Latitude 2014

[Guest]

I tried, I tried bloody hard for even an added 2nd middle name but she wasn't having any of it haha.

She has a hatred for bjork, which after 13 years of me being obsessed while I've been with her is understandable lol.

Some women eh!

Side issue didn't you go and see albarn last week? How was it?

Not I. Might be Dog Burger?

Thoughts on this big special guest that 'might not be able to reveal until the weekend of the festival' or is Melvyn just overhyping it?

Not sure. Seems different to the normal legend slot thing they have going. Do we reckon it's bigger than headline sized? I can't remember exactly what he was saying about it.

[neil999]

He was deffo making a big thing out of it, especially saying they wouldn't be able to say who it was until right near the event or the weekend itself..

Eagles

[Paul ™]

Prince

I concur, shit clash though, again most of my mates will be at Editors, but I think i'll manage to convince a few to come to slowdive with me as they know they're my fave band of the weekend

Annoying clash IMO, but there's absolutely no chance I'll be missing Slowdive. None.

Metallica

[dentalplan]

Blur

2nd stage surely?

[neil999]

2nd stage surely?

Haha! Yeah the mainstream latitude crowd wouldn't go for a metal band..

[mrtourette]

2nd stage surely?

They've shown before that they're happy to do it.

Seriously though some good addittions, nice looking undercard.

Morning all sorry to be "That Guy" but done Kendal Calling for the last two years, but this years line-up isn't doing anything for me.

Heard some great things about Latitude so booked my ticket last night.

In terms of size I believe its about twice the size of Kendal, one thing I loved about Kendal was the close proximity to the arena making it easy to nip bank the tent for a coat or a few more layers. Is this similar at Latitude?

I wont bombard everyone with questions just yet but would love some advice and tips for this!

Thanks in advance

[neil999]

yeah the latitude website isnt great...not much about late night areas,bars etc

just me being used to glasto with the masses of info i guess..

Re the special guest that can't be announced, banner says 'keep your eyes peeled'.

Name of the first track on Queen of the Stone Age's ...Like Clockwork album is Keep Your eyes Peeled.

Doubt it as not exactly a Latitude band!

Decent undercard there! Half tempted now....shame about the Black Keys, if they clashed with either of the 6Music stage headliners from Friday or Saturday I'd be there!

[glimmers_of_hope]

it's interesting that Mogwai are back. It is the first time that a previous headliner has played again (in the same band) after they have headlined (Damon will have done it twice with TGTBTQ and solo).

Albeit in this instance it is 7-8 years since Mogwai headlined and then it was a much smaller festival (15k I think).

Shows that Melvin is perhaps open to repeat headliners, something he said wouldn't happen. I guess it is a bit different because now they are only headlining the smaller stage.

[mrtourette]

I think it's completely different, by 'repeat headliners' it's meant the same act headlining more than once. And headlining the festival (main stage), not any stage.

[Guest]

If the special guest is Pixies I might climax

[dentalplan]

Ed Sheeran or Ben Howard.

We're all having a lovely time, let's not go and spoil it, eh?

[Gucci Piggy]

Was hoping for Julian Casablancas. Would he be possible below HAIM? Or is that tmwhere the Sunday legend kind of thing is?

Julian below Haim would make me a sad panda.
