I'd love Phoebe Bridgers, Charli XCX, Christine and the Queens, Two Door Cinema Club, Michael Kiwanuka and Royal Blood on the line up. Royal Blood and possibly CATQ + TDCC would headline really. would be very strong subs (although bastille are a super weak headliner so not out of the question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh69 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Don't worry everyone, turns out the first two headliners are shit because they've spent most of their budget on Radiohead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a lot of European festivals started announcing in October but I'll say November just before Christmas rush so it's a happy medium, they'll probably have a clearer picture then as to who could make an appearance as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I had tickets for both Latitude and Tramlines this year, so had the option to carry both over to next year. I carried the Tramlines ticket over but decided against the Latitude one as I had a feeling they might have everyones pants down when it came to the headliners for next year compared to this year.

Chapple12345 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Haim are reportedly touring at the end of June in the UK, is there too long a gap between then and the new festival dates or are they one to keep an eye on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawky Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I said to myself idc about the lineup, I just want to get back to Latitude but WOW that first lineup announcement is incredible, making me rethink everything. That being said, in terms of the festival's demographic they've done really well to get the most generic commercial drivel which all the mum's and dad's will eat up.

Chapple12345 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm having a big struggle trying to think of any of the remaining acts, the new dates are too late for the European festival season in late June/July and too early for the August ones so I'm thinking more we'll end up with far more British acts, any other predictions/speculation of acts to make an appearance?

I'm hoping it will be a bigger act (Killers size maybe) but still clueless about who it could be, but in the same breadth it could be argued LC is a big name and Bastille have a big worldwide following too, I always feel you always get a good diversity of headliners at the festival though so I'm still unsure about who it could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a crowd pleaser no doubt but I can't imagine it being an expensive booking. Bastille are another crowd pleaser, no doubt they'll go down well, but again the fee to headline is going to be small in comparison to other headliners. I don't think they're exclusive either. The fact Killers were on a stadium tour at the time of Latitude no doubt helped Latitude bag them but I can definitely see the final headliner being someone of that stature. I'd love Radiohead but I think KoL are more likely. Imagine that three, best get praying for good 6music headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC isn’t an exclusive, he’s doing a fair few festivals but Bastille have said its their only festival date next year. Im still shooting for the stars and saying the final headliner will be a big female star like Dua Lipa, namely because Latitude are aiming for 50/50 gender splits and diverse headliners so I would love to see someone like her on. I don’t think Radiohead are active currently but Thom or EOB are definitely a shout to play the tent and the full band may be a headliner in the near future. KOL are a band I’m genuinely shocked have never played before, alongside The Strokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOL are a band I’m genuinely shocked have never played before, alongside The Strokes I read the Latitude site and it doesn't mention exclusive which is interesting. Dua Lipa would be good but with that the three headliners aren't very diverse. Has to be a rock act in my opinion that's why I'm going with KoL.

TheHungryMoomin Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Excited for First Aid Kit! I think the next headliner will be female - I'm hoping for Lorde if she releases music by then but if she is I reckon we'll be waiting a while to find out.

The same with Lorde, but the new talent Booker has said that they're a huge Lorde fan so she has to do it soon surely? My greatest issue with Latitude is that the headliners are almost impossible to predict, I'm really interested to see who's in the pipeline for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
