Snow Patrol are playing Portugal the 12th, Madrid the 13th so this could be a good fit for them...

With the exception of anderson paak and solange this fest looks **** to me.

An RnB fans dream come true but I liked when this fest was primarily Band driven. I'll be at Bilbao BBk so at least this rules out these acts for booking over there. Phew

BullBlackNova

The trio confirmed for the Sunday - Anderson Paak, Solange and Sampha - are excellent but I wouldn't be interested in any of the rest.

Had a few good days at Longitude over the years but will likely skip it this year!

If you like hip-hop, this is a big festival for you.

No Indie / Rock acts whatsoever is a bit weird, no? is Diplo the only non-hip-hop act?

Was thinking the exact same. Majority of acts all seem to be the one hip hop/ r n b etc. Nothing at all for Indie rock fans.

It used be a pretty clear day split - one pop, one rap/r&b, one indie/rock, didn't it? The National, Alt-J etc headlined days at the same festival as Kendrick Lamar and others iir.

Last year seemed to go more towards the all pop/r&b angle and this year seems to be doubling down on that.

TBH, it probably makes more sense - it would be much easier to sell weekend passes to this festival than one with three very distinct strands of music, I would imagine.

SteelyDanJalapeno

what a very poor line up imo

DylanB85

What an absolutely horrible line up haha

MattD

I wouldn't say it's horrible , but wow Longitude have really set their stall out there as a balls out hip-hop rnb festival...!

Sampha, Anderson Paak. on the Sunday is very good to me, and I'd like to see Tyler the Creator and Ibeyi...

I really don't see the appeal of Migos and other trap rappers, but it's what's hot now. It was only a matter of time before a festival really took advantage of the love for all things hip-hop right now.

Easy Rod

Yeah not for me but I think that’s quite strong for the genre they’re going for.

Redo91

Jesus that's a shocking line up compared to the last few years.

Whatsisname

Subjective I guess but thats an insanely good line up to me

MattD

To people saying this is a horrible lineup: This will be the fastest selling Longitude ever, I guarantee it.

That could heavily be attributed to the fact that it's all one genre. People who like the genre will see it better value to buy the weekend pass rather than 1 day passes and the numbers will rack up that way. 1 person is then part of the allotted attendance allowed for 3 days rather that 1 day.

I think it may be a younger crowd attending overall maybe.

That's fair, I just think it's funny that people are saying the lineup's awful when it's filled with some of the most popular artists from the most popular genre today. Makes one seem very one eyed and oblivious of what the music scene is today.

That isn't a testament to the stregth of the line up,, could be down to the fact that the previous years were very good, more money floating around etc.etc.

Ferris_Bueller

Jesus I didn't think they could get worse than last year, maybe it's a personal thing as I have zero interest in hip hop. On the bright side we can rule all of those out for Picnic.

Peatys

are they going for the RnB niche?
marley park used to be a handy gig for us, but skipping this

what change does that make? just means there's a pent up demand for RnB in this country, and happy for them.

But i'm selfishly ruing the loss of a handy gig..

I agree that it is an extremely popular and (festival wise) badly underrepresented genre.. strange to shift an existing successful festival from one genre completely

It’s still strange to see so much of one genre on the first bill, no doubt it will sell well, but you can understand why it won’t go down well with a lot of people.

I totally understand people being disappointed with the lineup and not interested in the genre.

But the shouts of "horrible lineup!" "never even heard of any of these!" is exactly the same as the people on the Electric Picnic Facebook page saying 'Portishead? Never heard of them!! Arcade Fire and Beck = boring Dad rock' etc etc

The Nal

Arcade Fire are boring dad rock though.

Will be interested to see how this sells. Haven't heard of a load of these lads.

wanderer100

Couldn't have dreamed of a better line up as a rap / hip hop fan!!

I do understand the disappointment though from others. Not much variety of any in terms of genre

Birneybau

So, somebody finally thought of the kids.

Shanotheslayer

Just booked the days of work and I'm absolutely buzzing for the Friday

super_furry

It's not a line-up for me and that's okay. Looks like they're turning it into a hip-hop festival and aiming for the 18-28 market, which they should be able to sell-out to on the strength of the head-liners alone.

Seeing Belly there is weird though, I'd love to see them live again but wouldn't go just for them.
