as far as i can tell, Bat For Lashes, Editors and Doves were not in any of the official announcements on the site. forum moderator over on the Latitude forums stated that they have not been announced by latitude.

[gregory]

Gossip, Turin Breaks (acoustic) and belle & sebastian (dj set) also confimed according to efests.

[eFestivals]

those names came from our man at the press conference ..... we've yet to speak to him, but he'll have been given those names via the announcement.

[eFestivals]

there might be more to come from him yet too .... he'll phone us as soon as he's able to get out of the room when announcements have finished,.

[darkodan]

if that is the case, just strikes me as a little odd that Latitude wouldnt want to announce that themselves on their website. rather than leave the forums in a state of chaos.

[eFestivals]

PS ..... this'll be easier in the chatroom ----> this way --->> click here

why does it surprise you? It's exactly the same as they did last year.

[sungubala]

My apologies...maybe some more acts are set to be announced!

Like I said, its chaos over there still so someone obviously got a little confused!

My apologies.

[Elfy]

Well, I think the line up looks fabulous - never been to this one before so v excited, Sipperana and I have tickets

Stopp rubbing in your happiness

[SweepingTheNation]

Surely the issue is on the launch evening eFestivals shouldn't be having to draw blood from a stone just to find out some bands who aren't the already leaked headliners?

[latitudefanatic]

what a load of S**T

last years headliners

FRANZ FERDINAND

INTERPOL

SIGUR ROS

this years

GRACE JONES

PET SHOP BOYS

NICK CAVE&THE BAD SEEDS

[Elfy]

Stopp rubbing in your happiness :angry:

Ooops - I didn't realise when I clicked on line up that it was still showing last year's :angry: (should read the thread )

But hey, I'm still excited, probably be more interested in the smaller bands anyway :angry:

.....and the comedy......

[Carpetburn]

Does anyone have a clue who is headlining which night?

It looks from the official site that it's Grace Jones (Fri), PSB (Sat), NC&TBS (Sun), but is that the case? Can't see any confirmation on other websites etc.....

[russycarps]

hmmm I hope doves are on the same day as nick cave. Reckon that'll be worth a day of my time.

Think I'll give a weekend ticket a miss though....

[russycarps]

for those who don't know nick cave...

[Sipperana]

Interesting reading all this having not read anything about Latitude in the run-up to ticket day, going online at 6.50pm and waltzing in to get a ticket.

I'm not too fussed about the headliners anyway - as it will be my first Latitude I will be more interested in exploring and seeing interesting new stuff - and I'm sure there will be the odd few decent sized names to draw my interest.

In answer to the question what other festival would put tickets on sale with minimal information about line-ups, I have only one word.... Glastonbury.

These days, with so many festivals vying for your attention, and with so many bands playing so many of those festivals, I tend to go by *what* the festival has to offer rather than *who* and I've read and heard good things about the whole Latitude experience from people whose opinions I respect. So I'm sure it will be great whoever is playing - personally I'm not arsed about Jones or PSB (or even about the other acts mentioned on this thread as being allegedly confirmed) but would probably give Nick Cave a look.
