You know what? You were absolutely right. I should not have expressed an opinion of someone I had never heard. It is a silly thing to do, and I apologise for doing so. 

 

I have now listened to Ben Howard. And......i refer to my previous opinion. Fuck me, he's the aural equivalent of raw tofu. So mind numbingly dull, I think a brain cell decided to strangle itself so it didn't have to process the dull. 

 

So....he's a shoo in for headliner.

Glad you listened to the advice :lol:

I think your lack of optimism for the festival means you should probably go elsewhere

I cant. I love(d) the 'tude. My thinking is......if I expect a dire line up, I will be pleasantly surprised when the initial announcement isnt as shitty as I thought it would be?!?

Course.....that did not work last year at all. Thing is.....after last year, I have MASSIVE apprehension as to wether to give them another 400 plus pounds quid. However.....we now have a wee bairn. And the family area is still top notch. I REALLY dont wanna be going to a festival purely for the kids area......But, with Mrs Retromoz's wish, I may well be.

Sorry to all for moaning.

Any of the folliwng please Melvin:

Kills, Hives, BRMC, Bully, Frank Carter, Breeders, Wolf Alice, MBV, Deap Vally, Distillers (very long shot, hey, but we can dream...)! :rofl:

Most of these that you mention are viable for the festival. Hoping for many of them myself but am preparing for disappointment haha!

I could probably name you about three songs from the entirety of that list. Any crossover to Latitude would be lost on me! I really fear that Solange will also headline Latitude which would be an incredible disappointment based on some of the names that have been floating around (unless she plays Friday and The Flaming Lips are in the tent).

Always, but if we got two from that list I'd be pretty happy.

That Longitude line-up is the best line-up I've seen in 2018 personally. Travis Scott, Solange, Migos, .Paak and Sampha are great bookings - the last two could easily feature at Latitude.

Getting Tyler, The Creator is the festival booking of the year. Considering he is still banned from the UK, people will flock to see him from all over the country.

Other Latitude-esque acts include The Internet, Ibeyi, Khalid, Mabel, Kali Uchis and potentially Princess Nokia

This is sort of off topic but... are Latitude and Reading/Leeds the only  notable UK festivals left to announce? Obviously others haven't revealed their entire lineups yet, but I just mean ones which haven't revealed anything yet.

 

Honestly I'm quite disappointed with UK festivals this year. There's a few I want to do in Europe but I can't :(

Latitude & Reading/Leeds may release on the same day, as they are run by same group, Festival Republic. HOPEFULLY, TONIGHT, tomorrow or next week!

They're both run by Festival Republic but I don't reckon both the line ups will be released on the same day, doesn't really make much sense from a marketing perspective. My guess is this Monday coming for R and L and the following Monday for Latitude.

very unlikely they'll announce on the same day, when they can get twice the publicity by doing them separately.

Very unlikely tonight or over the weekend.

I would think Solange a second stage headliner at Latitude.

The Longitude and Latitude brands have clearly diverged now. Can’t see them continuing sharing a headliner. It’s weird now that Longitude seems to be a hybrid of Lovebox and Wireless - both under the same umbrella as Longitude - but it’s Latitude that it shares its image with.

I've got a weird feeling about this - Latitude line-up coming earlier than usual, plus big shift in acts at Longitude, plus I'm sure Reading & Leeds have usually announced at least one headliner by now? Can't shake the thought that Uncle Melvin's going to surprise us somehow (as long as its not another GOTR takeover)...

If whatever comes out of the ashes of V Festival is still going to happen, that hasn't announced yet either.

Not sure which of these you'd consider major, but Festival No 6, Wilderness, Nozstock, WOMAD, Beautiful Days and Shambala haven't announced anything (WOMAD and BDs won't be announcing until early March, and Shambala probably later than that).

And while they're outside of the UK, Electric Picnic and All Together Now haven't dropped any names yet.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
