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

[glimmers_of_hope]

Gah, i need to remind myself to stop getting hyped up with my predictions, with the clues we were given i was expecting:

The xx, Alt - J Co-headlining

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

Bjork

What we will probably get:

White Lies

Paolo Nutini

Van Morrison

sigh

nah won't be as bad as that, I reckon it will be Paolo Nutini though.

I don't think it'll be White lies their last album tanked and been quiet since.

Van the Man is a possible but I don't reckon he quite fits the bill. I think he headlined Green Man either last year or the year before which is quite a bit smaller.

I think most of the past subs have been bigger than she is now but she'd only be one place lower. Doesn't really matter I don't think. Would be a much better booking headlining the 6music stage anyway.

Just to nitpick, she subbed Park Stage last year.

It's 3rd March.

Sorry, I should have checked - she was really good though : )

agree I think 6music stage headliner feels right.

Great - only a month to wait.

[eFestivals]

so is it 03/02 or 03/03 when the lineup is announced?

3/3 is the right date.

[Gucci Piggy]

I thought you guys were talking about the cricketer Luke Wright. Thought it was strange.

Anyway, Portishead subbed by The Cribs, plus St. Vincent and someone else decent on the second stage opposite alt-J and Paolo, please. Reckon The Cribs would more likely be before alt-J, though. Like the TDCC/Editors top 2 last year.

Friday:

alt-J

The Cribs

Saturday:

Portishead

Sunday:

Paolo Nutini

Hozier

St. Vincent

[kaosmark2]

Are you even going will? You know muse won't be playing

[Amy Lawn]

Obelisk:

Alt-J ----------------Paulo Nutini ------------ Portishead

Seasick Steve ------- Hozier -------------------Ride

Sunday lunchtime: Patti Smith

6Music:

St Vincent-----------Todd Terje------TV On The Radio

Thurston Moore----FKA Twigs ----British Sea Power

How likely is that? (Apart from Todd Terje, wishlist, that. If I wish hard enough, it'll happen).

Has all Bjork talk died down? Shame

[dentalplan]

It'll return soon enough when she announces something outside of New York,

Field Day and Latitude didn't share an awful lot last year and I don't know if that was just because they're six weeks apart or a competitive thing. If it is the latter it'd throw doubt on Ride, Patti, FKA Twigs and Todd Terje.

[Gucci Piggy]

Considering it. Got the money for it, don't have Glastonbury tickets, and my friend wants to Latitude, so it's certainly possible.

[adequate8]

does latitude ever sell out? and does anyone know if/when the instalment option ends?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

can't see both Ben Howard and Paolo Nutini headlining. bit samey

maybe in terms of fans but musically that's a bit far-fetched..

[CliffRichardsPissSack]

Really? its hardly saying Will Young is like Black Label Society is it

[Amy Lawn]

Wondering whether to buy Patti Smith tickets, not worth bothering if she's at Latitude.

Neil, if you're passing, heard anything on the grapevine?

[glimmers_of_hope]

It would be nice to see Patti back a Latitude, she was at the first one and so there is a nice link there.

Just noticed Sharon Van Etten is TBC for Glasto, She feels like a great Latitude fit, would love to see her.

Also, just wondering about Beck, I know I've been convinced that Bjork would be the act that they have been trying to get for years, could it be Mr Hansen? Not seen if he is playing the UK this year.

[JunnoBons]

Björk announced for a Czech festival on July 16th. She's getting closer guys

[5co77ie]

I assumed that ruled her out, certainly The National playing their own festival has ruled them out.

[jamesrfisher]

Just under 3 weeks until the official announcement. Neil or Scottie have you not been able to get any more info?

[Amy Lawn]

St Vincent's name has been banded about in here a few times, sadly I think we can exclude her, she's being billed as exclusive to Green Man. Shame if you haven't seen her, because the live show for her S/T album is something else.

[glimmers_of_hope]

Shame about St Vincent, I couldn't see where it was an exclusive but she would have been great at Latitude again. I definately prefered her live show for St Vincent over Strange Mercy.

I hadn't clocked that The National were playing the NOW festival in Cincinnati. I actually wonder if that does make them less likely or not. I thought that they had previously said that the O2 gig was the last gig for a while.

I don't think the National will play TBH but it would be nice. I think when they come back with a new album they will be looking at perhaps Reading stepping up like Arcade Fire did.

[Tuna]

The National drew a tiny crowd at Reading in 2011 (I think?), still very good mind but definitely not a Reading band. Don't really think they'd fit as a headliner anywhere but Glastonbury to be honest, that they haven't already done.

[tillyandthewall]

The Chemicals are at Bestival so I would presume that rules out the Longitude headliner for Latitude.

Yeah, The National would be a terrible headliner for R&L now (not saying they're a bad band but in terms of sales and audience)
