Beaucoup Fish Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 George Ezra seems like a bizarre fit for Latitude. I was at a toddler's party recently and one of his songs came on. The kids loved it. Which is great. But I don't see how his music fits with what Latitude has been doing for the last ten years. It's all well and good to ringfence him as a token act to get the kids in, but it's a slippery slope. Just take a look at the V line-ups from the 90s compared to more recent ones.

Don’t toddlers get in for free anyway? Big mistake. Personally I think that him headlining Neighbourhood might encroach on Latitude a bit. If it’s three of The Strokes, Jaw Jezra, Lana Del Rey and Snow Patrol then I think he dips out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not convinced he's big enough and he's headlining Neighborhood in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 George Ezra is massively popular, and has enough credibility that he'll have a fairly big crossover audience with folk that go to festivals. He's fine for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseamer Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) George Ezra had the 2nd biggest selling album of last year in the uk, beaten only by the Greatest Showman Soundtrack but ahead of Ed Sheeran, Drake and Post Malone, Arctic Monkeys etc and when he played Glastonbury on the Other Stage (early eve slot) the field was rammed. He could easily headline Latitude if that's what organisers went for. Edited January 8, 2019 by rseamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 He also headlined Boardmasters last year which is substantially larger than Latitude. Though granted you probably wouldn't typically realise the size difference judging by the respective lineups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latitude capacity is 39,999 - what is Boardmasters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 The Boardmasters capacity is 53,000 so the difference is only 13,000, which to be honest is less than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swelsbyuk Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) And I though Boardmasters was more like 45k so it's more than I thought! Mind you, an extra 13,000 people at £200 each gives Boardmasters organisers an extra £2.6m budget over Latitude.

I'm sure Latitude make up the shortfall with those extortionate 'Latitude Luxury' packages, that don't even include a ticket!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
