Chapple12345 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Well that came out of nowhere! Pretty solid first name, the article I've read said more names will be released before the end of the year too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmers_of_hope Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Wow, I would not have predicted Duran Duran! Bit leftfield! I mean, they've got some bangers. I'll give the new album a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Boo Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) So who are likely to be the other headliners. Would Pet Shop Boys be unlikely now we already have an act from the 80s? I would like Pet Shop Boys, Suede and Crowded House from the Isle of Wight festival. The National would also be great, are they a possibility (I see them mentioned as a possible headliner on the other stage at Glastonbury) ?

Chapple12345 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Yeah I think PSB are probably out of contention now and The National aren't the sort of band they choose to headline anymore Hozier could be a shout, he's doing a fair few outdoor shows next summer and seems the right sort of level - a few more lineups are appearing now so worth keeping an eye out for other names that are active Edited November 6, 2023 by Chapple12345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattcfc Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 If they book hozier to headline as well as Duran Duran they better have some top tear in the tent at the same time so I can avoid both 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a similar booking to Pulp, Foals, Wolf Alice if you look at the last 3 years. Big indie band with enough cross over. The sort of act that can either headline the other stage at glasto or sub the pyramid. I might be reaching here because I love The National, but I still think Latitude would still book them (I'll caveat this with, doesn't mean I think they will defo be there this year).

Young fathers was a great example of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisplowman Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Yeah, a big populist headliner on the main stage usually means an excellent headliner on BBC Sounds. Sons of Kemet against Bastille Mogwai against The Killers Placebo against The 1975 Young Fathers against Paolo Nutini Pheobe Bridgers against Lewis Capaldi. So yeah IDLES against Duran Duran would be a dream. Seems likely, they've played it before, a new album is coming. That said the new Duran Duran album is pretty good.

gfa Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 survey emailed out - no crazy names suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 TRNSMT announcing their lineup soon by the sounds of it, again worth keeping an eye on as they've shared headliners every year since 2018 Also saw the survey, seems strange when it's probably likely most of the main acts will have been booked by now, unless its for future reference/if there are a few acts on the bill and seeing how popular they'd be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a big gap between start of July and start of August so it's possible, I just don't see them as the kind of act they'd choose to headline nowadays - the dates definitely work for them to play though so maybe they're added as a special guest or something?

I would love it to be The National (their 2016 set was one my favourite headline sets) but not sure they’d be up for it, with their own large shows planned. Also The National and Duran Duran would make for quite a blokey line up. I think they’d need a pretty strong female 3rd headliner or undercard to offset it. I agree a special guest slot might be more likely given their relationship with the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Pixies would be a decent second-stage headliner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a special guest slot might be more likely given their relationship with the festival. The national did 2 nights at ally pally and back next year for Crystal Palace. Being talked about as headlining the other stage at glasto...I think it's headliner or nothing for them at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmers_of_hope Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Just seen The Smile are releasing a new album next year and a big tour in March. Seems possible they will be there, given Thom Yorke has played a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
