mercury Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 this is such a huge disappointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) So what happened with all those people who were in the know for a couple of months about Sonic Youth and Bloc Party headlining? (Suppose Bloc Party could get away with playing before Nick Cave, but there's no way Sonic Youth could play the Arena without it collapsing or causing a fire hazard) Edited March 21, 2009 by SweepingTheNation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davness Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Sonic Youth aren't as big nowaday as they have been, it probably wouldn't be any busier than it was for Blondie last year, probably about the same. They'd have to headline it though, have no idea why Blondie didn't last year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungubala Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Morning I have May's Uncut magazine in front of me..... It says the headliners will be Nick Cave and the bad seeds, Grace Jones and the pet shop boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jookie Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well, sungabala? Are those smilies suggesting these aren't the actual headliners? Please god say they're not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davness Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Or at least two of them aren't anyway. Will be gutted if its not Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, but the other two.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jookie Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Or at least two of them aren't anyway. Will be gutted if its not Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, but the other two.... The other two are just Pet Shop Boys fair enough but Grace Jones? She could easily play under Pet Shop Boys or as Uncut headliner or even in Blondie's place from last year. Headliner though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungubala Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well, sungabala? Are those smilies suggesting these aren't the actual headliners? Please god say they're not... Let's just say I'm suprised at Uncut magaine. Draw your own conclusions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sungubala Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's true...bollocks http://twitpic.com/2b5v2 Like I said I was surpised at Uncut. Im not gonna confirm what I know (which in fairness could be wrong) but that list doesnt surprise me at all. If you catch my drift...

So in other words you're just surprised at Uncut because they've released the line-up early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungubala Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 So in other words you're just surprised at Uncut because they've released the line-up early? That's one conclusion The other is that Im surprised at a reputable magazine for making up an incorrect lineup. Make your own mind up I could keep you lot going all year if the lineup wasnt being released officially on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragKnuckles Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Please remember that Latitude is not all about the headliners...last year only Sigur Ros were worth seeing...Franz Ferdinand are awful and Interpol have only 2 good songs...I suggest checking the lower billings before saying "yay" or "nay" to going...remember the gems of last year that included a certain Joanna Newsom, Kyte on the Lake Stage and Magistrates? Highlights of the weekend by far. Anyway...saying that...i'm not going :lol: (Still can't believe Grace Jones is even there! Someone somwhere must be having a laugh!)

fullcollapse Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Nick Cave is possibly the best announcement ever, what a terrific performance that will be. Does anyone know if Latitude is likely to sell out very quickly or if I might have a week or 2 to persuade my girlfriend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denip Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Please remember that Latitude is not all about the headliners... This is so true. Latitude is all about finding the gems on the smaller stages. I think I saw only 3 or 4 bands on the main stage last year and went home very happy!

radiohea_d Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 If Grace Jones and the Pet Shop Boys are true, then I will be seriously pissed off. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds would be brilliant though. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Steel Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 If Grace Jones and the Pet Shop Boys are true, then I will be seriously pissed off. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds would be brilliant though. I really don't get the anti-Pet Shop Boys feeling on this thread. Each to their own, but I think they put on an amazing show full of brilliant songs that pretty much everyone at the festival will recognise. Then again I thought Franz Ferdinand were brilliant last year - so what do I know Really happy about Nick Cave, and if Grace Jones really is headlining (which I do find very hard to believe) then I happy because it means I won't be tied to the Obelisk for 3 nights running. I don't think I have ever seen more than 1 main stage headliner at any festival I have been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 That's one conclusion The other is that Im surprised at a reputable magazine for making up an incorrect lineup.

It'd be awful if you're just someone winding us up... its a wind up, the headliners have been leaked early and sungubula is just winding us up. If I am wrong then I will be the first to apologise but dont think I am. If I am wrong sungbula I'll buy you a drink at the festival if you come and say hello, i'll be the one drumming on the main stage with my band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 the sungubala thing is just getting annoying now. surely you can confirm if what uncut magazine says is what you have heard or not. you're not going to get in trouble from anyone for that. you're just being a pain in the arse on purpose!
