Chapple12345 Posted September 22 Author Report Share Posted September 22 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseamer Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Latitude also tweeted something about their ‘Fields of Gold’. So yep, it’s gonna be Sting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 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!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted September 23 Author Report Share Posted September 23 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 It's a nice building site he's chosen for his press photo, at least. Gives it that rustic Tyneside feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisplowman Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Sting playing just The Police songs I’d be happy with. Sting playing Sting songs, no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glimmers_of_hope Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modefan Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 JT can be discounted as a Latitude headliner I'd have thought as he is playing in Chelmsford a couple of weeks before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Chapple12345 Posted September 23 Author Report Share Posted September 23 My best bet is he does the Sunday, that seems to be their chilled Radio 2 listener headliner now (Duran Duran, George Ezra, Snow Patrol having done it the last few years) Melvin did an interview this morning and seemed to imply the next announcement will be by the end of next month, but I reckon it'll be November time with announcement 2 in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact he also didn't confirm it at the same time as all the other 2025 summer European shows including IOW and Lytham also counts against him for this one.
