I'm also in a meeting at 9.30am but have got my laptop with me and have already positioned myself at the end of the table so I have nobody sitting next to me!

Ezra, Lana and Snow Patrol. Strokes look set to be going to Glastonbury.

That's a terrible line-up, so much that IOW beats it easily.

You can admit that you like the IOW line up. No one will judge.

Oof, that's pretty whack, but with some great bands peppered in there, which just makes it all the more of a shame. O Latitude, what has become of you?

Tbf it usually starts like that then they keep adding more good stuff. Still feels like my long range Lana prediction has come in at a bad time though.

Having had another look, there's a decent amount on there to keep me happy enough - Lana, Underworld, Loyle Carner, Cat Power, Anna Calvi, Primal Scream, Slaves, RBCF, Nadine Shah, Sons of Kemet...

The main issue with the lineup is most of those are pretty easy to catch elsewhere. There aren't really any 'wow' bookings.

I feel quite certain she's headlining because you've willed it into existence with so many years of saying it's going to happen.

The line-up has some merit to it (keeping this positive as have tickets already booked!) Just hope a few more decent names come out of the wood work in the coming months. Comedy line-up is pretty decent too. Have to agree that the IOW line-up knocks this announcement out of the park though. Still time for Latitude to turn it around though.

Decidedly underwhelming.

My thoughts entirely.

Latitude is very family friendly, we had a kid in 2015 and last went that year (New Order/The Maccabees/The National headliners). I thought I would be a long-term shoe in as an attendee, had been to pretty much all of them up to that point.

However since 2016 it's completely gone off the boil for me musically. Every year I'm waiting to drop a load of wedge on 3 weekenders and a campervan ticket, the line-up comes out and my meh-o-meter goes into overload. 

Ditto Reading Festival - whoever is bookingbands for Festival Republic used to have my ear, now they very much don't.

I'm sure some people think this is amazing but I'm reluctantly a no yet again.  It will probably struggle to sell out again too - that never used to be the case.

Definitely agree re 2016 being the last really good lineup. 

I went in 2015 because well, Portishead - how could I not? Then 2016 was absolutely littered with fantastic acts. Could not wait for 2017 lineup release and then...meh...

It's never had a bad lineup but nothing overly impressive the last few years.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
