Latitude 2025

Sting didn't look great on the box at Preston for Radio 2 the other day. Friends there in the crowd said it sounded far better in person, but the sound felt a bit undernourished, even if the Police were a power trio back in the day.

 

That original shout at the top of the thread? Biffy Clyro, Lorde and Pet Shop Boys? That would be a stonking affair. Three very good live acts.

It's not that Sting has been touring a poor set at all - it's just I have some severe reservations about that 3.0 lineup, even if it is back to basics.

 

Songs definitely seem slower than before too, which is probably more reflective of his age. He might not look 72, but he does seem to play like a man who isn't quite as fluid as he was back in the day. (And is anybody!)

Doesn't say what day he's on here but I'd imagine there will be more names before rhe end of the year 

 

I've also added IoW as it gives an idea of who else is active next summer

Latitude and IOW trying extra hard to keep troublesome teens and 20-somethings away.

My best bet is he does the Sunday, that seems to be their chilled Radio 2 listener headliner now (Duran Duran, George Ezra, Snow Patrol having done it the last few years) 

Melvin did an interview this morning and seemed to imply the next announcement will be by the end of next month, but I reckon it'll be November time with announcement 2 in January

JT can be discounted as a Latitude headliner I'd have thought as he is playing in Chelmsford a couple of weeks before. 

I think the fact he also didn't confirm it at the same time as all the other 2025 summer European shows including IOW and Lytham also counts against him for this one.

I have absolutely no idea who the other 2 headliners will be next year.

How long ago were Stereophonics? seems like fairly recently but 2019 will be 6 years and George Ezra has been back since.

I don't know whether Fontaines DC could get a bump or whether they are just doing their own thing nest year with Finsbury park.  If they are doing festivals then they could be in with a should as a credible act.

You would think there would be a fairly big (but not massive) pop act but 12 months ago I would have said Charli xcx but she has blown up now so I think she is too big.  But maybe she is only the same size as Lana when she played, Dunno - she seems too hot for Latitude right now TBH.

Bon Iver is releasing new music but haven't seen any tour dates also, he feels like old Latitude rather than current Latitude so I don't think they would get the gig any more.

Sting was announced for Latitude at the same time IOW announced both Sting and Stereophonics so I'd be surprised if they have held that one back (and if they had 2 shared headliners as well).

 

I think Elbow could be in the frame for a return - they're doing their forest tour just before and it will have been 13 years. 

 

Vampire Weekend perhaps? I know they are playing arenas in a couple of months and not sure if they've announced any summer festivals yet but I reckon they'd fit the bill well.

I would love Vampire Weekend and Elbow.  I'm seeing VW in December but they are a great festival band.  If they are doing festivals next year then it could be a good shout.

Love Elbow as well, would be so happy to see them as I've missed them on this album run.  Reckon they could be there in some capacity, not sure whether they are still headliners...but then Keane were this year so, maybe.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
