They're still a fairly good shout for it. At least we now know they're around over the summer.

That'd be fantastic.

[PDAD]

Yeah, true. Maybe Other headliners at Glasto as well with those dates..

Would love to see them, wherever it is.

The Black Keys? I think they'd be a fairly dull booking, but they seem plausible.

Would like to see white lies and mgmt at latitude.

calling black keys dull then wanting white lies

really

Having seen them both I'd call The Black Keys a more boring live experience.

What? White Liea aren't boring live! Seeing them for the 9th time tonight aswell!

[Gucci Piggy]

It is possible to be more boring than a non-boring band...

They've been great twice when I've seen them, but not good at all at Leeds this year.

Are portishead a headliner of a 40k festival? Sell enough tickets?

Hell yes, they would be absolutely perfect for Latitude and would sell loads of tickets, escpecially after their performance this year

their Glasto performance this year was probably the greatest live gig I have ever seen. Perfect in every way, atmosphere, music, great band and exceptional lead singer, and the best visuals I have ever seen at a festival gig. Can't see what could possibly top it

Not sure if it will ever happen, but I for one would buy a ticket on the back of it being announced

Considering this as a Glastonbury alternative/addition so curious as to when the whole shebang will be revealed.

Oops sorry! Definitely as an addition

You going? Or is that line-up dependent?

Yeah, I got my ticket the day I got back from this year, I can safely say it was the best festival I've been to so far. I found Latitude and Glastonbury to be a great balance; Glastonbury is a time for getting completely mashed, not remembering most of it and barely coming out of the gates alive on Monday morning, Latitude is for walking around barefoot, being relaxed as you like (and spending a lot of money on good food and booze) and coming out the gates on Monday with a fully charged set of batteries. I don't think I'll make it a regular thing to do both every year, but it was so great this year I couldn't sign up quickly enough for the next.

[Zoo Music Girl]

It does sound lovely, from what you and Tuna say. Just not sure I can stretch to both. We'll see I guess!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

They're still a fairly good shout for it. At least we now know they're around over the summer.

That'd be fantastic.

The show they're currently touring is Massive Attack vs Adam Curtis, having been to it at MIF earlier this year I can tell you it's anything but fantastic. It's barely a Massive Attack show at all: they don't play any of their own songs bar an unrecognizable cover of Karmacoma, a lot of the vocals are pre-recorded, You hardly get to see them on stage as they're behind screens for the majority of the "performance", they somehow managed to persuade Elizabeth Frazer to make an appearance & what does she do? Whispers on a few dodgy cover versions! It was such a let down, a lot of the crowd were even leaving & complaining about false advertising.

I'm not saying it wasn't an experience to witness, but it's nothing like the brilliant live performances Massive Attack are known for. I also have no idea how it would work at an open air festival, in fact I'm fairly certain that it wouldn't.

Clashing Julian and Portishead.... WHYYY!

In general though really awesome with Julian, Portishead, nmh, savages and metronomy being particular highlights.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

M.I.A is ridiculously low on that line up. She could arguably headline.

[music-fan4]

I'd say sub, or headline the 6music stage?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I dunno. She headlined the Big Chill festival which was roughly the same size as Latitude was it not?

She also rarely performs in the UK either, so there's that as a contributing factor too. I think with a decent sized sub she could headline. (I'm not saying she will.)

[Tobieski]

Fairly sure she headlined Bestival this year? Or was very high up at least

[the wonderwhy]

She headlined the second stage on the thursday

[PDAD]

Wow, my mistake, didn't realise she was of that size! As i said, i know nothing about Lattitude placings

Portishead to play at ATP Iceland July 11th 2014 at Ásbrú, a former NATO base, in Keflavík. This will be their first show in Iceland.

Please, I know it's unlikely, but please...

Portishead Iceland
