And a lot of them are being sold by people living close to the festival, so I'm guessing you could probably arrange to pick it up from their house Good luck! Thank you so much , hadn’t even considered gumtree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killers headlining (who've played pretty much everywhere this year already) and Solange and Alt J (poor imo). Most of the other acts aren't massive attention grabbers either for my tastes. Not when in 2016 it was The National, New Order, M83, Daughter, Father John Misty, Mo, Oh Wonder, Maccabees. Last year even, Fleet Foxes, Glass Animals, The Horrors, The Radio Dept, Mount Kimbie, Placebo, Ride, Goldfrapp, Sohn. I really wished this year pulled it out the back but sadly not for my tastes. Hope everyone has a blast though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James have to be a lot bigger in this country than the younger Knowles. Though I'm not sure how they could've arranged the bill to add to Solange's crowd - it was a strange booking from the off, as good as she is.

Amy Lawn Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Props to Latitude for putting Solange in the top slot, small crowd or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Can't see a lot of tweets about the set either, though what there is was enthusiastic. But then I really don't think James are a Latitude 2018 headline band. Looking at the line-up, I wonder (admittedly not knowing about availability) if Alt-J could have headlined with Solange as sub, have Belle & Sebastian sub the Killers and have the Vaccines as Sunday headliners?

Tbf are we really high-fiving each other if Wolf Alice headlined? I don't right know about your saying props to Latitude for having her headline. On one hand: yeah she's a great artist and it's good to diversify the pool of headline acts across the board. But it's not like Glastonbury or R+L where it might be a platform for something and the uninitiated would have to pay attention;, it's just her performing to a small crowd in Suffolk and perhaps all it shows is that she's not as great a pull as Ben Kingsley and the lads at these places. A tree falling in the woods, so to speak. Just so it's clear to everyone, when I said up the page about the tweeter being right, I meant more about the comparative popularity of the two acts rather than James being a Latitude headline act. That would be godawful. Edited July 15, 2018 by dentalplan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodOldDays Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Solange was great. Small crowd but the crowd were great and appreciative. The whole 'her headlining is bullshit' talk is boring, if you're that offended by who is headlining a festival then you need to reassess your priorities really, no one is forcing you to buy a ticket or go and watch that headliner ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Interesting how people are making a point of downvoting both pro-Solange and anti-Solange replies. I take the whiteboy indie complaint (it was quite late, I was looking at the line-up trying to work some way round) but for all that Solange is and has achieved I said back before the announcement when it was a rumour that I didn't think she was going to pull people in as a headliner, and I think there was some agreement just because of how much talk there was about whether her sister would be able to make a cameo rather than whether she could pull it off herself. That was based on her being second stage headliner at the smaller Lovebox last year and not releasing anything since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
