Latitude Festival 2017

[PresentlyTense]

Wow. What a shocking announcement. Not a single band on there that I want to see. Looks like Green Man for the first time for me. And yes, I did just sign up after months of lurking just to say that. That's how disappointed in Latitude I am.

Got it right

If you had the press release why didn't you just say, could've saved me setting my alarm

I saw Placebo had posted they were playing and assumed they were headlining. What an odd booking. 

Mumford v Jack Garrat is a grim choice. 

Placebo vs Mumford would have made much more sense to be honest.

[mercury]

hopefully jack garratt isnt headlinging 6music on saturday night to give a decent alternarive to mumfords.

 

this time last year it looked like kurt vile was headlining 6music based on the poster then soulwax were inserted above him so still hope yet!

 

the more i look at it the more things i find that dont make it an absolute disaster. on top of the acts i mentioned earlier i've always quite fancied seeing goldfrapp and fatboy slim and the likes of mavis staples, mount kimbie and lemon twigs will be decent.

[pryce]

nothing really that makes me want to part with 200 quid

Field day might be the only festival I do this year

 

Placebo yes, Fleet Foxes yes but don't think they should headline, couple of smaller bands

I didn't. It was an educated guess based on talk here and bands tour dates.

It's a solid lineup, depending on FFs new album I suppose. Some good names in there for me, Mount Kimbie and Japanese House are ones not to miss.

That mumfords/jack garratt clash is a bit dull though, latitude always seems to bottle it for a Saturday night

Very good guess then! Fair play.

To be fair his style of music is very different to the Mumfords.

Also looks like it's just the BBC Music stage this year rather than 6 Music?

Yep even more dope stuff there. The headliners become an increasing shame as the rest of it is stacking up.

Relief that the line-up is arse the year I can't go ÷ disappointment a formerly great festival has slid off

[finn_with_1_n]

Look Latitude, I'm not mad, just disappointed...

[mercury]

looking at that nme link im pretty sure jack garrett isnt headlining 6music as he is listed below the likes of ride and lloyle carner

Aye looks like they've abandoned the '6 Music listener' vibe once and for all this year. Should've seen it coming from the moment they booked Noel bloody Gallagher two years ago but still a pity.

The thing on the website makes it sound like the Bbc music stage headliners are Placebo, Ride and Fatboy Slim to be fair.

[Chawk]

I don't understand why they don't just put it all on the poster.

Full line up means there is now 1 act I want to see. Lisa Hannigan. And I saw her for 12 quid a few weeks back. Very dissapointed, usually my favourite line up of the summer.

[Hawky]

Why aren't placebo headlining over Fleet Foxes. WTF! MELVIN, SWAP THEIR SLOTS NOW. PLEASE?

stone roses for sunday sub maybe 

[PresentlyTense]

Placebo would be an equally uninspiring headliner, even if they are a better band. They weren't even big enough to headline in their heyday.

[Gucci Piggy]

That is so bleak lmao.

[finn_with_1_n]

I wonder if this is as a result of hosting that survey. I find it hard to believe that these three were the top 3 voted acts
