Mad Cool has a ridiculously massive lineup. Latitude is nowhere near it in those terms. They wouldn't sub Latitude.

Ok cheers, I got confused between that and open’er. Possible headliner then I suppose

Well looks like Jack White is over end of June/start of July so I'd say he's in the running for this

Yeah just came here to say it seems more likely than APE now.

Currently thinking 3 from Catfish, Florence, Jack White and CHVRCHES. Every time I say this half of them get ruled out within a week, though.

Guess it will probably end up being BearFur. 

[the wonderwhy]

Catfish, Jack White, Paloma Faith (Crowd karaoke set) is my guess atm

Do you agree with any of it?

What's actually funny here is that the guy from BearFur actually used to use this very forum until quite recently. He quit to focus on the band though.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Is it a prediction or a wish list? 

imo Blossoms, Nils Frahm, Gold Panda, Radiohead (or arcade fire), Nines, and Odesza are unlikely to play in those slots if at all

Mixture. 

Considering at this stage last year, FF and M&S hadn't released any European shows we didn't have a clue they were going to turn up. So this is kinda of a "what's out there atm" line-up crossed with a few artists that match 2017 slots such as Nines/ Dave (admittedly i don't know much about nines other that he's popular atm), LIV/ BOF.

Where do you think Odesza/ Gold Panda / Nils Frahm would play?

Admittedly Gold Panda is big for Sunrise, but it'd be a cracking set.

Radiohead is more wishlist, however they are active in 2018, where else in the UK would they play? BST? 

Considering the bump Melvin gave Blossoms at Leeds last year, and with them having album 2 out by the summer, I don't see why they're that different from previous Friday headliners.

Ok, I didn’t realise Blossoms were to have an album out by the summer, they could be given a bump up.

Nils Frahm has played lunchtime slots on the sunrise recently, once under the Lambert pseudonym. Gold Panda actually played late night sunrise two years ago (on the same album cycle) which is why I wouldn’t think he’ll play this year.

Nines I think is a bit too “aggressive” hip-hop for a latitude main stage, but I’ve only listened to his album a couple of times. Previously when latitude have had main stage rappers they’ve been what people like to call “conscious” rap whereas the likes of AJ Tracey was on in the film and music.

I’d love it if Radiohead were booked but I just don’t see it happening. Not sure they need to play a uk festival unless they want to

Catfish have just announced outdoor shows in Newcastle and Cardiff. Not sure where that leaves them

They're at either end of the summer though, end of May and middle of July if i'm not mistaken.

Certainly puts them in the frame for an active summer.

Yup, but I was more on about whether having their own shows rules them out or not

To be honest, in Newcastle and Cardiff, they couldn't be further away from Latitude!! So I wouldn't imagine it would stop them playing, but may impact whether they'd headline...

But as we've discussed, the obvious options for this festival are dwindling!

Do you think they maybe looking at the likes of Springsteen , Neil Young or Bob ?

That would be, well, amazing....I do get the feeling there will be at least one very big/unexpected name...but as mentioned before, it'll probably be Snow Patrol, Paloma and Catfish.

Yeah you're quite right. They could get away with claiming a festival exclusive as well. 

[finn_with_1_n]

However much I dislike Catfish & the Bottlemen, and the festival in Newcastle they're headlining hardly looks set to be on par with Latitude, if Latitude books Everything Everything, I will put up with C&TB.

That being said, I am firmly in the CHVRCHES camp and would love them to headline on Friday

I'm saying Fleetwood Mac and Bastille are possible headliners for this, actually...

I dont believe Fleetwood MAc Would play the 'tude either. BUT........arnt Glastonbury widely known for being the artists who play a much lower rate? As its mostly for 'charity' and not profit, dont they do this? Dont they also do this with the promise of massive media exposure for artists playing?

Im SURE i read that somewhere.....once.......course, I now am an old man with a young baby who doesnt sleep....
