Completely disagree. This is my first Latitude since 2013 and is much more how the Festival used to be.

David Byrne is one of the biggest names the Festival has ever got IMO and is a bona fide legend.

Must admit I’m spending most of my time away from the main stage especially Saturday and Sunday. The second, sunrise and alcove all have some acts I’m really looking forward to seeing.

I love a bit of Indie landfill as much as anyone but if that’s your main bag, perhaps you need to be looking at the Superstruct (Victorious, Tramlines etc.) instead. 

 

Same as me, although we've been every year since the second one (purely as it's just down the road).  This year's line up is at least a bit more like Latitudes of yore - I'll be enjoying more than usual vs. the last 5 or so years, where it's been veering towards an 80s-fest.

Im definitely more in the camp of feeling this edition feels a lot more old school Latitude than before but equally agree theres not many big name acts/dance acts that make the lineup fully stand out. Saying that this is probably my favourite range of acts we've had since 2023

I can only assume they've gone down the route of shifting day tickets rather than weekend.

This actually seems the case across a lot of Festival Republic events this year, especially Reading and Leeds - I guess a lot of places understand money is tight nowadays so people may prefer to do days instead. I wonder if next year they start doing 2 day tickets options as well

I understand your point about being more like the Latitude of old in terms on lineup but the demographic has certainly changed since then. We've been going for the past 7 years and due to the size of our group, we mostly float between the two main stages. The point I'm trying to make, is that the best atmosphere since I've been going was with the artists I mentioned. When they built up the 20th Anniversary celebrations is being a big party, Teddy Swims and Lewis Capaldi doesn't hit the spot (for us anyway). Hope you have a great time

I don't mind the absence of big name bands but it does seem a bit odd that there isn't a legacy dance act, in the past few years they've had Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Basment Jaxx and Fatboy Slim. Someone like Faithless or Moby would have fit the bill and are both in the UK at the time of the festival. 

I agree, that bigger dance name does seem to be missing - usually there’s a late night announcement though with bigger names (it’s just the Disco Shed atm) so would wait for that. 
 

For me the Saturday still looks quite flat on the main stage, mainly because I don’t know who Teddy Swims is.

 

The weirdest thing for me is trying to work out what all the ‘most impactful person of the past 20 years’ posts are about. Doesn’t seem like they’re inviting any of those people, and it’s getting no engagement, so why keep flogging it?

I thought this the other day, they do love some pretentious nonsense though 

 

They keep pushing the usual 'final tickets' spiel so I'm gonna be really interested to see how busy it is in the end 

 

Im currently working through my playlist to work out my must sees, dependents and not as fussed acts but its shaping up to be a good but busy weekend for me

 Just hoping I can survive another weekend drinking Carlsberg which I detest.

Tell me more. Last Latitude we went to was '21 - my son was young & had a wagon so we snuck good beers in that way. I remember there being some Brooklyn IPA on sale which was tolerable - are you saying they don't sell anything other than Carlsberg now?! 😳

It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent

Wilderness are offering 2 day tickets this year (Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun).

Kronenberg in a tent as well IIRC but Brooklyn Pilsner was easier to get without queueing and was everywhere across the festival.

My best new finds are Solya, Panic Shack and Florence Road, but theres plenty more I could suggest depending on what you're into?

Yeah I did wonder because there's probably a crossover between people who like Teddy and Lewis, but I guess if you get 2 days you may as well get a weekend

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
