Had this email earlier saying don't get 'stung' by missing out 

A potential hint for one of the heavily rumoured names maybe 🤔

Sting then…Underwhelming.

To be honest Latitude rarely shines in the headliners department, the undercard is usually the best part so I'm not too worried about it all 

I just wish we'd have a bit more to get your teeth into, Sting isnt really a name that will get you really excited for the festival on its own

Sting didn't look great on the box at Preston for Radio 2 the other day. Friends there in the crowd said it sounded far better in person, but the sound felt a bit undernourished, even if the Police were a power trio back in the day.

 

That original shout at the top of the thread? Biffy Clyro, Lorde and Pet Shop Boys? That would be a stonking affair. Three very good live acts.

Latitude also tweeted something about their ‘Fields of Gold’. So yep, it’s gonna be Sting.

It's not that Sting has been touring a poor set at all - it's just I have some severe reservations about that 3.0 lineup, even if it is back to basics.

 

Songs definitely seem slower than before too, which is probably more reflective of his age. He might not look 72, but he does seem to play like a man who isn't quite as fluid as he was back in the day. (And is anybody!)

[Chapple12345]

Doesn't say what day he's on here but I'd imagine there will be more names before rhe end of the year 

 

I've also added IoW as it gives an idea of who else is active next summer

It's a nice building site he's chosen for his press photo, at least. Gives it that rustic Tyneside feel.

Latitude and IOW trying extra hard to keep troublesome teens and 20-somethings away.

Surely Faithless are the "closing" act on that day. Although billing normally would say otherwise...

Sting playing just The Police songs I’d be happy with. Sting playing Sting songs, no thanks.

Odd booking.

Sting has some great songs. 

Johnny picnic blanket is going to have a lovely time camping out all day at the obelisk. 

Hopefully something a bit more contemporary will be happening in the tent.

JT can be discounted as a Latitude headliner I'd have thought as he is playing in Chelmsford a couple of weeks before.

It was Duran Duran this year so I think it's very much the route Latitude is going for with one of their days. A big name from the past.
