Latitude 2014

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

thats what i said earlier, but was slapped down for this..

Actually what I said was that he has a wealth of material to draw from & that whilst I'm sure he'll do a few Blur songs (Tender, To the End, No Distance Left to Run etc) I highly doubt he'll do the upbeat "hits" like Parklife, Song 2, Boys & Girls etc.

I think Damon just said to Lamacq that he'd be using one of the tracks he wrote for Womack in his set. Can't see there being more than two Blur tracks if he's representing such a wide back catalogue of stuff.

Quite right as well, he's got such a body of work he doesn't need to do a Noel Gallagher.

I agree.

If you just want Blur, go & see Blur.

[neil999]

I agree.

Be interesting to see if he reworks any blur songs, if the albums good then I will deffo see him, but obviously depends who's on other stages at same time

[Tobieski]

Reckon we could see Afghan Whigs play this year? They have an album out this year

[the wonderwhy]

Bombay Bicycle Club subbing then?

[mrtourette]

Surprising, I thought they'd be headlining.

[DomDom1984]

The festivals in 2012 seemed determined to convince us that Bombay Bicycle Club were bigger than they actually are. No way are they headliners. Even for a minor festival.

[dentalplan]

I think you're right there Dom, they followed up playing third down at R+L in 2012 with playing third down at Rock Ness and Bestival last year. Probably safe to say FR jumped the gun in 2012.

Another pretty crap announcement for me. H&O would be fun, and Slowdive should be great, but Bombay is just adding to the run of the mill indie pop thing they're doing this year.

[mrtourette]

May well be true, although they did seem to have very large crowds at Reading in 2011 and 2012.

[cdm22]

Damon Albarn aside there is very little pulling me towards getting a ticket this year so far (admittedly not knowing half of the acts on the latest line-up poster probably doesn't help!)

[Tuna]

The lineup's okay, but there's nobody that's really got any big pull factor (assuming Damon plays elsewhere, which he probably will). Lots of very run of the mill festival bands that are fine, but you can see all the time (apart from Slowdive, of course!)

[Gucci Piggy]

Bombay are playing 4th down at that 6music festival, as well, aren't they?

I think Sunday will be The Black Keys subbed by Tame Impala (unless they're confirmed for another day?). Seems a good fit to me.

The placings at the 6music festival won't have much of a science to it. I think HAIM are playing before Midlake, which wouldn't happen normally I don't think. They could sub TBK but I don't think it's any different to them subbing any other act.

Something like this possible?

Two Door Cinema Club

Tame Impala

HAIM

Halle & Oates

Slowdive

The Notwist

Damon Albarn

White Lies

Robyn + Royksopp

Warpaint

Metronomy

Chromeo

The Black Keys

Bombay Bicycle Club

The Hold Steady

Billy Bragg

Janelle Monae

Caribou

Well yeah they could sub anyone, but they both share a bit of a bluesy style. I think Bombay into TDCC and Tame Impala into The Black Keys is more likely than what you have above.

Yeah that all looks possible. I think Julian Casablancas may headline the second stage, though. I was thinking Röyksopp and Robyn would headline second stage, but I have no idea about them really.

Oh right. I wouldn't consider them bluesy, personally. I don't really think it matters much about coupling acts together by subgenre or whatever, I just threw them on there.

Chromeo

Electropop heaven.

You reckless baroness, you.

[DJL]

Yeah, each to their own but i cannot stand the line-up so far. I'd be excited by royksopp & robin as well as hall & oates but that's about it. If we get black keys, white lies, chromeo and metronomy i'll be slightly happier but at this stage i'll be giving it a miss despite the fact all of my friends are going.

[Amy Lawn]

Good God this line-up is getting shitter by the day, damn me buying a ticket before acts were announced.

[klipper]

Ben Howard headlining the somersault festival on the same weekend as Latitude, personally I think he'll probably wait another year or two and come back to headline, but I guess this news means he is (sadly) in the running as the 3rd sub (presuming BBC/Tame Impala are both subbing)

[DomDom1984]

Incase you missed it, efests suggested that The Black Keys will be headlining.

In the Glasto forum?

Personally can't see that, would think they're a bit big, but fair enough if they have the info

Yeah would of thought so too, they're a rumour on the line-up page as well. Would be a decent headliner, more exciting than Two Door at least.
