Yeah it's never been one that I think to attend anyway but definitely not.

Full set of Latitude headliners and the undercard out

Beige AF. Friends were keen but unless they add a LOT more interesting stuff we will be skipping this.

Latitude is slowly morphing in to the latter day Bestival before it died. Seems to be trying to appeal to a broader audience but in doing so just looks like a mish mash of every other mid-size festival in the U.K. rather than the distinctive vibe the lineups had before. I’m sure it’ll pad out and look a lot better on further announcements as is almost always the case, but f**k me is that a drab first drop.

This has taken a turn from giving the likes of alt-J, Fleet Foxes, The National, The Maccabees, Portishead and Bon Iver headline spots.

It is a really sad state of affairs for latitude. It has always been my second festival but they have changed the booking policy and moved away from the original remit. They recently have had 1 good mainstage headliner and then 2 strong second stage headliners but this is the weakest first announcement ever.

haha I love that. Following a result at a gig is always funny. My best one was Neighbourhood Weekender trying to stream the last game of last season in front of the stage when Sea Girls were on!

Everton fan here. I was at Slam Dunk in Leeds on the last day of the season last year when we played Bournemouth. I had next to no signal and was relying on people updating me. I was in the queue for food when I got about five messages saying we'd scored. Lost my sh*t in as quiet a way as possible (in Leeds). What a day.

Wow, that's absolutely dreadful

Only two acts worth seeing

[charlierc]

Slipknot UK/Europe run for this time next year

 

[charlierc]

That mystery London date for the Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie tour will be at All Points East

 

[charlierc]

First names for Mad Cool Festival, which seems to have committed after its "See You in 2025" post lead a few people to think it wasn't gonna happen:

Some mystery headliners could be something to keep an eye on.

Don't like the o2 at all, its crap, but Slipknot will absolutely get me there 👺

[Krisesk]

Girls Aloud have added another date in London on Thursday the 27th. No chance they play six nights in a row, so any tiny chance of them doing the Friday at Glastonbury is gone now.

They ruled themselves out on the one show

Editors tour for Feb/Mar '24

No London date is particularly noteworthy. Wonder why that could be.

I will also like to have it on record that I might've been more up for the Killers' dates in June/July with this than Travis, but that could just be because I'm not as familiar with their work.

woop, 2 x standing tickets sorted! If anyone wants in, HMU for the presale code 

[Padjeq]

Had a look at Doja Cat ticket factory presale today. I really like her but standing's about £100 so had to back out. Too many expensive arena gigs for me booked too recently. Think others feel the same way as it's been nearly 2 and a half hours and they're still available. We're at breaking point now.

 

 

Speaking of availability I had a look at Noah Kahan out of interest. Looks like he's sold exactly 5 tickets in the O2 Priority allocation for this section (£82.50 to hear that one song!)

Arena stuff is getting wild. Depeche Mode had nothing below £100 save for some side-view tickets right in the rafters of the O2, which I just couldn't get enthusiastic about indulging. It's quite something you can get cheaper tickets for West End theatre shows.

Feels like they've got the kind of audience that will find the money for that show (or put it on credit cards if needs be).

Until a few years ago, late January (ie targetting the end of the month pay packet, and with the dust settled on Christmas) and February was almost the standard for announcing big summer gigs and festivals so I don't think they'll feel uncomfortable holding an announcement until then. Though yeah in the past few years it's tended to be (much) earlier than that.
