Headliners 2015 - Wishes, rumours, my mate knows someone who knows someone that says...

[klipper]

If it is NG instead of portishead that would be truly tragic.

[glimmers_of_hope]

I dunno, the crowd at both the Noel gigs I've been too had a lot of middle aged couples and stuff as well as the more typical Oasis crowd

Do you think he would make a good Latitude headliner? I've not seen him. I'd prefer Portishead but I could definately see it working.

He'd get a decent crowd and the punters would love the oasis songs, but it'd lack the magic that beth, geoff and co are going to bring on saturday night at the Obelisk, and for that reason I refuse to let myself believe noel and his high flying birds are headlining.

If they are though and there are no great acts this year that I really want to see (a la portishead) then I might not get a ticket, cos y'know money and shit.

I think Portishead would be a better fit for the festival but if Paul Weller can headline then I don't see any reason why Noel can't.

[dentalplan]

Noel, alt-j & Paolo Nutini would be the best possible booking for both Latitude and Green Man.

Not a headliner but a tasty morsel.

Sun Kil Moon self confirmation.

Very tasty indeed - Thank you dentalplan. That has made my day, Benji was one of my favourite albums last year. Don't know where he will fit in the lineup.

This is making me feel better about the Noel rumours

[Amy Lawn]

We have our very first music confirmation! Thank God, I was dying of thirst.

Excellent work, Dental.

[klipper]

Portishead next... please

[Gazsimmo1980]

Why would it have to be Noel OR Portishead? Both are down as SR aren't they? Surely room for both as headliners, there are three nights available.

Melvin Benn said the three headliners are:

- An act they've been after for ages

- An act that's worked their way up the bill

- A returning headliner

Both Noel and Portishead would only fit the first one.

Although Melvin also said one of the Reading headliners had a top 10 album in the last year, which was complete bullshit.

[Gazsimmo1980]

I heard that Melvin said that about the headliners but that was ages ago, possibly he was talking of his intentions before the headliners were actually booked maybe? I don't know.

Looking forward to finding out Tuesday though. Best thing about my festival line ups being announced is making a good Spotify playlist and discovering new bands to fall in love with.

[Gazsimmo1980]

Was thinking about this quote from Melvin the other day regarding headliners, particularly the act who has made its way up the line up to now emerge as headliner. Think I will start a thread...

eeek the more i think about the first one the more i think its Noel. You could imagine they were after him to do the Joanna Newsom thing but probably declined as he was too busy with "best fookin band in the werrrlldd" Latitude also likes it brit pop associates ala Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker, Suede. Where as Portishead have done quite a few festivals since Third and i doubt they would of been that hard to book?

so...how does Sam Smith, Noel and Florence sound to everyone?

NO.

[Gazsimmo1980]

I first thought Noel, being a T in the Park headliner, too big for Latitude, but there's not many English festivals left to announce that he could headline. Maybe Melvin offered him a Leeds headline slot next year or something?

I had kind of hoped that the 'act they've been after' would be The Cure, but that doesn't seem to be on the cards unfortunately.

[CliffRichardsPissSack]

NO.

Search your feelings..you know it to be true

Luckily enough i am probably the single worst predictor of festival headliners ever, hopefully ill stay true to form and the end result will be nothing resembling that

I was thinking he would be a shoe in to headline v, having played second from top there a few years ago and its got more of a boner for brit pop acts than even latitude. I also see hes headlining Calling festival this year. Stranger things have happened, But T, V, Latitude and Calling? Good time to be Noel Gallaghers bank account, not bad for someone who has not released anything all that good in 20 years.

yer NG would be great, I love Oasis now they are a timeless band .

I think headliners could be

NG, Alt-J and ben Howard. What with his new album out and all.

That would be an amazing line up

As a radio 6 headliner I would LOVE : Fuse ODG ! and gorgon city !

Plus I would love to see:

Years and years, Amber Run, King Charles, Augustines and bears den.

DJ's:

Blonde, Artful dodger, wise and oddsey.

They're a trip hop band

[swooddow]

[ClemFandango97]

I've not listened to them too much to be honest, I'm just aware of who they are really but there will be enough users on here that can tell all you need to know
