[Jack01825]

Florence probabaly the only female headliner that would suit truck? 

 

Maybe Wolf Alice but I don't see them as headliners tbh

I think Wolf Alice would headline, even as the smaller option. 

[foolee]

Wolf Alice would be a great headliner

[Mcbatesman]

probably not for 2025 but if self esteems next album does well she could be a shout for 2026 headliner

Would love Wolf Alice to get a headline slot for this.

 

When can we expect to get the first names or is that still miles away. I have never been any good at remembering that sort of stuff.

I don't believe they were, there was very solid information they weren't even booked until a week before.

Regardless still was a weak booking from Glasto more than a coup from Truck

So we have a bit of a wait. Plenty of time to be play the guessing game.

Where would the maccabees sit on this? 
 

I believe they are about to be announced tomorrow as Brighton on the beach headliners

Her crowd in 2023 at sub was tiny, yes it was raining but felt really small for one of the big acts, not sure she fits the vibe of the festival enough for headline

Headliner based on the size of their shows.

Given they are supposedly doing a Lido or APE day i'd maybe rule them out to be honest

WA did it in 2019 and I do remember them doing a good job given I was there. So, yeah, they could still do it and they're overdue a comeback.

Bloc Party sold out Crystal Palace park (not bowl) month+ in advance. They are definitely a headliner, or thursday at worst.

 

Also going on tour a bit more judging by the announcement earlier this week that they're doing a Manchester Castlefield Bowl show, ironically repeating the show I saw them at in 2019 - same venue and same SA in full concept.

They headlined Latitude on their last tour if I remember correctly. I think they’d be a better headliner booking than all three of this years headliners to be honest

[Dales]

Surely Snow Patrol a decent shout for this as playing Latitude around these dates. Snow Patrol done Victorious & YNot this year, so assuming could be one of those Superstruct multi festival deals. I would be happy with them showing up.

After Kendall's announcement most likely kaiser chiefs and or Courteeners as headliners?

 

Courteeners are very much the truck crowd. would go down a treat

I thought Courteeners may headline a day and think Kendall has made that even more likely now.

 

I think you are also right about Kaiser Chiefs but maybe Thursday?

[gfa]

Courteeners still very small down south

 

Pretty sure they couldn't sell out brixton o2 (5k) this year or maybe last

 

Kooks slot maybe

Hope they get the Prodigy - think FBS is probably too dancey for truck

I think Truck will get Fatboy Slim. Kaiser I think are potential for Victorious 

[Dales]

As much as I would like some one like Wolf Alice to headline or have a surprise, I suspect the headliners will be some one already announced as active next year.

 

So I will guess Courteeners, Snow Patrol, Fat Boy Slim with Kaiser Chiefs on the Thursday.

 

As a potential wild card maybe The Last Dinner Party replacing one of the above.

[foolee]

If the rumours are true re Biffy which I do doubt I think it’ll look something like

 

Kaiser Chiefs - Courteeners / Fat Boy Slim - Madness - Biffy Clyro

Was thinking TLDP will be high up. Sub I’m thinking.

I just wondered whether they would give them a bump to have a female headliner. I enjoyed Wet Leg last year and am a fan and seen them a number of times but had to admit it was obvious they got the slot to make the top line more diverse.

 

I get the feeling there will be a lot of enthusiasm in the industry to push TLDP to get another act that can take headline slots at the mid tier festivals. Sub would be about right for this but just wonder will they want to give them a bump?

[NorthernSoul52]

Snow Patrol coming off Latitude?

 

They have a knack of playing shortish headline sets, I have noticed. Not that it is necessarily an issue, but more of a curious one.
