mercury Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 anyway we've spent a lot of time thinking about headliners and who might be playing, what about people's wishlists for the undercard? i'd love to see some of the following who are about and i think could be realistic... bill ryder jones super furry animals sleaford mods band of horses the coral ride ryley walker steve mason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Wouldn't know who's likely to be around at the moment. Polica and Robyn would both be very nice. Brian Wilson for Sunday would be fookin perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just seen Sleaford Mods support the Libs I would pass, but think it is definitely a possibility they could be there. I haven't thought about Band of Horses for years, I don't know if they are touring, they seem like a very Latitude band if they are. I'll check out Ryley Walker.

mercury Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 band of horses are doing a few european festivals in june which i why i mentioned them, likewise i've not listened to them much for years but loved the first two albums and could see them really fitting in well at latitude. i love sleaford mods so much, caught them live three times last year and they blew me away every time (norwich waterfront, hyde park bst and cambridge junction). i can see why they wouldnt have worked well in an arena environment with the libertines but i could see them doing a superb early evening 6music tent set at latitude. ryley walker just blew me away at norwich arts centre last year. a beautiful nick drake/tim buckley influenced sound but live he has an amazing jazz band backing him and goes off into all sorts of crazy jams. would be great in the i arena.

Jacko45 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Slaves, Drenge, Superfood, Blossoms, Mystery Jets, Little Comets, Spring King. Would make me happy as undercard acts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna458 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Does the Pixies Brixton date make them more or less likely to headline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts them in the country the week of the festival, looks like they have a festival in Berlin on Sunday 17 so definitely out for the Sunday, probably travelling on Saturday but possible for Friday.

They've added Friday in France. It's only the other end of a ferry route from Dublin so it isn't as far out of the way as that seems, nevertheless I don't think it's happening anymore. Brixton is probably the consolation for no fests. Someone needed to make way for The National in the predictions anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, looking at the gigs they have scheduled now it is almost certainly not going to happen, they will be on their way to Berlin from France. Having seen The Pixies twice & The National twice, selfishly I would take the National. I love The Pixies but The National are one of my favourite current bands.

dirty_dog Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 The National is probably the only must see band I have on my list that I haven't seen before. bit of a late comer to their music, think it was 2011 when the penny dropped.

dentalplan Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The first festival Lana Del Rey has been announced for is Vieilles des Charreux in France over Latitude weekend. Playing Sunday. I know that her headlining was something that'd been chewed over earlier in the thread and forgotten about with lack of shows but this should put her back in the frame.

ValJester Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I haven't really looked through the posts, who are people predicting for Latitude? Have Radiohead been discussed? I'd love; Lana Del Rey Radiohead Morrissey ...never gonna happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 now pixies are seemingly out i'd predict the maccabees, last shadow puppets and the national are looking the most likely trio of headliners. the lana del rey news certainly puts her in the running though. i'm still hoping new order could be in with a shout too and whilst radiohead would obviously be a massive step up in headliner for latitude i wouldn't rule it out due to the thom yorke connection. my preference would be new order, radiohead, the national but i reckon we'll end up with the maccabees, last shadow puppets and the national.

Gazsimmo1980 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Is there anything ruling Hot Chip out as a potential headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 they're available as far as i'm aware however the fact they are headlining bestival makes it unlikely i reckon because as far as i'm aware bestival and latitude have never shared a headliner.

Gazsimmo1980 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I saw the Bestival thing, but think they are headlining the Thursday and I'm not sure where that stands them. just noticed that. Underworld did the Bestival thursday headline last year - another act I would welcome with wide open arms at Latitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think she's headline material, tbh. She's got the name recognition, but she's not exactly renown as a live performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Noel peddling his wares to Y Not and Kendal definitely puts a hole in the theory that Latitude have started shooting for big dog headliners. We wont be getting The Cure or Radiohead just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Radiohead for Kendal 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 yeah at the time i thought noel was a bit of a coup for latitude and seemed like a big step up in headliner size, especially as he was headlining titp in the same year. i find it a bit surprising he's headlining the likes of victorious, y not, kendal etc but fair play to him. it has made titp look a bit weak last year now though.
