Bands for 2017

[WM Hall]

Let's get Bing & Ruth and Rival Consoles on the line up

[Dylan's Big Toe]

Are we expecting an announcement in March this year? Last year we had about 30 acts announced in February then another 30 on 8th March. This year we had about 60 in the initial announcement so I'm guessing no additions for another month or 2?

Saw Mega Bog supporting Big Thief last week in Brighton.

Big Thief were fantastic.

Mega Bog on the other hand I won't be worrying about anyone clashing with 

 

 

I saw both in Bristol and agree with you on both counts.

I'm seeing Josefin Ohrn on Friday, which reminds me that we're low on the psych band count at the moment.

he's got one or two decent songs but he just seems incredibly arrogant with a huge ego.. the whole wise-guy satirical-poetic-prophet-of-the-left schtick is just irritating too.

 

still, each to their own.

I see there is some cross over with the Electric Fields line up. Do you think we might see a few more of these artists? Would like to see Frightened Rabbit and British Sea Power again.

 (sorry WM Hall this wasn't in reply to your post but the only way I could post using my phone).

American Football have a very short UK tour starting in Brighton on the End of the Road Friday.  Might be an option for the Thursday night.

Saw them in 2015 at Gorilla in Manchester. They performed an extra 'matinee' show on the day of their gig because of the level of demand. Slightly strange experience to be at a sold out gig early on a Saturday afternoon, at least outside a festival, but was still enjoyable!

[Yokel Again]

Be happy with FRabbit after managing to miss them twice at Glastonbury last year.

[shoebox]

I can see Anna Meredith being on a few festival bills this summer. Hope she returns to EOTR as I only caught the very end of her set last year.

[gigs]

An excellent evening at the Concord last night for the Drive by Truckers. Played a mix of tunes from several albums, including 4 from Southern Rock Opera. Also a timely cover of gimme some truth by John Lennon. Good support from a band I hadn't heard of called Eyelids, who are well worth a look at.

[ljsawyer]

Next announcement coming this week according to Instagram! Who are we thinking they've booked as the third headliner?

[Yokel Again]

Listening to Fleet Foxes new tune this afternoon - hope it's them, but guessing it won't be - presumably Latitude is an exclusive. 

[Yesiamaduck]

We'll be adding more names to the line up on Thursday morning, including our third headliner! And it’s a doozy. *smug face*

[Guy Incognito]

Thursday morning for the announcement! Yeah Fleet Foxes are sadly a Latitude exclusive

[Swanmob]

If Interpol is still a possibility that would be great.

It needs to happen one day, surely?

[ljsawyer]

The Magnetic Fields? Probably a pipe dream, but would be a massive coup.

[WM Hall]

Ooof - The Magnetic Fields is a good shout, I reckon.

 

Let's get some more leftfield / 'out there' names - Omar Souleyman, Bing & Ruth, Ata Kak, Syrinx, Jameszoo

[Swanmob]

May as well continue in the Parquet Courts, Carseat Headrest, Omni, Duds vein so I would say Useless Eaters, Preoccupations, Thee Oh Sees again. Mostly wishful thinking probably.

Third headliner clue - 'we'll all be waving flags during their set.'

The national?

[bobbyperu]

That would be British Sea Power then? Not sure they are headliner size?

British Sea Power? One of their songs is 'Waving Flags'? Although are they big enough to headline?

[Yokel Again]

Enjoyed BSP the year I saw them (2009?) - not sure about headlining though?

[juliadevitt]

omg, They went down a storm on the Garden Stage just before the headliner a couple of years ago. Please let it be true!

 

[shoebox]

I love BSP, really do. But a Woods headline slot would not constitute a "doozy" for me. They have played many times and I cannot see that their stock has risen to headliner status, not for a festival of EOTR's size anyway. They are also playing lower down the bill on many other festivals this summer, most of which I would consider to be smaller and/or less prestigious.
