Longitude Festival 2013

Gideon Graves · 26-02-2013 9:45pm

Thinking Ben Howard, The Foals or Ed Sheeran will be likely bets for tomorrow's announcement. Ed Sheeran has a pretty strong fanbase and he played Latitude before as well.

Class..!! hope your right..:)

i'm going by someone who works for POD who said it on the EP message board. they've given plenty of inside tips and leaks in previous years that turned out to be true, so highly likely this will be too.

Morrison J · 26-02-2013 10:03pm

Might be reading too much into it but the official Latitude twitter page retweeted someone who asked if The Horrors will be playing?

Could be a hint? Id be happy if it was accurate anyway.

Have to agree, pretty boring line up and nothing that I would pay over 50 euro for.

no, playing the IMMA in Kilmainham this summer apparently.

If POD did get Blur then thats a massive selling point for FF and will nearly mean a sell out especially for the day they play.

Wonder what time they will announce at , morning/midday/afternoon

Also Melt's lineup is amazing, but it would be wasted here, it wouldn't sell well.

Yes, that line-up would be be wasted here because the majority of this country has no bloody taste! Like in all seriousness ya have people wanting ED bloody Sheeran :mad:

they won't be playing there as part of FF, it will be a separate gig/event.

thebostoncrab · 27-02-2013 2:34am

If that was the lineup then I'd only get a day ticket to see The Knife if I'm being honest...

I'd get a weekend ticket just to see The Knife alone LOL. Anyway, the Longitude line-up is going to be nothing like the Melt line-up, Melt has always been more Electronic orientated with a bit of "Indie" thrown in where as most festivals on a similar scale have been the opposite

LeftBlank · 27-02-2013 9:19am

Lineup will be out this evening according to MCD twitter.

Just Like Heaven · 27-02-2013 10:48am

This evening? Boo.

quite possible, they're at TITP the weekend before, with nothing else in Europe announced for the rest of the summer, and do seem like a typical Latitude act going on past lineups...

deeks · 27-02-2013 12:28pm

All over my twitter feed at the moment that Kraftwerk will be one of the headliners.

ghostdancer · 27-02-2013 12:33pm

them plus Vampire Weekend is what I've heard...
Atoms for Peace being talked about too.

bennyl10 · 27-02-2013 12:46pm

so does that mean this will be the EDM festival then..

Couldn't give a flying fcuk about Vampire Weekend, but Atoms for Peace and Kraftwerk would be very nice indeed.

declanleo · 27-02-2013 12:59pm

kraftwerk i am kloot and the pet shop boys will be playing.each night over by 11

A V A · 27-02-2013 2:23pm

kraftwerk would be cool as i missed them when they played kilmainham.not really hoping for james blake, i couldnt see him being any use at a vestival but he's good in his own venue!!

Irish Aris · 27-02-2013 4:35pm

Kraftwerk are very high in my "bands I want to see live" list, if they are confirmed I am so there!!!

No hope of that. They are copying the 'latitude' brand so to speak so the line-up should be the same genres as you'll get in the uk.

If MCD announce someone like David Guetta today i'll not be going near it!

rafi bomb · 27-02-2013 5:43pm

If its a ff type festival but that big I can't see it doing well here. They will probably need at least 1 pretty big name

Id expect Guetta to do Oxegen

rafi bomb · 27-02-2013 5:51pm

I also saw this. Now it's taken from the Herald so to be taken with a pinch of salt. I think 200 or over is too much.

Ticket prices are estimated to go for around €200.

agreed, it would want to be a very good lineup to sell well for €200, considering FF was €115 last year for 3 days/3 stages.

nocoverart · 27-02-2013 6:26pm

Is this line-up getting announced on the Radio, or just going up on their website?

Id say FB/Twitter since they didnt announce any radio station

Furious-Red · 27-02-2013 6:42pm

If anyone is near the Fade Street Social thats where the launch is

ghostdancer · 27-02-2013 7:01pm

Kraftwerk, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Villagers, Foals, Mark Lanegan, Django Django, Kodaline, Mmoths, AlunaGeorge

Furious-Red · 27-02-2013 7:08pm

Looks like i wont be going

ghostdancer · 27-02-2013 7:08pm

Early bird weekend €129.50 early bird day tickets €44.50 on sale Monday
Early bird expires April 7th, tickets then €149.50 (weekend) & €54.50 (day)

grudgehugger · 27-02-2013 7:09pm

Not blown away by that at first glance although Vampire Weekend and Kraftwerk would both be good...

Am guessing I'll wait for more details and end up going either Saturday and Sunday... probably Sunday as may be my only chance to see Kraftwerk - who knows when they'll play Ireland again.

Weaker bill than Forbidden Fruit had last year in my opinion... and higher-priced tickets. Maybe they have more gooduns up their sleeve....

I reckon both the FF and EP organisers will b happy enough with the announcement...

LeftBlank · 27-02-2013 7:12pm

Kraftwerk + some other bands for 45 euro (+ bf). Yes please!

The Guardian · 27-02-2013 7:12pm

maybe a day ticket
wouldnt be bothered with 3 days of that.

daycent value for that lineup with the early bird. can't complain, good job MCD.

presume they wont announce the day-by-day lineups until around June?

probably not, but from the bottom of the handout it says:
Friday - Phoenix
Saturday - Vampire Weekend
(presumably) Sunday - Kraftwerk

Eod100 · 27-02-2013 7:18pm

Reckon there'll be much of a crossover of acts between Longitude, Forbidden Fruit or Electric Picnic? Or even some of the smaller festivals like Indiependence and Castlepalooza?

Probably will be a while which is annoying. If I knew Jake Bugg was Saturday I'd definitely buy a ticket, as it is now I'm not sure. Him and VW are the only two I like

nocoverart · 27-02-2013 7:18pm

Fairly pathetic line up that, but wasn't expecting anything else.

grudgehugger · 27-02-2013 7:18pm

I'd say there'll be a lot of takers for day tickets on this one so a breakdown should be out a lot sooner. Maybe even in April.

Stage times etc. will be just before festival tho I'd say.

Kraftwerk et al & just checking out the venue/ atmosphere is likely to tempt me along for a day - but with a lot of other festivals to choose from, that'll be it for me I'd say

Just Like Heaven · 27-02-2013 7:19pm

The price of the day tickets goes up in April so if they don't announce the day splits before then I won't be buying a ticket on principle!

That's a pretty crap announcement, but if a couple of Kraftwerk, Foals, Kodaline or Hot chip fall onto the same day and day splits are announced whilst day tickets are still €45 I'll head along to one day. Would get bored of 3 days of that though.
