Longitude Festival 2013

Gideon Graves

I'd say Bombay Bicylce Club would fit the bill, unless Forbidden Fruit or Camden Crawl hasn't signed them up already

Kraftwerk 3d outdoors is no where near as good as indoor, shame really

Am I just being thick?

How can they expect people to buy day tickets without knowing which bands play which days?

Did someone say there that Vampire Weekend are on the Saturday?

Do you what's really annoying me ,its the thought of traveling To and from Marley park .for foo fighters and nine inch nails it was such a pain in the arse and to took forever to get back into town.im hoping for foals ,vampire weekend ,moths and Jesse wareon the same day. I was kinda hoping for James Blake to be on the bill I also think there should be a few djs added to the bill , I know sbtrkt is doin a dj slot but that's only one, I'm hoping for joy Orbison disclosure and acts like that to be attracted to a festival like this it's suites them to the ground compared to the likes of oxygen/EP/forbidden fruit .

to me, FF would be perfect for Joy Orbison, Disclosure etc.? Longitude is too "indie"-centric for them really. i on't particular want to see Joy O on at 6pm to a quarter-full tent, or worse, an outdoor stage....

in the words of clay davis this was my expression to the line-up

This is according to the bands websites.

Modest Mouse - Friday
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sunday

Where are you seeing that for Modest Mouse? All I can see on their site is:

07/19/13 - 07/21/13 Punchestown, Co. Kildare Longitude Festival

Obviously the venue is wrong, but the dates are just for the whole festival.

I suppose but I was thinking of melt festival in Germany , I wouldn't mind seeing joy o at six if it was sunny out and the same with disclosure ,I wouldn't be mad on seeing them in a tent though!!!!

You're spot on my mistake.

I saw the first date thought it was the Friday, didn't see the second date at all.

Can't believe the some of the negative reaction to this line-up. I think it's bleeding deadly......Paul Kalkbrennar, SBTRKT, Hot Chip, MO. Gonna be a great weekend. Will be picking up my 3-day ticket on Monday fo sure

I presume you mean alongside Modest Mouse.. otherwise I don't really follow, can you elaborate?

I couldn't see Foals playing both FF and Longtitude.

EDIT: Ok on re-read I don't think that's what you meant. It read first time like you were hoping Foals played FF on the Friday.

It is completely impossible for anyone to announce a festival lineup without having a few people from the peanut gallery poo-pooing it.

I think it's a great line up regardless

It's unoriginal and lacks variety, I think a certain few are allowed to be frustrated with the play it safe path that almost every Festival is taking

Unoriginal?who do you want at it??rihanna ?ed Sherman?olly murs?calvin Harris? None of the above dont fit this kind of festival! You have oxygen etc for those kind of acts so I don't see how this is unoriginal or how any mainstream kind of act would fit into this line up

As far as personal preference goes I would of liked something along the lines of Aphex Twin, GY!BE, The Knife and My Bloody Valentine (if at all possible) but as a lover of music anything with a good mix of genres would do. Heck why not even have a Metal/Rock stage? I think that would bring a great diversity. Btw, you're well up on your POP acts... a closet fan perhaps?

Rave up in Marlay. Put the women & children to bed ! Yeoww :cool:

Don't have to be a closet fan to know what's around!!

I'd say the knife will play electric picnic

I would have loved some of the melt fest line up

surprised people are disagreeing with nocoverart, there's certainly good acts there, but it's hardly the most imaginative lineup going.
Hot Chip here yet again, same as every summer, another Foals festival appearance following an indoor gig, TEED again, Villagers and Mmoths of course being there somewhere, SBTRKT, Local Natives are regularly here.
it's mostly radio-friendly "indie" music too, the type of lineup Q Magazine would come out with.

i'll still be going, as there's plenty of good acts there, but bar a few exceptions, if you've been to a few festivals here in the last few years, you'll probably have seen most of those acts...

Furious-Red

Ah the reason im not mad about the line up because suppose deep down inside i was hoping for a rock festival with a mix of the some of the bands announced yesterday and then bands like Stereophonics etc . Although still hoping for a festival that blends Download/Reading and Leeds but will never happen over here

A V A

I think our attempt at dowload a few years back was bit pathetic,we need a reading and Leeds!!!

This is simple and easy, it's not a festival.

OK, so let me get this straight! MCD are holding a music festival but we can't have anything that loud because It's not a festival. Jaysus, hope you pack your earplugs

While I do get that MCD are trying to market this festival towards certain general 'tastes', I do think it's shame that there is no rock/metal festival in this country. What makes it more disappointing is how we have the same old same old kind of festival popularised by Electric Picnic nearly a decade ago. This, Body and Soul, Forbidden Fruit, and a lot of smaller festivals where indie or electronic are the main focus.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing: I like indie and electronic and I think it's great that we have more choice with festivals. But does that diversity have to be narrowed to the same kind of 'boutique' formula every time?

I dont think you understand what they are trying to do. they are moving away from the oxegen model to a more tailored model like the uk, a tried and tested approach that might make the festival culture over here a little more fun. Go to Glasto if you want diversity, its been tried here and failed

The tickets are fairly good value, looking forward to it and the fact I don't have to camp.

Yea thats what ive noticed there are now loads of different festival options for people who like indie/electronic etc but none for rock/metal fans . Wouldnt even mind 2 day mini festival (kinda like bud rising from a few years ago) 2 big headliners and a 5 or 6 support bill per day

electrobanana

The lineup is ok but i don't know about anyone else but give me a 3 day camping festival down the country any day of the week.

Kraftwerk 3D on my doorstep. Couldn't possibly refuse.
