly £190 each for 4 tickets, and that's presale! I think it's a sign Latitude is moving up in the world and gaining ground, although the newspapers will have you believe the festival bubble has burst, nobody goes to them anymore, just sit at home on their ipatches.

I've always perceived it to be a 'higher class' festival and thus they can charge more (I've always thought they charge more than the line up is worth tbh) although that's probably just me massively generalising because of the people I know who go

Longitude is Phoenix - Vampire Weekend - Kraftwerk, so yeah Kraftwerk have to be either Friday or Saturday. YYYs are playing the Sunday too

The site is of a fantastic quality, maybe there aren't big names, but the diversity of the acts and how much there is to see and do across the weekend much more than justifies the price.

Yeah, there's always that, but then at Reading last I didn't do anything except watch bands, drink & sleep (that may have been because it was my first fest ) so I don't know how much stuff like that would interest me.

You don't know until you go, I guess.

Totally agree, think it is amazing festival, it's one of the reasons we swapped from Reading to Latitude. Very happy to buy tickets in per-sale not knowing who will be there but knowing will have a great time. Remember it's not just about the headliners, though if Neil is right (100% certain!) will be very happy as really want to see Kraftwerk, Foals have become a fave since saw them in the tent at Latitude two years ago and whenever have seen Bloc Party or Kele have been excellent.

Happy days

Too many people confuse Latitude with other 'music festivals' however only 60% of Latitude is about the music so people should base their wishes on 60% too!

Latitude doesnt have the 90 odd thousand punters that allow so called top acts to be booked for the music stages to headline, however, I am normally pretty plastered by 10 pm so I actually dont really care who headline, its all about the stuff beforehand for me and after nearly 30 years of going to festivals, still the best for me in respects to people, feel and space.

Kraftwerk, Bloc Party, and Foals.

Oh that is a little bit tempting!!!! Every other year the line up seems to tempt me!

[Nigey_boy]

Modest Mouse would be above Bloc Party any day

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Modest Mouse would be above Bloc Party any day

wrong

[Nigey_boy]

Thanks Mr Shankly
Ok - They would be much much better

[Guest]

Modest Mouse are one of my favourite ever bands, but they are never bigger than Bloc Party, certainly not in the UK any road.

Getting tix to see Modest Mouse in Manchester, but I still want to see them at Latitude, and Glastonbury for that matter, I'll be annoyed if they play sodding T in the Park and none of the festivals actually worth going to.

[TheSeventhOne]

Weak set of headliners for me. Foals are blimmin' everywhere this year and Bloc Party's relevancy is surely at an all-time low. Thank god for Kraftwerk.

[LondonTom]

Bloc Party's relevancy is surely at an all-time low.

Apart from just doing their biggest headline show to date and selling it out? (Earls Court)

[dentalplan]

What time is the announcement today?

[arteet]

What time is the announcement today?

I've not seen it stated anyway for this year but I think previously it has been around 7pm.

[TheSeventhOne]

They didn't sell it out, you could get tickets on the day from what I remember?

[jamesrfisher]

Just been announced Latitude is teamung up with 6 Music and announcement due during Steve Lamacq's show from 4pm

[Muppetmark]

They didn't sell it out, you could get tickets on the day from what I remember?

it sold out 2 month before, my friends went to toutss to go. it was an amazing set

[Uncle Liam]

I bet it's Kraftwerk on the Friday. I've booked a flight from the IOM at 1635.

Assuming everything is on time, won't get to Diss until 2100, and then going to jump a cab. Totally pushing this one...
