Glad you listened to the advice I think your lack of optimism for the festival means you should probably go elsewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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).

finn_with_1_n Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMWMOfficial Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Does this mean Latitude line-up tomorrow?!?!?!?!?!?!?! It would make sense! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

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. Edited February 9, 2018 by suttttttt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swelsbyuk Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Next week is half-term week for most of UK. Great time to release Latitude line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Could definitely see Solange headlining. Solange + The Killers + someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrfisher Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Don't FR normally release Latitude line-up a week after R&L? Also, Beautiful Days not releasing line-up until March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 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.

Cat Man Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 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)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
