Me and my son are concerned we may not fit in so have started growing beards. It may be a problem for him as he hasn't started shaving yet.

As long as your son is called Tarquin you'll fit right in. :P

----------

Regarding the act I'm talking about: there's zero chance of anyone guessing it, unless they've heard details of what was planned.

I 100% guarantee that's the case. So you might as well forget it with the guesses.

wtf! i can see what neil meant now!!

except that's not quite how it started out .... it's lost the biggest name of all that was originally part of it (tho the pop-pickers wouldn't really know him), and I'm still not going to give that away as I suspect that person might be one of the guests.

i reckon i would have guessed it eventually tho...

not a bleedin' chance. :lol:

Do you mean David Byrne? Seems strange that they haven't mentioned him by name..

it's a great booking but not a crowd friendly one.

Chasing pop acts have made festivals far less interesting than they used to be. Perhaps this is the start of the reverse of that.

Its certainly intriguing. And you wouldn't have guessed it. Which is to be commended. Its a similiar suprise in booking as that Gene Clark band thingy at End Of The Road. I welcome a distancing from 'traditional' festival acts.

(i realise the irony of typing this with headliners of Two Door Cinema Club & Black Keys at the 'tude....)

I agree it is a great booking. I was just thinking that 2 'headline' slots that are basically side projects was a little odd. Especially at a festival supporting around 35 000 people. Especially if David Byrne doesn't put in a shift.

Anyway i was confused - I thought we were trying to work out the 'Secret' Guest not the Sunday slot - so does my shout of Eno/Hyde still stand - or is it defo Prince ;)

Afternoon all, bit of a random one from a newbie to Latitude.

Me and two other mates going to Latitude for the first time this year. I don't want to piss anyone off by being too loud or anything so which camp would be best for us?

We aren't a foul or disrespectful bunch but we do stay up late and talk around the camp, just don't want to annoy people by pitching in a quiet spot by mistake.

Thanks in advance

This is an excellent booking!

Piccadilly Records went mad for Who Is William Onyeabor? when it was released last year, so I gave it a listen and absolutely loved it. I really thought we'd get something shit, but this is amazing! I guarantee the sun will shiiiiiiiiine.

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
