^Interesting enough regarding costs

cherryghost · 03-03-2016 02:45PM

Meh to the lineup. Seen most of them in years gone by. Will wait a bit to see what acts are added to the bill.

Can't understand this attitude. So what if you seen them before. I've seen some bands loads of times. If you like them then what's the problem?

Surely everyone has a saturation point?

Yeah that's fair enough but would they really have saturation point for every band playing? Anyway, doesn't matter. Just a bug-bear of mine

I've seen about half of them. Not really interested in the other half. I only tend to enjoy bands live once or twice. Therefore for the money that's in it it's not really worth my time.

We all have differences in music. I respect yours and peoples decisions to see bands many times.

I'd be quite happy with that tbh, made a big **** off playlist of all the acts in apple music yesterday and started listening on shuffle, didn't know a lot of the names on the list but there were a lot of the songs i recognised from having bbc 6music pumping away during the work day. I can see myself spending more time in the tents this year than ever.

Can you share that Apple Music playlist?

If you can predict the joke/line they use to introduce the song, then that's saturation point.....

Yeah because the jokes are why we all go to concerts

I go for the hotpants

to see them that is

not to wear them

though I am open to that too

don't think anyone else would be though...

bodhrandude · 03-03-2016 06:16PM

Yeah but some of the repeats will have new material and possibly a new visual set up too or else it could be a crucial ex-member who has rejoined a group and is an important part of the bands early sound.

Wicked lineup. M83 would be the icing on the cake.

I thought they would definitely be on the line up, not sure why but just had a strong feeling. Also though Bloc Party would be on it for some reason. Both acts could still be added of course, M83 were announced for Latitude in the UK.

For anyone who is into electronic music/djs I wouldn't worry about the line up just yet, they always seem to announce most of these further down the line in other announcements (announcement 2 & 3, RBMA, Casa Bacardi). By this stage last year the only real electronic acts they had were Underworld, Hopkins & Tourist. The likes of Despacio, Julio Bashmore, Paul Kalkbrenner, The 2 Bears, MK, Mano le Tough, Joey Negro, Jackmaster, George Fitzgerald, Todd Terry, Paul Woolford, New Jackson & Krystal Klear all came later.

By my reckoning the only definite main stage acts they have announced so far are the 4 headliners, HAIM & Years & Years. Still a lot more to come I would say.

BadTurtle · 03-03-2016 07:08PM

Having seen Foals play 5 times in the last 3 years I'm very much at saturation point with them. Take a break from the fecking touring to write an album that isn't just the singles and one or two other decent tracks with a load of filler.

Don't lump HAIM in with those lot, they're actually good

Seen them at Glasto14' they were absolutely pure ****e live!! Hopefully they've improved!

Fatfrog · 03-03-2016 07:25PM

I'd be surprised if M83 weren't added!

Here's the Latitude line up from earlier today. It looks like a very low cost FR line up, maybe more to be added? interesting to see EP follow the same lower cost model?

They should be affordable like B&S booked them in 2012 and they didn't close the main stage.

Seen them at Longitude & The Academy and would beg to differ! Each to their own & all that though

I wasn't at the academy gig, but the footage looked awesome!!
I'm not talking about their ability, more so the performance on that day.

Their Glasto gig was just sloppy they looked a bit lost, weren't tight, vocals were pretty bad too, it was a bit like somebody singing with ear phones in, oblivious to the actual sound coming out!!
I'm not expecting 100% live perfection, but it's a horrible technique when they pull away from the range of the mic prematurely.

I heard them say in an interview recently that after they finish touring the new album that they are going to take a break for a bit. But not sure about the criticism for their new album I thought it was great and one of their better ones

They said the same after their previous album. The hiatus lasted all of 2 or 3 months before they went back to the studio.

I like the most recent album though. Didn't grab me right away but some great songs on it.

MJohnston · 03-03-2016 11:29PM

I want Metronomy back. One of my favourite live acts, so energetic and fun as performers, just like their music. Don't think they've been to Ireland for a couple of years now

ab4248 · 03-03-2016 11:42PM

Ill add The Formidable Vegetable Sound System for fun MJohnston. Was a highlight for me last year (judgement was questionable at the time). Hope RSAG is back too.

they played Longitude last year, and EP and the Olympia the year before. probably working on a new album at the moment so doubt they'll be here this year unfortunately.

Aye, I was at their EP gig the year before, didn't realise they'd played Longitude though, damn

You sure about the Olympia, because they also did FF in 2014.
