Furious-Red

Longitude is delighted to announce that music fans across the country can start planning for 2016 with the festival returning to its home at Marlay Park from July 15th – 17th.

Fans can find out who’ll be headlining next summer when the first round of acts are announced early in the new year.

In just three short years Longitude has cemented itself as one of the premier events of the summer festival season winning the award for Best Medium Sized Festival at the Irish Festival Awards.

For further festival information see:

Can see Pixies and Sigur Ros headlining

circular flexing

Wouldn't be so sure about Sigur Ros - doesn't make any logistical sense to go from Romania to Ireland to Belgium to England. Also they will be playing mostly new material for the show, which makes it a bit odd that they are playing mostly festivals.

Wouldnt suit the crowd either

Disclosure will headline I reckon .

Dont no about that , when they have had bands like Kraftwerk/Pheonix/Massive Attack headline over the years . Although looking at their tour dates it does rule them out.

Disclosure are a good bet, maybe Faithless either if they want a big dance act

Furious-Red

Maybe Stereophonics could be in the running since they are doing Scotland the same weekend and with no irish date on their arena tour id say they will pop over here

Can't imagine that choice going down to well, maybe could see them do a gig in Kilmainham.

I reckon Kendrick Lamar might be a good shout. As well as Jaime XX and like you mentioned before Sigur Ros and the Pixies

MGMTea

anyone think Chvrches might be announced ? Maybe in the slot just before a headliner

Yeah I reckon the same. Haven't seen them out doors in years.

Furious-Red

Stereophonics just added another Scottish date for the 16th so id say its looking less likely for Longitude

Furious-Red

With 2 sell out 3Arena shows , could see Kodaline headlining either

Mushy

Can see M83 at it

Kendrick Lamar headlining Benicassim the same weekend. too big for Longitude?

I'd say Bloc Party would be a more viable headliner from the FIB lineup really.

I'd predict a Bloc Party, Two Door Cinema Club, Chvrches sort of Friday, Saturday headliners and subs, and then maybe Faithless or Jamie xx as the big dance draw? Could see Hot Chip turning up again too. Grimes could earn herself a decent spot at longitude or EP as well.

Any reason to predict that? I'd absolutely love it.

Few European dates around the time, would fit in. May skip Ireland also.though.

doubt Bloc Party are headlining in this day and age, their star has fallen quite a bit over the last few years.

Bloc Party subbing 2 Door Cinema Club could be a good shout

If they play Ireland I'm going, no matter where it is.

Kendrick would be an absolute dream...doubt his first Irish gig would be a festival though...would love to be proven wrong though

I tip my hat to you sir. It'd be a dream for him to play Longitude...doubtful about it though.

Yeah its a tough one to call. I'd say EP would be the favourite to snag him.

Gonna throw out a curveball and say maybe Forbidden Fruit. Quite unlikely but they do tend to focus on Hip Hop & Electronic acts for their headliners nowadays.

Was thinking Forbidden Fruit myself for him, I dunno if they'd get him at EP...would be nice though seeing as I have my ticket :P

Jungle? There playing at trinity ball again this year except with a bigger role. They also had a smaller role at longitude last year

Hot Chip doing festivals in July. Despite playing here twice in the past year (not including Belfast date) I wonder if we could see them? Such a fun band to see live.

Dr. Bre

Foals will prob play here or the picnic

Corholio

Miike Snow have a new album coming, will hopefully play one of the festivals here.
