Yes.
T'will be great.
aye
looking fwd to arcade fire, cyhsy, good the bad the queen and tobias foberg especially. lots of people are excited about some of the comics playing.
The poetry tent
was an unexpected highlight for me last year. Saul Williams was great.
.
i'm strongly considering going again, twas amazing last year.
any idea when the rest of the lineup's getting announced? the bands they've announced are good, but last year they had a bunch of good bands low down the lineup like archie bronson outfit and part chimp and shiz like that.
oh and fingers crossed for saul coming back, his new album's apparently nearly done so it's not impossible...
.
jarvis announced. wahoo!
Yarr I'll hopefully be going.
I love Jarvis. Disappointed the Bright Eyes rumours have stopped though.
:)
please go! i want to go..
i still think bright eyes is likely tho, cos he's in the country around then..
Come!
A festival won't be the same without you! The jailbaits are coming, although they're all 18 now.
Hmm on efestivals, Bright Eyes has vanished from the rumours section. But it'd MAKE MY LIFE if he played.
any ideas
how i could get a job/volunteer to work there. helping set up and dismantle, clean up steward etc.
On the Tomlab website.
Final Fantasy.
Happy Days.
wut?
i really want to go. = (
Erm...
Go then.
Happy Days aren't on though. Because they Don't exist.
.,.
albert hammond jr
charlotte hatherly
both newly announced
Both rubbish.
But someone booking this thing has taste - FINAL FANTASY!
Really?!
Well that's just bloody fantastic then! Although my act of the weekend will be Stewart Lee. I'm almost a bit scared that if I get too excited I'll jinx it and he won't come. Same goes for The National.
the national
apparently playing on sunday!!!
the broken family band
oooooooooooooh yes!
Nice.
I haven't seem them around for a while.
Oh man, no way
I didn't think there was anything that would make me want to go to this festival more. But no, organisers have a way of fucking with you.
Just bought my tickets.
Looking forward to it!
i am now coming to this
OFFICIAL
That makes it
OFFICIALLY great.
I'll say hello.
Going to get my ticket next week
I know I am definatley going for the Sunday but at the moment I am tempted to go for the whole weekend.
I'm going.
But I'm working it. 6 hours a day. The rest of the time I get to do whatever I like.
Bat For Lashes have announced they're playing which is ace- just adds to an already brilliant line-up. Dylan Moran!
me!
with a girl! a nice one!
Just because we're both going
doesn't mean you're going "with" me. Dude.
I'm From Barcelona
will also be there, so we've now booked our tickets.
Along with Arcade Fire, Wilco, The National, Wheat, Paris Motel and Final Fantasy... really looking forward to this.
aaaah really?!
which day, which day?!
just seen
the hold steady, annuals, kissaway trail, cold war kids, two gallants and bat for lashes in the nme ad !
Stewart Lee
Is probably the funniest man I have ever seen and is playing the comedy tent on the Saturday. Well worth checking out.
don't forget about
Herman Dune, Annuals, au revoir simone and I'm from barcelona!
This looks really good now. I hope I can get press passes/afford it.
AAAAHHH
I NEED TO GO
.
IFB are on the Saturday. Hope they don't clash with anyone else, as they'd win for me.
May also see Au Revoir Simone, Annuals, & Herman Dune, as I may end up liking them I think.
oh man
this just gets better and better.
herman dune, the hold steady and im from barcelona are must sees for me.
Haha Cake just got added.
Anyone remember them?
HE'S GOING THE DISTANCE
my must-sees:
the hold steady, two gallants, final fantasy, patrick wolf, cake, explosions in the sky, wilco, jarvis, the rapture, the national and arcade motherfucking fire.
Bill
Bailey. Fuck yeah.
and
Dylan Moran.
Glorious.
this is looking fucking sexy
I went last year and it was great too, with a much less...good...line up, thought better headliners (well, Anthony plus Mogwai = :D)
Bill Bailey will be bloody ace.
As will Dylan. Hurrah for Latitude!
