@Hawky Not convinced that Snow Patrol wont be at Latitude. They're in Spain/Portugal on the 12th (Thursday) and 13th (Friday) at NOS and Mad Cool respectively, gives them plenty of time to get back and play the Sunday. Would be a bit of a boring choice mind and are they actually big enough to headline anymore?

Really hoping we get Jack White as one of the headliners.

Obviously I can't categorically rule them out, as I don't know, but there must be a reason why there isn't much crossover between these festivals and latitude esp when there are a lot of acts that fits both demographics. 

Personally, I'd put Snow Patrol on the v. Unlikely pile.

Yeah I guess that logic makes sense which is a shame cause there are lots of acts playing both of those that would fit nicely at Latitude.

2Thoughts on Jack White now he's announced 2 shows at Hammersmith Apollo? 

Interesting there's no mention of "only UK dates of 2018" ... or "Only England shows..."

Last couple of times he's toured he's played the Hammersmith Apollo and then come back later in the year to do more dates. Would imagine he'll come back in the Autumn/Winter for a tour taking in a few more locations. Don't think he'll do Latitude, even though I threw him in as a contender recently.

Snow Patrol would be awful but after last year I wouldn't be surprised after last year.

Can currently see 3 of Catfish, CHVRCHES, Snow Patrol, Florence and the Machine, Paloma Faith.

Hardly an inspiring bunch when you look at the line up for some of the European festivals taking place around the same time as Latitude.

Was going to say I can't see Florence AND Paloma being there, but Mumford and Fleet Foxes are as similar as Florence and Paloma.

MBV just got announced for a festival in Japan in August so they're active next summer. Would work well as a tent headliner maybe?

They could fill the Placebo slot from last year. I would be very happy with that

Eels are in the UK early July. They must be a shoe in for mid/upper main stage or headlining the tent.

I think that's most likely because he'll be back at the end of year (as @dentalplan suggested in another thread somewhere)

And as I suggested in the following post

If MBV get announced I'll go through an array of emotions, within 5 seconds of the announcement; all positive.

If you look at alt-J and their dates, they are in Belgium on the 14th of July, and that is a 6 hour and 17 minute drive away from Latitude Festival, so that could VERY likely mean alt-J headline the last day (the 15th of July)

I doubt it, they headlined not too long ago (2015 I think) so cant see them being back again so soon.

[Hawky]

these are all HIGHLY unlikely to play.

Ok, but to point out, they did attend in 2013, the year after their first album, then in 2015, the year after their second album. MAYBE, just maybe, their third album RELAXER (2017) will turn out to have the same results. Plus, I am holding onto all hope they will be there! If not alt-J then I god hope Sigur Ros or Django Django!

You make a good point but Latitude have only ever had one repeat headliner. There is a slim chance I guess but I don't see it.

UGGGH! Whhhhhyyyyyy lifeeee?!?!  The only other evidence I have is that survey they sent on Twitter asking people to review the 2017 Latitude Festival and when it came to picking out an act you'd like to see in 2018, they had alt-J as an option. I CAN STILL DREAM!

Jack White can be ruled out, he is playing Nos Alive, Mad Cool and a Finnish festival Latitude weekend, damn!

[jamesrfisher]

I have given up guessing, only leads to disappointment as all the other festivals start announcing and you realise the acts you had pinned your hopes on can't possibly fit Latitude in. Just have to wait for the beginning of March to come around and hope that Latitude does something left-field like having a band headline who have no new material and letting them curate/spoil (delete as you see fit) a day's line up!
