We need to be positive soldier! Ads by Kiosked With the success of Mumford and Sons last year, I can definitely see this years festival being more mainstream and a "brand new look" could be just that. I just hope that the Longitude lineup isn't a sign of what's to come because the beauty of Latitude has always been its individuality and varied lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Some lush names for Longitude; Solange, Andy .Paak, Sampha, Migos, Ibeyi, Khalid, Princess Nokia (and Big Shaq ), Latitude going to have to graft to match that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think there is anything to be read from this or is it just coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swelsbyuk Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I would guess (and it is only a guess) that because the BBC is publicly funded they are not able to tie any acts down to 'exclusive' contracts etc as this would then give them an unfair advantage over other, non publicly funded, festivals. My guess, therefore, is that there will be a few acts appearing at the Biggest Weekend that are also appearing at Latitude and Festival Republic want to ensure tickets are bought for their festival and not any of the BBC's. So, who could these acts be? I would guess Wolf Alice, James Bay, Snow Patrol, Beck, Breeders, First Aid Kit, Young Fathers, Little Dragon.

The announcement is at midday, whereas Biggest Weekend tickets go on sale in the morning. I don't think they're factoring the Beeb as competitors here; Melvin Benn is even involved in the Biggest Weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromoz Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Tickets go on sale in the morning, yes. But, as they are cheaper than an itv2 reality TV show, they will surely sell out sharpish. And then, all those acts you can't see at the BBC shindig can be announced for the 'tude. I reckon.

scatteredscreens Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Some really solid acts there. If I hadn't seen The War on Drugs twice previously (and they're also playing APE) and Arcade Fire twice after the Manchester gig in April I'd be game. Catfish is disappointing but oh well. And that undercard has some gems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
