Maccabees

Editors

Franz Ferdinand as possible headliners?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I'll go with:

Maccabees

Editors

David Byrne (Or the Flaming Lips)

with Santigold, Frank Ocean, Alt-J, Wu Lyf & Jessie Ware taking places on the line up somewhere.

[Chrisw16]

Everything Everything, Fixers, Peace, Toy, Savages, Lucy Rose, The Cast Of Cheers, Django Django, Of Monsters And Men, Caribou, Band Of Horses (sub?), Animal Collective, Explosions In The Sky, Foals, Tame Impala, Tribes, Temper Trap, Dry The River, Atoms For Peace

I think all could be there.

Lots of great choices there. I agree Editors could well be headlining and also maybe Bloc Party?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I was going to suggest Bloc Party, the only thing that stopped me was the fact that they didn't play any UK festivals last year, so I can see the big ones: Glasto, R&L, T in the Park etc going for them.

If however they'd prefer to headline a festival, then I'd say Latitude or Bestival are the most likely.

Edited October 21, 2012 by Frankly Mr Shankly

[Chrisw16]

I think Bloc Party is quite likely, playing Glastonbury, subbing R&L (again), and then headlining Bestival or Latitude, kinda hope it's Bestival, not my favourite band.

[Chrisw16]

Also do you think XX are too big to headline? Reckon they would be fantastic!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Well the XX only did Bestival 2012 as an exclusive, so I should imagine all the big players will be after them for next year as they're not over exposed.Essentially I guess it's up to festival republic as to where they want them to play though, they could headline Latitude & then headline the nme stage at R&L I guess, as well as an appearance somewhere at Glastonbury.

I can see there being 2 newish headliners & then a more classic act along the lines of David Byrne, Flaming Lips or Morrissey as well, following the bookings of Suede & Paul Weller to close the previous two years.

[Gucci Piggy]

The Vaccines

Franz Ferdinand

Morrissey

[Chinaski_]

Grizzly Bear

Bombay Bicycle Club

Beck/Flaming Lips/Bjork

[Chrisw16]

The Vaccines

Franz Ferdinand

Morrissey

Can't see Vaccines playing Latitude, think they might headline Kendal Calling and be third at V and Glastonbury as well.

Morrissey would be a really good headliner.

[TomMack]

Nomnom The Flaming Lips would be good.

And all this mention of The Maccabees would be good too.

Just as long as the people are cool, and the music is sweet, i'll be there

[Gucci Piggy]

Just seen that Pet Shop Boys are down as a rumour. Where abouts on the lineup would they play?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

as headliner I think.

Where's the info come from? If you don't mind me asking.

I would be pretty pleased with Pet Shop Boys, they were amazing last time I saw them.

[eFestivals]

the info is well sourced, but not solid 100% stuff.

First repeat headliner if true.

[eFestivals]

First repeat headliner if true.

sooner or later just about any festival will have a repeat.

[zahidf]

Yeah, true, just interesting that next year may be their first. They should do a best off version and get Sigur Ros back to headline as well...

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Editors

Jamie XX

Childish Gambino

Kraftwerk

Foals

Alpines

Flaming Lips

Alt-J

Grimes

Perhaps something like this? (Replace Kraftwerk with the Pet Shop Boys if that rumour is true.)

Swap Editors and Pet Shop Boys i'd say!

I think Specials could be in the running as well

The Specials would be amazing!

[Amy Lawn]

Meh about the Pet Shop Boys, I don't have too much interest in them, hopefully Foals can headline the Word Arena against them. Foals are possibly the best live act in Britain at the moment and I fully expect them to be somewhere on the bill.

I'd love to see Morrissey headline, that'd be perfect for me, I also want to join in with saying the Specials would be a fantastic booking. The Flaming Lips were mentioned a few posts back, not really the kind of festival I'd associate them with, but thinking about it now I think they'd do a wonderful job.

BBC Sound of 2013 nominations are up (Iink), Latitude seems to pluck more than a few acts from these award nominations, Mercury Prizers too. I like the sound of that Haim outfit, myself.

[thetime]

Hoping bjork finally does latitude, when dies the lineup get announced?
