i reckon this is the shout... NOS Alive and Mad Cool on Thursday/Friday then Latitude Sunday...

They are pushing the new album on the telly FFS, and having The Killers would have bumped the attendance up.

They wont have a massive act there... it is still only a sunday 4pm slot.

Snow Patrol do seem likely. Is it definitely Sunday 4pm? First I’d heard of a time, but I suppose as soon as stage times go out we’d know anyway

 I I’m not sure... I just seem to recollect...

my wife just told me I am wrong though... apparently Two Door Cinema Club played Saturday last year...

what do I know..? I’m an old bloke.!

I’ve seen Liam Gallagher mentioned a couple of times, one on a forum with quite specific info involving the killers.

Wouldn’t be too surprising, given that he’s on a mission to play everywhere this summer.

[John L]

I’ll go for The The to be the secret act.

LG? 

Latitude? 

Have you been before? ?

LG and Latitude go together about as well as Filet Mignon and Chardonnay. (That's a Latitude joke that sums up the place, if you've never been)

Yes I have been before, I am merely reporting what I have seen elsewhere.

I can see it now...

LG: "HOW ARE YOU C***S DOING?"

Child: "Daddy, what's a C***? And am I one?"

My Bloody Valentine have got to be in with a shout for the secret set

that's what I'm hoping.

 

Are Snow Patrol really "Iconic"?

Playing in Spain on Friday with nothing on for the rest of the weekend. Fingers crossed.

 

No

No

I think if it was snow patrol, they'd use the word * (Edit) PREVIOUS HEADLINER instead, much like TDCC last year.

Final line up is up. We have Deap Vally people?

I'll go Iggy Pop.

[cdm22]

I'll go with somebody nowhere near as good or iconic as is being bandied about so it end up being a bit of a disappointment

Quoi? I think it’s a good shout. He’s everywhere this year, even popped up at Radio 2’s Big Weekend event in Coventry which must have large crossover with this.

More reasonable than MBV anyway, as I am sure they won’t publicise a special secret set and then spring deafness on unsuspecting punters hoping for someone they’ve heard of instead.

I hope not. Gary Lightbody seems like a really nice bloke but there's something about Snow Patrol that just leaves me numb. Chasing Cars has got to be the biggest chunk of Indie anti-matter greyness ever written.

So I'm standing here, arms outstreched, waiting for the deathblow... ?x

I love love the new album, but then I love indie dirge so who am I to comment :-)

I wouldn’t presume to comment on the new album because I haven’t heard it. Should probably clarify that I have no issue with snow patrol generally- I just have an irrational long-standing hatred of that one particular song!

Either of those would be the icing on a very tasty-looking cake

[scuzzboy]

Paul Simon.

Have to admit they have passed me by, however after 5 min on YouTube they have just been added to my list.

Be warned they do have a reputation for being a bit hit and miss live. When they’re on they are ON it, but when they’re not they’re REALLY not. Guess you could at that of all bands though. I’ve got a hunch they’re gonna tear it up in the tent

[eFestivals]

just in...

Festival organisers have confirmed the secret act will  "Iconic"'.  This is possibly the biggest secret set Latitude has ever booked.

Brilliant - 'possibly' covers themselves

Who else have they had as secret sets we can compare against ? :-)

Van Morrison - whats he up to at the moment ? I have no idea why I thought of him !
