Latitude 2024

[Chapple12345]

Lots of activity from FR making the Reading and Leeds announcement tonight, this usually means a Latitude announcement isn't too far away! I reckon by the end of next week 

[glimmers_of_hope]

There isn't usually cross over between Reading/Leeds and Latitude, so I think that makes Liam, Gerry cinnamon and catfish unlikely. Personally I'm breathing a sigh of relief. Fred again has said its his only uk festival so sadly he is out. Would have loved to see him at the obelisk. Don't think lana would have been back for a while anyways.

Gerry Cinnamon would be good, LG would attract the wrong crowd

They both attract the exact same crowd

[Chapple12345]

Couple of announcements due this week, namely Boardmasters which has a very similar range of acts to Latitude 

Also announced today was Lytham Festival

James, Lightning Seeds and Kooks can instantly be ruled out after only playing this year but what are the chances of the others? Madness would be an absolute storm there

Very similar is a push!

[glimmers_of_hope]

I've got the fear now that Hozier will play Latitude. feels like the sort of person who could play 😞

That said, looks like Massive Attack are doing festivals next year. Would love them to headline. Jungle must be in for a shout as well, they did an APE this year I think.

There is definitely a crossover of acts, they have both had the same headliners over the years (Foals, George Ezra, Florence & The Machine, 1975, Chemical Bros, Bastille, ALt J) but I don't think they have had them in the same year (but I can't be bothered to cross check).  There are usually shared names from the undercard though that play both in the same year. I think this year some of the shared acts were - Last Dinner Party, Confidence Man, Yard Act, Warmduscher, Bob Vylan.

Another festival same weekend 

I'd say CMAT is almost a shoo in now, the others are all definite possibilities too 

Also I probably wasn't specific enough earlier and probably should have said there was a bit of crossover, sorry! 🙂

Would be very happy to see Personal Trainer again - they were great fun live.

I think LCD being at APE rules them out of Latitude unfortunately as they have never shared headliners in the same year.  Which is a shame as I think they would be an excellent booking.

Did some digging and came across some Nile Rogers and Chic dates and well... looks like we have our next confirmed act! That's a brilliant booking, they'll be great fun 

Can easily see them subbing Duran Duran

Yeah the date on their website says the Sunday and Duran Duran seem like a good closing headliner, they seemed to make the Sunday in 2023 more of a fun singalong day (James, Bootleg Beatles, Proclaimers) so could see then carrying it on with this 

Can't see it being too long before the next announcement in this case, excited to see what else they have in store for us

Good detective work there 👏

Looks like it'll be this week then

They did the same for taking tickets off sale for R+L so maybe it'll be Friday? I can't think if they've ever announced on a weekend before bar Duran Duran

Why do they take the tickets off sale is it just a marketing ploy ? Or do they go up in price I’m still holding out to see the first line up before I buy tickets.

Yeah I think it's just a cynical attempt to create a sense of urgency.

The implication being that if you wait, then you're not guaranteed of getting one. Though being realistic, unless they pull out something utterly unexpected and huge, you won't struggle.

There will be another release after the announcement, probably a smallish price increase but I'd rather wait it out and know everyone who's on before buying tickets 

[Thommo4]

I hope they have something big waiting for us this week, as Duran Duran and Nile Rogers isn't exactly making me run to ticketmaster 

[Chapple12345]

 

This is about a month after, there isn't usually much crossover but some more names for who's active

I think its all (maybe even more) a push to get people to buy a ticket before the lineup with that urgency

If you like the lineup you'll likely buy one anyway, but i bet people who end up disliking the lineup will also grab one

[glimmers_of_hope]

Someone has pointed out on the glasto forum that the massive attack gig that was announced today will be their "first in the UK for five years" and is in August. I think that and them needing to shift tickets for their own big gig means they can probably be ruled out this year. Which is a shame.

I'm excited to see what they announce. Several acts which I would have been really hyped to see at latitude are now looking like they are ruled out. I do hope it isn't a weak set of headliners this year.  

[Chapple12345]

Anyone else got anymore hopes or predictions? I'm genuinely clueless to the other headliners but my theory currently is: 

Obelisk 

Friday 

Hozier 

Wet Leg

 

Saturday 

Liam Gallagher

Blossoms 

 

Sunday 

Duran Duran

Nile Rodgers and Chic

 

BBC Sounds 

Friday 

Johnny Marr

Saturday 

PJ Harvey

Sunday 

Idles 

Also appearing I could see Arlo Parks, Ash, BC Camplight, CMAT, Declan Mckenna, Echo and the Bunnymen, Gabrielle, Jessie Ware, Jungle, Keane, The Last Dinner Party, The Lathums, Raye, Sigrid, Simple Minds, Softplay, Status Quo, Suede, Texas, Tom Grennan and Tom Odell

I obviously don't expect them all to be there but they seem the right sort of acts who could appear on the lineup 

[Mattcfc1]

It’s not going to be hosier thank god as he is in the us on tour .
