Latitude 2014

him headlining while tom yorke didnt suggests he will play plenty of blur stuff, otherwise i supect you would get alot of the audience leaving for another stage halfway through! im sure the organisers must have some idea of what to expect from him??

They booked The Good, The Bad and The Queen a few years ago. Maybe Thom just out-modests Damon. :P

Like you said though, I don't feel as if he's gonna play the big Blur hits. He'll take a handful from his other projects and play most of his upcoming album, I imagine.

Did he play with Womack last year, by the way?

not sure who this is going to attract either?? i love blur, but doesnt mean im majorly interested in seeing albarn on his own, i cant see blur fans being obssesive like radiohead fans and being interested in anything they do...and it certainly isnt going to get the youngsters going...weird one

First festival I have ever bought a ticket for before the announcement, they seem to be punishing me by booking acts I hate.

He did not, and it was joyous.

Are you kidding? Dr Dee, the Good the Bad & the Queen, Africa Express & Gorillaz all spring to mind...

I'm not saying he won't play any Blur songs, but anyone expecting the upbeat 'hits' will be disappointed I think.

I don't think they are headline worthy material tho(gorillaz) aside , I can see a big exodus if he doesn't play blur songs...but then I don't know if that matters for a fest the size of latitude

Considering the Good the Bad & the Queen actually headlined Latitude I'd say you don't really know what you're talking about.

Decent headliner but of limited appeal to me, having seen blur in 2012 and never really been a huge fan anyway. I'd enjoy some gorrilaz tracks but never been bothered by anything else since blur and i think i preferred the heavily coxon influenced side of them anyway. I may be giving latitude a miss this year...

Quite underwhelmed by the line up so far, except Goat who are brilliant live

.. All points to a trump card third headliner for me. Portishead, where are you when we need you?!

Saying that, Latitude seem to know what good music is, so I think they might have information (or have heard it themselves) that albarns album is pretty good. Fingers crossed anyway

ROBYN, YOU FORGET ROBYN!

I was pissed off earlier, but then I calmed down and remembered that as long as I get a weekend off work to see Robyn and hang out with multicoloured sheep then it's all good really, it's rude to expect much else.

Do we know what date TDCC and Damon are headlining, and what date Portishead are headlining this melt festival? Could potentially rule them out or make them pretty likely

We could if we knew what day they were playing Melt. Looking at the Melt article, there's plenty of acts that'll end up doing both.

    • TOP 10 acts (top 5 in bold😞   Blood Orange (ciutat)   Guitarricadelafuente   Oklou - Looks like I'm capable of enjoying music in the rain after all, just not the whole night.   Rilo Kiley   The Cure   Jade   Depresión Sonora   Gelli Haha (Parc del Forum) - Her music never really clicked with me. Until I saw her live.   MARINA   Six Sex (ciutat) - I was shocked how supersmall the venue was and that almost everyone (except for me) knew every word of every song (including the ones that were released this weekend!).   Honorable mention:   Ashnikko - missed the first 15 minutes (because of Gelli Haha) and I'm not really a fan of her music, but the show was an absolute blast.
    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.
