latitude 2023

Bar Young Fathers I wonder how much of this lineup could be Latitude bound? 

[glimmers_of_hope]

I hope dry cleaning and black country new road are. Max cooper is also amazing. Someone like Max Richter would work somewhere like the lakeside. 

Personally I think this lineup is really strong. At the moment it looks much better than the confirmed latitude lineup, but hopefully latitude comes good. 

Latitude has had lots of these people before.

Unfortunately pavement are only doing blue dot would love to see them again.

Bicep and bonobo my dream 😂😂🙏🙏

 

when can we expect the next announcement of acts ? 

[Raindow Rhythms]

There is no rhyme or reason to how Latitude makes its announcements. It changes from one year to the next. They have chosen to drip feed it this year, so we could be waiting weeks.

[Chapple12345]

I wouldn't be surprised if we get something in the next few weeks with pay day hitting, at least we have names this time whereas last year we didn't get anything till March

Some stonking names on here! Would love to see a lot of them appear 

Here are some names from Kendal which is the weekend after, Blossoms supported Ezra last year so could be a shout for Sunday?

Men I Trust is playing on Friday.

A couple more festivals announcing their lineups for the same weekend, could give us a couple more ideas of who's on

We haven't had any self confirms recently, I wonder if this means an announcement is due

Bicep would be a post headliner act - no way are they in the tent

Another fest the following weekend with some potential names

Would seem a logical booking. They were very good at the Sunrise Arena in 2019.

[gregory]

Franz Ferdinand / The Swell Season (Glen Hansard / Father John Misty

..all seem to be around that week. Wouldn't mind any of them.

 

Acts are listed by stage on the website now by the way, Saturday is looking pretty full on Obelisk already;

Paolo Nutini
The Kooks
Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott
Lightning Seeds
The Big Moon

Hope they hurry up and put some more names out .

 

murder capital,confidence and something good dance wise bicep 💪 

[Bennykill]

so happy Pulp and Metronomy wont clash.  

 

[Chapple12345]

2nd announcement next week 

[Raindow Rhythms]

The countdown begins ...

[Chapple12345]

What are everyone's hopes/predictions?

I'm guessing Blossoms, Wet Leg and Confidence Man will pop up somewhere. I could also see Cat Burns being added to the Sunday as she's supporting Ezra on a few dates. Could also see a dance and punk based tent headliner added as well

I'm excited to see what they have in store 

[gregory]

Patrick Wolf came up on shuffle earlier, he could fill a Main Stage late afternoon slot.

Cambridge Folk Festival are sharing The Proclaimers, so Rufus Wainwright could also possibly show up as a special guest.

[Chapple12345]

My dream booking would be Nile Rodgers and Chic who are active that weekend, not sure if they'd play lower down but have to be in with a shout

I love how unpredictable this year is, I know there's usually a few curveballs. Also excited for the comedy names as its always one of my favourite parts of the festival  

[Chapple12345]

Double post but more of the lineup coming tomorrow

This is how I've interpreted the day splits stage wise:

Friday:

Obelisk: Pulp, Metronomy

BBC Sounds: TBA

Others: The Beths, The Dinner Party

Saturday:

Obelisk: Paolo Nutini, The Kooks, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott

BBC Sounds: Young Fathers

Others: The Big Moon, Lightning Seeds

Sunday:

Obelisk: George Ezra, TBA

BBC Sounds: Siouxsie, Black Midi

Others: The Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor

I think this is pretty accurate. We've got the day / stage splits for the other artists now so here's a more updated one:

Friday:

Obelisk: Pulp, Metronomy

BBC Sounds: TBA, The Beths

Sunrise: TBA, The Dinner Party

Saturday:

Obelisk: Paolo Nutini, The Kooks, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, The Lightning Seeds, The Big Moon

BBC Sounds: TBA, Young Fathers

Sunday:

Obelisk: George Ezra, TBA, The Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor

BBC Sounds: Siouxsie, Black Midi

I think there's a chance that Young Fathers are going to sub the tent. I wouldn't be that surprised if they were to headline it, but I'm cautiously predicting that we'll have an act above them. I'm sort of 50/50 on it. I've got them as headlining in this prediction, and subbing on the previous one, so I'm kind of calling both sides. They're not as big as some of the tent headliners we've had recently, e.g. last years storming trio of Phoebe Bridgers, Groove Armada and Fontaines DC. But they're bigger than some other ones we've had such as Sons of Kemet and Sleaford Mods, however Sleaford Mods were a last minute replacement for Fontaines in 2021 due to Covid. I guess we'll see tomorrow!

Doing gods work as ever, thank you!

So as a whole Saturday Obelisk is pretty much full but every other stage and day is pretty open. Really excited to see what they have in store for us, I'd really love a few more complete surprises in there like Siousxie. A few festivals the same and following weekend are looking promising so I'm sure it'll be a great weekend 

Anyone else have any last minute hopes/predictions?

[gregory]

No leaks yet, as far as I can tell, maybe in the morning

[Chapple12345]

Still no leaks from what I've seen, I know in the past a few acts have dropped the ball so worth keeping an eye out

Hoping for some fun names added to the mix so let's see who's announced at 11
