Latitude 2018

[WMWMOfficial]

Does anyone know when the Latitude line-up will be released? Happened last year at the beginning of March.

[Nuffsaid]

The war on drugs seems a fair shout imo. I would love 'the shires'  and also my current favourite(s)'Anna of the north', getting sigrid back on a bigger stage also a must. 

[swelsbyuk]

The War on Drugs are playing festival dates in the United States on the Latitude weekend so unlikely, if not impossible. 

[WMWMOfficial]

All we can do now is wait and cross our fingers. Good luck people. Hope you get who you want in the line-up. I'll be back on once the line-ups released

[WMWMOfficial]

One more guess I want to get in there though, SUPERORGANISM?

[Hawky]

No Fever Ray.

I can’t remember if I’ve made this prediction/wish before but Bon Iver & James Blake doing their Fall Creek Choir collab thingy would be lovely imo

[Hawky]

LAMB ARE PLAYING BLUEDOT. PLEASE BE IN THE 6MUSIC TENT @ LATITUDE. (Or headline sunrise arena...)

That's Tame Impala ruled out, Citadel exclusive.

First Aid Kit, Flaming Lips and Tune-Yards announced this morning for events the same weekend.

Think that’s the following weekend, Larmer Tree and that Kaleidoscope thing?

[SweepingTheNation]

...bugger, you're right. Well, the latter two might be in Europe for longer than that one weekend and I don't think either are exclusives...

Ben Howard’s live return has been announced. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays a part in Global’s glut of announcements this week.

Thinking on, I think we must be past the days where he’d have been a headliner here so wouldn’t worry.

Ben Howard could comfortably headline Latitude

He was playing to near full arenas the last time he toured and while his second album didn't have any hits, I don't think he's dropped off so much that he wouldn't headline Latitude. Seems like an obvious booking since he's around.

I think he's now a VERY likely contender

A long time ago though. His fans have already moved on to George Ezra and Rag’n’Bone Man since haven’t they? He might be able to but I don’t think it’s as clear cut as you guys do, evidently.

Yeah you could well be right, though that tour was only three years ago. I find it hard to judge since I'm in the minority of liking his second album but not his first, certainly when I saw him on that tour no one was arsed about any of the new songs so I guess that lends itself to the idea of his fans having moved on. I still think he'd headline though, even if he has dropped off a bit I still think he'll be a bigger deal than Fleet Foxes.

[swelsbyuk]

imho Ben Howard is big enough to headline the tent but nowhere near big enough to headline the main stage.

I think it's the fact that people have been waiting 4 years for him to return with new music. If he's an exclusive he'll shift a lot of tickets

I got the impression the second was less well received by the radio 1 crowd, but better by the critics. Definitely think he’s headline worthy, if he wants to play a mix of both (thus annoy most people a bit)

News just in that Jamiroquai will NOT be coming to Latitude, as he is a 'UK Festival Exclusive' at 'Y Not Festival 2018' 

[WMWMOfficial]

Plus some other possibilities from 'Bestival' for 'Latitude', such a Django Django, Sundara Karma, London Grammar and most possibly M.I.A

I'm starting to think this might just be three nights of Snow Patrol 

[Amy Lawn]

Please can Latitude have Ben Howard on an exclusive so Green Man avoids him? Thanks lads
