rseamer Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 A few decent additions to the line up for me, but not enough to justify the ticket price compared with other festivals as the stuff I like is mainly lower bill acts that I have seen before. The second line up has cemented the fact that I’m not buying a ticket this year. There’s some stuff I like. But not enough. Hope others have a good time though.

Peetle Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Well at least we have Future Islands to escape from Kasabian. I've heard David Dukhovny is attempting to become a musician. Maybe he'll be abducted by aliens. This release has improved things - and a festival lineup is always better in reality than on paper - but Latitude is the Waitrose and Prosecco festival. I slightly regret getting tickets but less than I did before this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 That's a massive improvement for me, I think I prefer last year's but overall its a decent mix of names (and evidently a lot more to come too) It's always a fabulous weekend and has been said, on paper is very different to in reality and once you've done your full listen through on the lineup too it fills out a lot more I'm looking forward to it a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefab Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I do really like the "Waitrose in a field" vibe of Latitude, but there are so many other festivals happening the same weekend, and Latitude is so much more expensive. I know my situation is a little weird, because I'm a solo concertgoer coming from abroad who doesn't want to buy and set up his own tent, but tickets + tent at Latitude would literally cost me 3 times what I'm paying for tickets + lodging at Tramlines that same weekend. And for my tastes, the Tramlines lineup is equally good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km9 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Sorry latitude but that's just not good enough. I'd be tempted at about £150 all in but even that would be pushing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisplowman Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 Yeah first year in a long time I won’t be going. Considering a Friday ticket for Future Islands and Khruangbin but even then I’ll probably see if I can pick up a cheap resale rather than rush now.

DDave Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Middle day is a bit poor but overall it's much better than the Kendal Calling/Truck/Y Not line ups that have come out this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Looking at previous years there are still a couple more slots to fill on the various stages Obelisk Friday: 1 slot, Saturday: 2 slots, Sunday: 1 slot Tent Friday: 2 slots, Saturday: 3 slots, Sunday: 1 slot Plus more from Sunrise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km9 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Any reason why the BBC tent is referred to just as 'second stage'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Filled out well I think, could make a good weekend out of that. As said its definitely better than the copy/paste line ups of Truck/ Y Not etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have ties to the BBC though so who knows Tbh I think more people just call it 'the tent' that its a waste of time giving it a name at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peetle Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Being a bit old and out of touch I always make a playlist of all the bands on the lineup, and quickly delete quite a few of them (Caity Baser lasted about 20 seconds). However this year I've discovered University (terrible name for googling) who are a superb punk/rock outfit and who will probably be in the Alcove on Sunday lunchtime or something. I will be there.

glimmers_of_hope Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Now it has settled in. If I look at the headliners as being Future Islands, Orbital and Lankum then actually I would have a lot of fun. That Friday is good as well as I would see The Vaccines and Waxahatchee, would be worth the money for a day ticket. This will be the first time in a long time that I'll pass on Latitude but that is probably more because we managed to get Glasto tix and our holiday will clash with Latitude now.

Same here, got glastonbury tickets so won't be going to this. If I hadn't got them would still be looking elsewhere though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Tidy enough, but can understand some folk feeling a little underwhelmed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovelanegan Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I'm super underwhelmed but friends are keen and we'll all be taking the kids in a big gang which will be fun regardless. Have an acceptable headliner each night and keen on Mary Wallopers but not a whole lot else... Plenty I'm not familiar with though so, recommend me some good noise folks??

Chapple12345 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Has anyone got any other hopes for acts to be added? I wouldn't expect anything huge but someone like Johnny Marr opening the Obelisk one day would be very cool - there's still a few slots left so they'll probably be slowly released over the next few months like usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapple12345 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Just seen that too, 11am Wouldn't expect anything too big but theyre still missing their now usual 90s Obelisk opener and I did notice The Charlatans are free on the Saturday, anything like that would be great though - I'm excited to see what else is in store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisplowman Posted February 29 Author Report Share Posted February 29 Still nothing to get excited about for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peetle Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Alison Goldfrapp, Frank Turner and Seasick Steve are an improvement. They're improving a festival I'm already going to, I admit the lineup wouldn't be making me wish I was going if I didn't have tickets. Though there are lots of names I don't know so there may be some gems hiding in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmers_of_hope Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 BEAK> are great. Would also be interested in seeing Alison Goldfrapp. I thought her solo album was really good last year. Seasick Steve again lol - I know he only lives up the road but I just don't get the love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Latitude does undiscovered gems the best, having a little listen through of today's acts and it's very much the same for 2024 Also have to say the comedy lineup this year is stacked, they really know how to make a great lineup of comedians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
