Latitude 2022

[Miyn]

Someone on the Glasto forums said that she's apparently releasing a single on Wednesday 23rd. If they've got her they'll probably announce as the hype around the new single builds and releases. Not sure why European festivals have been able to announce her if that's the case though.

The only way that I could ever see Glastonbury announcing before latitude is if a few big acts dabbed down late on. They’ve been weirdly quiet.

[Matt42]

I still think The War on Drugs

Maybe some exclusivity agreement, especially if she's gonna be the big headliner. I seem to remember something similar with High as Hope where she was announced EU dates and then announced the single and album and then had the UK dates drop then too. I think she's pretty much nailed on now and I'd be over the moon if she was there

I want nothing more than flo under the moon doing her thing! Fingers crossed!!

Some final guesses (based on some of you guys above & who seems to be possible);

OBELISK

Jack White / Lewis Capaldi / Florence & The Machine or Little Simz
Charli XCX / The War on Drugs / Michael Kiwanuka
The Zutons / Local Natives / Self Esteem
Special afternoon slot: David Gray

TENT

Phoebe Bridgers / The Cribs or Fontains DC / The Charlatans

They still only seem to be around for a week or so going by their dates so far but Lewis Capaldi, Florence and the Machine and The War on Drugs does seem like a very Latitude trio.

Yeah I think a lot of these will probably appear, maybe a little less sure about the American acts in there though as its being held at a later date than it usually is. The trio of headliners is pretty likely though and I'd be happy with it 

[harryy]

 

 

Another week! At least we know! Have lowered the expectations now just as it has taken so long and Latitude is not unknown to throw some interesting curveballs that this forum don't take too kindly too (lol)

 

[gfa]

Probably can all be ruled out

[Miyn]

Aren't tickets already on sale?

Presumably they'll be taken off sale at some point before next week in order to allow for a post announcement "launch" - possibly at a higher price (given that the acts are known). Can't remember if Latitude have done that before, but it's not unprecedented.

Yeah. It's usually a few quid more, but I don't trust Latitude enough to buy tickets before the lineup. Just think it's a bit silly announcing that they're going on sale when they're already on sale.

[Chapple12345]

We never buy in advance but always keep the weekend open, very glad we have an announcement date though 

Now, just to guess who will be there

[Miyn]

My one hope this year is that the poster has stage and day splits, like 2019's poster. It was really annoying getting excited for some acts, not knowing what day or how high up on the stage they were going to play, so could only work out clashes about a week before the festival.

Would Sigur Ros still be considered a headliner here? Could be a wildcard

Instinct says not likely - as of just how mainstream the last sets of headliners have been and how its morphed from what type of acts we'd get in the mid 2010s... 

 

But then again... latitude love a rogue booking 😕

I think they could be a tent headliner, or a post headliner thing like Underworld. I don't think they're big enough to headline the Obelisk though.

[Chapple12345]

Same weekend so some potentials to appear

Yeah I agree, even though I go whole weekend it's annoying only finding out quite late what days people are on bar the headliners, especially last year when it was only a month beforehand

Modest Mouse are playing. Confirmed tour date on 22 July via their mailing list.

Have you got a screenshot or something? Not sure where they'd play though.

She's back with a vengeance, absolutely love it. I really really hope she's headlining

Tent headliner maybe? They seemed to have more mainstream stuff on the Obelisk last year with the more 6 music friendly stuff in the tent so that makes more sense

David Gray is in the u.s during Latitude. Just saying.

[Chapple12345]

Are we even sure if Capaldi is still playing? There's been 0 mention of him since he initially postponed his dates, even on the websites lineup page. Snow Patrol and First Aid Kit were quietly dropped last year with no mention before the first announcement so could he not be appearing and they're just hoping no one has noticed?
