Latitude 2019

I have an inkling that it could be Massive Attack. What with Kraftwerk playing a while ago in 3d, and what with this new tour being a new "totally new audio/visual production", I think something similar could happen.

I am useless at predicting headliners though....

I could see either Hot Chip (probably because i want them) or The XX as headliners next year assuming that either of them release new music beforehand..

If they continue with the big Saturday headliner then Florence or maybe Elbow

I too am invariably way off on predictions however..

Would assume all would headline. Lana would be good and Ezra seems inevitable and would sell well - Snow Patrol ruin things somewhat.

Sounds pretty legit. Seems that they've binned off having a notably bigger Saturday night headliner, if that was ever a trend.

Edit - if true of course.

Snow Patrol were the first Latitude headliner. :P

haha still supports what I'm saying though, that it's a shit/outdated booking. 

With regards to my comment on potential, they used to book really interesting headliners; Nick Cave, Sigur Ros, Kratwerk and Portishead to name a few. I thought that after they got a booker from Field Day and festivals like Bestival started to drop off in the last few years they would capitalise on it and head for slightly more interesting, left field bookings but that doesn't seem to be the case. Wasted opportunity in my eyes. I know they had Solange last year but that did seem like a proper anomalous booking

I'm sure it'll still well well so fair play to them, but I really enjoyed my visits a good few years ago but can't see myself ever going back now. Just seems really uninspiring now.

I don't see why not. That he's not headlined this stuff before doesn't mean he's not a massive act these days. He shifts an absolute shitload of tickets.

But man was referring to there being a headliner that could perceivably be too big for Latitude, because they headline bigger festivals usually. George Ezra is big but doesn’t fit that. In fact last year they had Mumfords and The 1975; Ezra would be The 1975 in this scenario.

Woof, and here I thought they were turning it back around with this year's line-up. I pondered to myself if it looked something like Hot Chip, Massive Attack, and Florence with an interesting 6 Music headliner against her I could be tempted back, lololol.

with the Hot Chip APE announcement out surely they are going to be nailed on here...? Latitude like to see bands come through their ranks so a natural next step.

Won’t happen. APE is AEG and Latitude is FR. They don’t share.

not sure AEG have enough festies to offer to put that sort of restriction onto a not-headline act.

And the way the APE press release was worded suggested that Hot Chip will be doing a number of festival shows.

Could they offer promoter-based restrictions though? Like they could do Glasto and Bluedot but no Live Nation?

they might do, who knows?

But I think more likely is the fairly standard 'no competing shows' around the date and area, if there's any restriction at all.

Because there's not really any benefit back to AEG if the act is still able to do some festival shows but not others. The benefit comes from exclusivity.

I am sure one year in the early days Muse did 52 festivals in the summer run.

i guess no exclusives there ?

I'd be fine with Lana and George Ezra, alongside a big headliner on the saturday but Snow Patrol would be a terrible choice. I'd much rather have Tame Impala or Vampire Weekend in there, though they probably aren't regarded as big enough for that slot, Arcade Fire (who I'm guessing aren't around) or The Strokes.

Wait what? The Strokes at Latitude?

Yeah 

Good booking for Latitude I think. Their stock has definitely fallen a touch, they were touted round a few festivals, so there demands obviously aren't the same as years gone by

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
