Splendour announcement in the morning. Looking quite likely it might be Paloma Faith announced, which would rule out another headliner for Latitude probably

I still don't think it will be her. She's only performing at the arena in March which took a while to sell out. Why have her in the same city only a few months later?

Paloma Faith is playing every spare bit of grass in the UK, think you can rule her out.

Snow Patrol - Wildness, new album out 25th May 2018.

Better start memorising those lyrics to Chasing Cars, your 2018 headliners await

[MT21]

The Gaslight Anthem?

Do we think Lana is a possibility for this? Not the biggest fan of her new album but she does have some great songs IMO

[WMWMOfficial]

I know I've been going on about this one for ages, but alt-J are still a possibility! Obviously not for the Friday or Saturday, but they haven't got anything planned for the Sunday (yet) and no other festivals or concerts for them start until the 27th of July. No matter what anyone says, I still have a gut feeling something will happen with these legends and Latitude 2018. IF not, then definitely 2019!

[Music lover William]

Possible curveball here but Chic and Nile Rodgers are in the UK week before Latitude, I think they could be great fun if playing.

I think you could be right, their 3rd album was fairly disappointing so has probably ruined any chance of moving up the Reading billing to co-headliners, but they'd still be a good draw as a latitude headliner

Do you a think a Festival, that has only had one repeat headliner since inception, would drag up a headliner from 2015 to headline again, even though Alt J stock has massively declined in the last year or So?

I can't see I personally, I think Alt J are far more likely for day festivals / city festivals/ Tramlines etc

Oh not gonna lie I completely forgot they played in 2015. Ignore what I said.

[tillyandthewall]

Christine and the Queens should be back with a new album this year.  They should get a high billing if playing.

They played back when the 59 sound was still fresh, not sure that they’d get booked bc they'd possibly demand a high fee/billing for the anniversary shows. Think they might be more likely for 2000 trees

Saw them at Glastonbury last year and they were fantastic 

[FloorFiller]

Now that they're seemingly not playing Parklife, Gorillaz looking likely for this again?

I don’t think so but if playing Boomtown wasn’t ruling them out I don’t suppose Parklife would’ve either.

[evannn]

I think Gorillaz would have been more likely if they were also doing Parklife, because it would’ve meant their exclusive tag for boomtown was rubbish. As it stands, still assuming it means exclusive 

[WMWMOfficial]

I think it is very likely for Nick Mulvey and Django Django to attend Latitude 2018. Nick Mulvey's 'Wake Up Now' was released in 2017, and Django Django released 'Marble Skies' the Friday just gone, I think without a doubt they will be on either 'The Lake Stage' or the 'BBC Radio 6 Music Stage'. MAYBE, at a push, 'The Main Stage'. Rightfully, they should be with such good music!

[WMWMOfficial]

The BBC just released their Biggest Weekend 2018 Lineup, and acts like Beck, Manic Street Preachers, Public Service Broadcasting and other amazing acts tba! I reckon some of these could be took into consideration.

[dentalplan]

So has Parklife knocked another headliner out by having Chvrches third down its main stage?
