No worries.

I've been in 16/17 so if you have any qs feel free to ask and I'll try to answer.

Although I not been to 17, I have been to 16; but goddamn was I upset when I found Mumford & Sons plus Fatboy Slim were there 

 

Hope there's another DJ this time too

I really don't like M&S, I read some stories about them and they came off incredibly egotistical and pompous. I do however like their stuff with Baba maal, so I looked at the setlist before hand and timed my approach to coordinate with Baba maal coming on stage.

Crazy booking if you think about it though, theyve headlined Glastonbury and RnL, so I can see why Melvin jumped at the chance to have have GOTR inspired day  Sold out too so it obviously worked.

Isn't Irish Latitude Electric Picnic anyway

I had never paid attention to it before but it absolutely is isnt it...

pick up the 2017 line-up and drop it in Henham Park and the Suffolk regulars would be well happy this summer..

Due to my naivety, what is this festival like. I know FR organise it but what music is it and who is expected to be announced tomorrow?

1) look at previous lineups. (Specifically 15/16/17)

2) not a clue.

Is the usual announcement one or all of the headliners and could like Smashing Pumpkins play. I got the impression they are not right for RandL but could they do Latitude? Part of their comeback?

Majority of line-up announced tomorrow by the looks of it.

 

'RE Smashing Pumpkins, they're more likely for this than RnL however I'm not expecting them to be announced tomorrow; no indication they're active in the summer.

Smashing Pumpkins, Snow Patrol and somebody else would buy my ticket like...

Number 2 is what I'm finding funny. I'm used to festivals with rumours pre build up. Or a least x,y,z are always on.

I heard M&S on the radio earlier and thought at least they won't be playing thankfully.

[Miesh]

I would really like to see Will Varley. He's on my list. I chose Toots over him last year at Glastonbury and they didn't perform.

Any chance or was he there last year?

[WMWMOfficial]

Headliners I hope are at Latitude:

Sigur Rós

Ben Howard

alt-J

 

Headliners I think are most likely to be there:

Ben Howard

Bastille

Snow Patrol

I've just realised NOS, Mad Cool and Super Rock are all 1 week later this year, rendering my "no act has played NOS/ Mad Cool and latitude in one weekend" comment mute. 

I'll do another rumour roundup thingy later tonight.

I think with the amount of excitement I have atm, I'll be up all night!  College tomorrow, but just might call in sick to be excited elsewhere (I wish)

Well there's a pretty easy explanation as to why no acts have played all three festivals in one weekend in that case then

You're quick.

[Hawky]

If Snow Patrol do headline, it'll be their 2nd repeat booking in 3 years (bear in mind, before 16 the festival never had a band headline twice)

[evannn]

The Metro has confirmed the headliners before hasn’t it? Could we find out in the morning maybe

The point still stands, all be it the festivals were a week before, no band has ever played NOS Mad Cool and Latitude. 

It just loses legs after you learn mad and nos didn't used to be on the same weekend as lat
