chrisplowman Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Would love to see HAIM finally headline after they were going to in 2020. Bloc Party, Japanese House, Sigur Ros, Courtney Barnett, Ben Folds, Feist, Daughter, Black Country New Road. As starters for ten, all with recentish or upcoming releases to be there at some level.

Chapple12345 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Seems to be some confusion on when it's actually being held. Ticketmaster say it's 18th-21st July but the website says 25th-28th but I guess the website is more likely to be accurate In terms of acts I think Haim are a good shout, also think Wet Leg could be in with a shout too. My dream headliner again would be Florence and the Machine but I'm not sure if she'll be active next year. There are rumours Gorillaz have a new album out soon and they'd be a great headliner I've seen a few reports of Liam Gallagher touring doing Definitely Maybe in full for its 30th anniversary, I wonder if he could be a shout as he usually headlines all the festivals when he's doing the rounds/was supposed to play 2020 Edited July 26, 2023 by Chapple12345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak_khanna Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Rex Orange County, Haim, Gorillaz, hoping for inhaler, easy life, sports team and blossoms to be around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattcfc Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 I think at least one of these will headline one day. Bombay bicycle club Ben Howard the national I think Bombay are strong possibility. id live to see someone like pixies headline would be awesome but I think the vibe is geared towards George Ezra, Ed Sheeran, 1975 rubbish these days 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattcfc Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 The slight issue with ben Howard is he is so far up his own arse these days he plan out refuses to play anything from his first album 🤣 still incredible live but hasn’t gone down well with a lot of fans looking at gig reviews and seeing him royal Albert hall earlier this year … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports team headlining the tent would be absolute madness. Could see a blossoms x Rick astley smiths headline set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a storming stage opener like they had with James this year, a really fun way to start the final day - I agree also Rex is a bit of a risk but from what I can see the case was dropped against him, I don't know if there's any music being released by him soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattcfc Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 I’d love to see phoenix headline but not sure if they are too big they were so good at Glastonbury and have headlined US/European festivals in the past few years. when are the headliners normally released is it just before Christmas?

Chapple12345 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Dates confirmed as 25th-28th July! Guess that probably means more British/European based acts this time - it does lead into my birthday week now so that's a personal plus for me 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to piss on your chips, but Latitude will not be booking Phoenix as a headline act next year. Just look back at the recent headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattcfc Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 I know wishful thinking just change bbc sounds stage back to “the 6 music tent “ and then they can stick what ever rubbish on the MainStage and I can stay in the tent all weekend 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 I guess this is a more a pipe dream but is there any chance of Depeche Mode playing? They're continuing their tour into next year and did Isle of Wight relatively recently which is a similar size? I know it's unlikely but they'd be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glimmers_of_hope Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Lots of possibles from previous headliners and acts Florence, the national, bon iver, chemical brothers. Ben Howard would be possible, I don't think it would go down very well but feels about the right size. I'd love Gorillaz and it isn't impossible, just feels a stretch. Christine and the queen's seem to have dipped a bit in size even if they are still putting on fantastic shows. I think Liam is too big now, probably more like noel territory. Don't know its Sam fender is too big as well, feels like he is. If someone like the xx were to reform they would be perfect. No indication of that at the moment. Fred again... would be a popular choice I think as well if he is still touring. Thing is there will be at least 1 really pop act and probably 2. I'm just not good at predicting who they would be, lizzo feels too big. I like the speculating. Becomes a bit clearer when albums and tours start shaping up. In the nicest possible way I'm always erring on the side of latitude not having very good headliners for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glimmers_of_hope Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Some very good names on that list. Would love nick cave to come back. Don't know how I feel about Arcade Fire after the whole thing last year, still makes me feel a bit grossed out. I think they have just played on though so they will be back on the uk at some point.

Peetle Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think Depeche Mode are too big for Latitude - they're a Glastonbury headliner for sure, especially as they're touring a new album next year. The Cure appeared on that survey. They would be an awesome choice for the oldie headliner. Just got our tickets for next year where I'll be celebrating a significant birthday, though not actually at the festival now they seem to have moved it back a week.
