@eFestivals how far in advance do you receive the press release?

For Latitude? 

It varies by PR company, but i don't think I got anything early from the new PR firm they started using last year.

When I do get them early (for any event) it tends to be only an hour or two early, tho occasionally they might be as much as 48 hours.

(print publications often get them sooner, because of the lag to publication caused by the print).

I assume the releases are always embargoed to a specific time and date?

If the eFestivals Rumours are true I'll be very disappointed. Except from Lana maybe. I cannot see George Ezra headlining but can certainly see him having the pre Headliner slot along with SP headlining the radio 6 stage. 

As 2018 had A LOT of similar acts as 2015, I'm going to say that 3 year gap theme will be slightly prevelent again. Headliner guesses are... 

Obelisk

Friday- Lana Del Rey 

Pre headloner George Ezra 

Saturday-The Strokes

Pre Headliner - Foals (secret special guest) - possibly R6 tent

Sunday- The National

Pre Headliner - Father John Misty

BBC6 Stage headliners

Friday- Suede 

Saturday - Christine And The Queens  

Sunday- Snow Patrol

That would be a pretty decent line-up but, without wishing to rain on your parade, I think there are some issues with it.

1. George Ezra is too big to sub. His UK arena tour is sold out. He's a big deal at the moment.

2. Foals are playing Thetford forest the month before Latitude. Think that probably rules them out (although hopefully not).

3. The National are the only headliner to have headlined twice. I can't imagine they'd headline a third time (although, again, it would be nice)

4. If Christine and the Queens are playing it's more likely to be headliner on Obelisk, not the BBC tent

5. Suede are awful (but that's just personal opinion!)

6. Snow Patrol are, imho, also too big to headline the tent (their arena tour later this month is also sold out)

Sorry, I know that all sounds negative and I hope I'm wrong on some points.

Fair enough, however alt J have now actually headlined twice 15/18. And latitude are very favourable to The National, it being the only band to be a headliner 2 years in a row 10/11 and promoting them from BB6 to Obelisk respectively. The national have a 2week gap in their european tour which coincides with latitude and they havent played the newest album there yet. I think you're sadly right about Ezra. Christine And The Queens are playing APE so I change my mind about them being there.

Apologies, you're right about Alt-J. Completely forgot about them. You may be right about The National but I would be surprised (but, as I said, really quite happy!)

My daughter would be very happy with Ezra. I don't mind three or four of his but that hardly makes for an enjoyable evening!

Yeah, suspect Christine and the Queens are out. Sadly.

Could easily see Lana Del Rey, Kings of Leon and George Ezra headlining Obelisk with the tent being headlined by Blossoms, Jess Glynne and Franz Ferdinand.

Now that's a depressing prospect! Seriously hope you're wrong but its definitely not out of the question. Comparing previous years line ups, 2018 and 2015 were the only years they have shared a headliner and that was The Killers and Portishead respectively so there isn't much of a pattern. Its pretty much a guarantee that they will share acts but which acts they are is anyone's guess.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
