^^ You're saturda Obelisk line up made me very happy! Altho, National would play main stage like they did last year. But picking Warlocks and Herman Dune gives you extra brownie points

i kind of hope i'm wrong here, but i've got a feeling that the headliners are going to be much more 'mainstream' next year, perhaps as mainstream as franz were a few years back. i'm thining this because of the way ticket sales went this year and the main way that the festival can live up to that is to bring in bigger bands to gather and retain the public's interest in the festival. latitude will also be (if t isn't already) a festival that the big bands want to play at

Surely this would be a reason for them to not get so mainstream?

If the event sells out with the current level headliners they have no reason to bring in big names such as the Fratellis etc.

Comments please

that would be the latitude headliners out of pocket......

I think Jesus and Mary Chain could be a good shout, I also think that Editors could be in with a chance of a headline spot (if their star continues rising)
Flaming lips would suit the festival but are they a big enough name to headline now?
 
I still think that it's a UK festival The Cure could be persuaded to headline at some point.....
 
I don't agree that it'll become more mainstream, maybe, say, bloc party.......but I do think it might well attract bigger "names".........Neil Young, Leonard Cohen....... possibly even Dylan?
 
I think what they'll aim for is to enhance the standing of acts further down the bill.....rather than stumping up for huge headliners.
 
I do think the following will be high on their hitlist for 2009:
 
Bright Eyes/conor oberst
Belle and Sebastian
My Morning Jacket
The Hold Steady
Polyphonic Spree
Eels
The National
Cold War Kids
mgmt
buffalo tom
liam frost
tiny dancers
laura marling
the shins
iliketrains
 
its actually pretty hard to come up with that many great acts who aren't on this years bill!!!!

What do you mean? By the way, that's my dream, not what I think will happen.

What did you mean by out of pocket though?

noone would go, as at first glance the lineup sucked

How does it suck? The headliners will attract a lot of people... especially Weezer. I don't even like them that much, because I think every album they've made other than Blue and Pinkerton has been pretty poor. However, they would be so much fun live which is why I picked them.

fair enough.

The Flaming Lips would be the PERFECT Sunday night closer.

My choices/predictions for next year, in no particular order:
 
Headliners:
 
Obelisk:
Beck
Bjork
Eels
 
or.....
 
Radiohead - I wish!!
 
Uncut:
The National
British Sea Power
The Knife
or Spiritualized
 
Sunrise:
Mystery Jets
 
 
 
Elsewhere on the line-up:
 
iLiKETRAiNS
Band of Horses
Forward Russia
Laura Marling
Au Revoir Simone
Low
Secret Machines
The Bees
Modest Mouse
Maps
Feist
Jamie T
Basia Bulat
 
 

I like to see Belle & Sebastian, The Raconteurs and The Kooks headlining.
 
Would like to see more sub-pop, Bella Union and Saddle Creek acts too
