Headliners 2015 - Wishes, rumours, my mate knows someone who knows someone that says...

[klipper]

Good shout, on sigur ros and Hot Chip, Just not so sure on this Portishead, never really heard of them before , are they a band or a single artist ?

It was a ludicrously hopeful not gonna happen situation, i'm hoping realistically for portishead and then don't really care about the other two, have a listen mate

[swooddow]

could you imagine if someone like dire straights played ! amazing !

[dentalplan]

Could Pet Shop Boys still headline Latitude? Not been that much speculation on the 'return headliner' after long believing it's Nutini and now that seemingly being ruled out. They've got some dates this summer anyway.

Not amazing

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Are you smoking crack?

Id never listened to Portishead before I joined efestivals and everyone was going on about them so I bought Dummy and I adore it, amazing album

[JunnoBons]

Is this Swooddow person winding us all up?

[swooddow]

no, well not intentionally. Im just putting my view points across and who I would like to see at the festival, same as everyone else. I also didn't know who portish head was.

But yer I cant wait for the line up to come out !

So excited for this year , booked by tickets in Jan! haha

[Gucci Piggy]

Mate I'm afraid you might have made a big mistake there. Doesn't sound like the right festival for you.

[swooddow]

iv been going to latitude for years mate, I love it , as does everyone on here, I just find it so funny that the minuet someone either does not know a certain band, or has a slightly different view point on music people go nuts and have this mob mentality ! , it hilarious !

[swooddow]

Jokes , in all seriousness I would love the line up to be:

Ben Howard, Alt-J and Snow Patrol. That would be amazing !

I reckon alt-j and ben howard both quite likely, but one of them, not both, there's only one "moved through the ranks" headliner.

But mr swooddow, search you're heart and you will find that Portishead are headlining.

[swooddow]

i thought it would be a dream mate to have them both ! , haha , but I will be happy with one. Yer they probs are which is ok, as will get into them and start listening to their stuff.

Who else you got on your wish list then mr Klipper ?

Tbh I'd be happy with portishead headlining and am already very happy with Sun Kil Moon who's self confirmed. Sleater-kinney, four tet and caribou would all be very welcome.

[klipper]

Damn Beth's voice is just so perfect

My excitement for an act that might not play and could not be booked in favour of Noel Gallagher is worrying. I shall mourn on tuesday if the unspeakable happens.

[Amy Lawn]

It must be Portishead, there is no other way.

I've just accepted them headlining as fact now, I'll be in bits if they're not announced on Tuesday.

[swooddow]

the only thing is that Portishead are playing at a festival abroad over the exact weekend of latitude.

Listen to some Portishead buddy it's soul soothing stuff.

Yeah but it's in europe and owned by the same company as latitude so tbh it makes them more likely.

[Gucci Piggy]

Can't wait for the announcement of Sam Smith, Noel Gallagher and Snow Patrol though. GOML won't be able to contain himself.

Not even in fun, go to your room and have a think about what you just said.

[swooddow]

I'm in my room and thinking about it now, we'll have a jolly good knees up!

Sorry but that was my worst case scenario. I'd personally prefer Portishead, The National and someone who's worked their way up through the ranks (dunno who has, really).
