Latitude 2014

[glasto-worker]

Never seen any Oakham but I believe some of Heckors beers are made 'under license' at Green Jack for the festival, as his small microbrewery would not cope for 35000 people at Latitude!

Did see Hobgoblin last year and one year Adnams Bitter was on at one bar on a Sunday...but definitely not Oakham

would you like to make a bet ?

shot taken at Latitude 17 July 2010 { timestamp has time and date }

speak to Hektor as he will know what percentage is not made at his place.

as far I recall Hobgoblin was a Sponsor last year but don't have a clue if they will be a sponsor this year.

so black keys also playing glasot, wonder if this could affect latitude ticket sales? anyone heard any more whispers about special guests?

Probably won't affect sales as people can't buy glasto tickets anymore, and so wouldn't buy them for the black keys...

[Amy Lawn]

Anybody just buying a ticket for Black Keys can shit off anyway.

They have two of Hektor's ales at R&L (or they certainly did, I didn't go last year). It's OK, although I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the good stuff for Latitude.

If you mean Reading 2012 I know that Heckor and his team was working in that bar { near the BBC tent } and all the kegs came down with him - here is a rough map of its location.

it was in the same place in 2013 and likely to be there again in 2014.

so I suspect it would taste the same at Latitude

still painting? ;p

[neil999]

more acts announced tomorrow, hopefully be some nice surprises..certainly looks like main stage on sunday will have more acts

[Gucci Piggy]

The gap below HAIM isn't where the special guests will be, is it? Chance of a decent sized act still to be added there? Allowed to blindly and unrealistically hope for Julian Casablancas? Cool.

[dentalplan]

Are the special guests this year in addition to the usual Sunday afternoon slot? Won't be will it?

[Gucci Piggy]

Nah I assumed it's just the standard Sunday afternoon slot but that this year's can't be announced until the weekend.

[Gnomicide]

I've got some serious research to do before this festival.

Of the many new acts announced today I've heard of Simon Amstell, Beardyman, Mark Watson and Robin Ince.

Then again I may just wander around and see what I happen accross.

[neil999]

ha! nothing new for main stage

[Amy Lawn]

Nah I assumed it's just the standard Sunday afternoon slot but that this year's can't be announced until the weekend.

But WHY?

[Gucci Piggy]

But WHY?

I assume due to other shows or something?

[tillyandthewall]

Maybe a certain ginger man who would want to do a local show, but management's fee was too high, and a compromise agreed?

[neil999]

glasto line up out, shares alot of latitude acts(realise this is because alot of these acts are doing the circuit) but am hoping the special guest is one of - pixies,jack white or...dolly?! prob being too optimistic tho and it will be ed 'git' sheeran

hmmm

[Amy Lawn]

The Latituide line-up is a thing of beauty right now, but if they bring Ed Sheeran into the mix I will kick off.

[neil999]

Just watching blur at Glasto...tender would be great at latitude, I know I know it's not a blur gig! Still tho...

Does he play any Blur songs or just solo stuff?

Setlist's seem to be a bit more Gorillaz/solo stuff based atm http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/damon-albarn/2014/the-fader-fort-austin-tx-53c2cb1d.html

However, I imagine he'll bring out a few Blur hits for the latitude set, probably The Universal and Tender

[dentalplan]

I can see him playing All Your Life and one other. I reckon those hoping for an array of Blur favourites will end up disappointed - unless they like the rest of his stuff, of course.

Yeah, I thing he's gonna put on a great show either way, would love to see Tender live though and it seems pretty likely there'll be a decent collection of Gorillaz hits, De La Soul are at Kendal Calling around the time of the festival so hopefully they'll pop up for Feel Good Inc.

[neil999]

Be a great encore...

Hi all,

Thinking of doing Latitude again this year but not been for a few. When abouts (if at all) does it usually sell out? Looking at weekend tickets but got to save some money first!

Don't think it sold out last year, or was very late if it did.
