The Black Keys

They have to be considered likely.

They're easily gonna be big enough to headline the other, potentially sub a headliner perhaps?

Either way, I'll be there if they play, would love my Sunday night to be filled by an hour of amazing music.

Yeah I don't think they'll play anymore. Three countries in three days is probably tough plus they're seemingly doing a midweek gig every week they're in Europe too. The festivals they're doing Glastonbury weekend aren't particularly big ones so I imagine if they were doing Glastonbury, they wouldn't cram them in too for the sake of it.

I'd have thought they'd be quite keen to play Glastonbury, they've played before and it got them some good exposure in the UK. A headline slot on the other stage would be a great platform to air some new material for them. Plus I can't think which other UK festival they'd play around that time.

Saying that the rest of their dates seem more spread out so 3 dates in 3 countries does seem a bit of a push.

I don't see three (European) countries in three nights being that much different to Dolly Parton doing two consecutive nights at the O2 and then heading over to Glastonbury on the Sunday. It's nearly twice as far from St Gallen to Beuningen as it is from there to Glastonbury actually.

Play the show in Beuningen, quick tour bus ride up to Amsterdam, flight into Bristol, supping cider in the Vale of Avalon sunshine by midday Sunday. Done.

It's on.

So The Black Keys are headlining Latitude but aren't mentioned as an exclusive whereas the other two headliners are. Having not been announced for any other UK festivals so far, would it be fair to imagine there's now a decent possibility of them playing Glasto? They could easily sub the Pyramid.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
