Latitude 2018

[Hawky]

It's going to be a returning headliner, The Killers and Female according to someone on the official unofficial thread.

Final guess:

Solange/ Alanis Morissette

The Killers 

Snow Patrol

I agree.

7 sold out shows at Eventim Apollo would suggest he could fill an arena.

Hasn’t Bon Iver done wembley arena on their second album? They’re an arena band if they wanted to be, surely?

The Killers 

Snow Patrol.

None of those fit what rawaudioinput said.

[mercury]

i think the killers and solange are correct and the returning headliner is alt-j or bon iver, both of whom would fit rawaudioinput's description as someone not really mentioned but pretty obviously latitudey.

@rawaudioinput this tie in with what you know?

If it's a woman I'd imagine it's Lana Del Rey 

[Brownie30]

Solange's recent album was good, but I'm not convince she's anywhere near big enough in the UK to headline a 40,000 capacity festival. Only time will tell.

this would also fit in with the info about the lineup being unbalanced though.

 

i'm thinking solange/the killers/alt-j

 

going for alt-j over bon iver purely because i think there will be at least 1 british headliner.

[Hawky]

That guy above ruled out Snow Patrol. 

 

No snow patrol or Bastille, what a time to be alive!

I think they ruled out everyone who isn’t headlining tbh.

Wow it is not as if the post directly above yours ruled her out 

[Gucci Piggy]

The user on lat forums says the small headliner hasn't been guessed, but they're playing a Festival in western Europe within 2 weeks of Latitude. I'm assuming this is the female as Flo has been ruled out.

The returning headliner isn't Snow Patrol or Elbow. As far as I can see Alt J not ruled out but they only headlined in 2015? Seems too quick to have them back that's why I haven't considered them.

The Big headliner is The Killers.

The suggestion of Alanis Morrisette on those forums seems a good one. Still can't wrap my head around the idea of Solange headlining..

Yeah that's why I didn't think it'd be them, but they are as Latitude as you can get.

When you think of Latitude you think of beige. When you think of beige you think of alt-J.

[SomeoneListeningIn]

Yeah alt-J do seem to be the best fit. As far as I'm aware they've not been announced for any other festivals in the UK yet so it's likely they've got them as an exclusive.

Solange, The Killers, alt-J.

[WMWMOfficial]

11 HOURS & 30 MINUTES LEFT UNTIL LINE-UP!

[dentalplan]

I predict that I'm not gonna be arsed about the headliners or much of the main stage, the comedians will be the same ones they always have, and the lower music stages are gonna be actually really quite strong but it turns out all the best acts clash.

[WMWMOfficial]

If The Lake Stage was as strong as it was in 2016 (personal opinion) I'll be over the moon!

[Hawky]

Looking at Alt J's dates...

Thursday: bilbao Bbk, Spain

Friday: Gurtenfest, Switzerland

Saturday: Dour Festival, Belgium 

Sunday: Latitude, UK.

Hectic.

Looks like it’s actually old-J playing the Swiss festival.

It's a lot though isn't it, 4 shows on the bounce in 4 different countries? 2000km of travelling 

Roughly on stage:

Thursday- 2130

Friday- 2200

Saturday-2230

Sunday- 2130
