Latitude 2014

[dentalplan]

Thursday

I'm gonna chuck Flaming Lips in as contenders.

Well the other two headliners are exclusives so I'd disagree, but maybe.

[the wonderwhy]

None of the headliners last year were exclusives so I doubt that bothers them too much

[Davness]

'tis The Black Keys. (according to TimeOut London)

[Guest]

I already have a ticket to see the Flaming Lips in May, so ideally I'd want somebody else, but at least that's one headliner I don't hate.

Is that in Nottingham? I don't understand why you can't buy seats for that (not that I want to, just curious)

[klipper]

I'm anticipating something like this:

Two Door Cinema Club Damon Albarn The Black Keys

Bombay Bicycle Club Metronomy Tame Impala

Haim First Aid Kit Billy Bragg

Slowdive Warpaint Royksopp & Robyn

Would also like to see the likes of Eagulls, Ezra Furman, Slint (they're at a few fests!), Wolf Alice, Deerhunter, Darkside and Savages on the line-up

Manchester, I have literally no idea about the seats thing, first time I've heard of it, sorry.

[jamesrfisher]

Eagulls already on list as playing.

Longitude has announced Massive Attack. I know they don't seem to be as close line-up wise as last year, but could be a possibility?

Anything on this?

[cdm22]

Anything on this?

They probably got that from here as it has been bandied about as the third headliner for quite some time now.

[klipper]

Eagulls already on list as playing.

Yay, saw them supporting Parquet Courts and they were great, new album is a good as well

[Guest]

I've just accepted that The Black Keys are going to be the third headliner, this is the year Latitude has shitty headliners, and I'm okay with it, I've made my peace. Melvin, thank you for booking Hall & Oates, and Robyn, and Booker T Jones, and Nils Frahm, and Phospherescent. I also thank you for freeing up my evenings, I am sure there'll be something very enticing happening elsewhere across the festival site, British Sea Power one night perhaps?

[SweepingTheNation]

Black Keys definitely in Europe and free on the 13th: http://www.theblackkeys.com/shows

[glimmers_of_hope]

Does anyone know what time the announcement is today?

I think it will be Black Keys but my fingers are crossed for Portishead or Massive Attack.

[jamesrfisher]

Announcement during Steve Lamacq show according to Twitter feed

[glimmers_of_hope]

Cheers - so later this afternoon/early evening.

I know, most of us have been thinking it since the user said they'd heard it. I just wanted to see if it was in writing on the Time Out website or something.

[neil999]

any chance of pixies subbing? seems like their star has faded quite a bit..

Half 5 for the announcement apparently

: )

I might change my name to "the user" sounds a bit scary though.
