Caribou and alt-j are going to be on at the same time, aren't they?!

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Damn Saturday doesn't really seem to have many of the bands I was hoping for.

Maybe I'm not familiar enough with the bands lower down on that day but there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of variety for Saturday. Is there any more rock bands there that I'm missing out on? (like Benjamin Booker or Drenge)

St. Lupulin

The 3 best acts - Terje, Caribou and Chemical Brothers, all on 3 different days...

You bastards.

I think Slaves are great. If you're into Rock/Punk kinda stuff at all I'd give them a listen. They're meant to be great live too.

Yeah I hope this isn't a stupid question but acts billed on the same line aren't gonna be on at the same time are they? :?

Cheers! I'l give them a look, also the Bohicas seem like they might be decent.

Has anyone ever gone to a festival like this by themselves? Just wondering what it's like cause I'm gonna go whether friends are joining or not!

I actually went on my own to this two years ago although I knew different people that were going to each of the various days so could meet up with them when I wanted usually. Plus I live down the road so was easy to get to.


However I did enjoy going around on my own and getting to see all the bands I wanted and not having to constantly keep track of people and stick with a group.

Yeah there are, but acts billed on the same line are generally about the same popularity, so they might be on the same stage you know?

BadTurtle

Usually at Longitude they stick all the biggest font acts on the main stage and the cultier acts headline elsewhere.

Personal choice but looks like Friday is the day for me.

Really like Metronome and Catfish, and was big into the Vaccines a few years back. Hosier has been on my to see list for a while.

Ferris_Bueller

A lot of the acts I would have liked to see are fairly split up across the three days, which is bad for me as I can only afford to go for one day. Planned on going the day Todd Terje was playing all along but not many other acts appeal to me that day except for Metronomy, although I wouldn't be too familiar with a lot of acts who are playing on the Friday. Are there many more acts to be announced? Can't remember how many announcements there were in total last year. Hopefully still a good few acts to come for the RBMA stage.

BadTurtle

Still a few for each day but nothing major left to be announced.

siblers

Alt-J and Catfish And The Bottlemen were the two bands I really wanted to see, so a bit disapointed they are on different days. Not much else on Saturday i'm interested in except for Years & Years, really like them so will probably go just for the Saturday.

PatrickIde1187

Anyone know roughly what time Chemical Brothers should be on at? And if I was to get down at 10:30 fifteen minutes before they stopped letting people in , reckon they would let me in?

Ferris_Bueller

Last year the festival finished at 11, if you got there for 10:30 you would catch 30 mins of them max. Don't even know if they would let you in at that time.

catb

Going Friday and the only two i'm interested in are Catfish & The Bottlemen and Hozier, was hoping Wolf Alice would play Friday too but unfortunately they're Sunday Any recommendations on who I should go to see on Friday apart from the above mentioned? I've seen Wyvern Lingo but tbh not too keen...

Also is it worth my while going Sunday just for Wolf Alice? I'm not too familiar with any of the other acts music (and I'm also lazy when it comes to listening to new music) so what are the other acts like?

Same as myself, plus Drenge on Sunday. If I was jammy enough to get all of them on 1 day I would certainly go.

Anyone know if you can volunteer at Logitude this year? There's a thing on the page but it just says "coming soon"
Also if anyone has ever volunteered at it before, any details would be great

Fitz*

Any more updates coming for this anytime soon? The Saturday is lacking a bit at the moment I think.

Also, Years & Years look like they are down for the Saturday, but their tour dates say they play Ireland on the Friday.

Mcbumhole

Really looking forward to seeing the Chemical Brothers (for about the tenth time) but presumably they will be playing loads off their new album which is released around the time of Longitude I think

There is very limited volunteer work at the day festivals, if looking for work, I would suggest the bars.

Furious-Red

Longitude Festival

New acts just announced for Longitude 2015 including Le Galaxie, Josef Salvat, Leon Bridges and HÆLOS.

some good names there.
not too fussed on the top 3 names on Friday, so hopefully Carl Craig will be headlining that night on the RBMA stage
