Latitude Festival 2017

[evannn]

What about The Chemical Brothers? 

I'd take the trade off of LDR on one night if we got the Chems the other. 

 

[brayshizzle]

id take chemical brothers for sure.

 

[PretentiousThinkpiece]

if the chems and fleet foxes both play latitude i'll take advantage of the festival down the road for the first time in my life

My prediction is XX to play Longitude if it's happening this year. They didn't do any Ireland dates on their tour so I'm expecting an exclusive. 

 

Whether that would include a latitude slot as well I don't know

I think Electric Picnic is maybe just as likely because of Bestival. Also despite their 3 arena show I wouldn't write off Radiohead doing Longitude and Latitude. 

[dirty_dog]

Chems would be ace, I've not seen them live before and still kicking myself at missing them at Glasto 2011

I think Melvin would go for C&S over Chemical Brothers as a headliner.

Has a proper dance/electronic act ever headlined Latitude? I can't see them going for an act like Chemical Brothers (and definitely not Chase & Status) personally.

Don't think so.

I don't think there ever will be on either, just doesn't seem right. 

 

Soulwax was incredible last year though, think Latitude's thing seems to be to "Let's have one dance headliner on the BBC 6 stage" Reckon it'll be... bonobo this year.

Even I disagree with this.

 

It's been a really long day :L

eFests are as certain as they can be, as they've labelled them a 'TBC' on the line up page which is reserved for practically-sure things. So I would expect them personally, Finn. Or is it Fin?

Ah that makes sense, given they have pegged down Reading/Leeds this year months before the announcements. Just a speculation, that is all!

And from what I was led to believe, I am a Fin but was recently stunned to find out people spelt it with an extra "n" so I am currently flexible with the spelling.

[finn_with_1_n]

I was also thinking potential 6Music headliners could be:

The Shins, Chemical Brothers and Anohni, although the latter could sub the Chems

That tent would be pretty full for Chemical Brothers...

In a sense, yes if you accept Kraftwerk. But I appreciate that it's quite different.

There's a gap in their Europe dates that spans from 06/07 to 10/08.  I have no idea on how American festivals work, but looking at Boston Calling there's the XX aren't listed as "US exclusive" or anything like that... 

 

They're at Coachella and also 'Shaky Knees Festival', no idea what that is but sounds amazing 

[Hawky]

Looking at who's around, I think BBC 6 will look something like:

Friday- Moderat 

Saturday- Mac Demarco

Sunday - Bonobo

 

Have no idea with the main, as there's so many festivals yet to announce their lineup. 

 

I'll go with:

 

Friday- 1975

 

Saturday - Sigur Ros 

 

Sunday- Lorde

 

That's my final prediction.

[PretentiousThinkpiece]

Mac's an End of the Road exclusive isn't he?

Where abouts has this been said?

[finn_with_1_n]

21st February they announce the Radio 6 Music festival lineup so that might give us an idea of what to expect, potentially

I was thinking Moderat the other day, big enough to headline though?

 

knowing my luck would clash with Sigur Ros anyway

 

What do people think about Thee oh Sees playing?

Think it would be absolutely awesome if they played, I've got such high hopes for them cropping up! Where abouts would they play though? Sub on 6 Music stage?

It had become more electronic (I think) under Natasha's reign, and now there's the new booker from EYOE/Field Day I expect we might get a bit more. 

I think the Chems are about as dancey as the fest would get, still acceptable for the Guardian/6Music/Family crowd. Obviously they wouldn't book Deadmau5 etc

The 1975 / Primal Scream
