Longitude 2016 - 15 – 17 JULY 2016

It doesn't look good at this stage, perhaps complications in getting more of the line up or something.

Really surprised we haven't heard anything else from Longitude yet, by the end of March last year we had 3 announcements and a day by day breakdown, as it stands we haven't heard anything since the initial announcement in January. Surely we will hear something in the next week or two. Maybe they're not in as much of a rush to sell tickets now that EP has sold out.

in 2014 they didn't have the full lineup or day breakdowns until May.
festival isn't until July, there's hardly much of a rush on them with or without EP selling out.

Very quick to jump to conclusions altogether.

True but even in 2014 they had announcements done by now. They still do have loads of time to announce everything but I would have expected at least another batch of acts by now, 3 months after the initial announcement.

Still no sign of any day line ups / further announcements.
Laura Mvula has just created a Facebook event for the Friday. Obviously on the next line up annoyncement. They'd want to hurry up!

Bandsintown have Courtney Barnett down for Friday

Never doubted them :pac:

Great lineup to be fair!

Duff

Run The Jewels! Can't wait for this.

ghostdancer

Friday and Sunday are good.
not much that I'm bothered with on Saturday bar ASAP Ferg, and at a push RTJ.
Hope Nina Kraviz is doing an afterpaty.

Going just for Kurt Vile

weemcd

Mann Run the Jewels on the Friday would have been insane.

Looking at Friday myself, purely for Kendrick Lamar and Action Bronson. Don't really know/care about too many other acts on that day.

BadTurtle

Kendrick, Tyler, Run The Jewels, Vic Mensa, Stormzy. Probably the best hip hop lineup Ireland's ever had.

Friday is okay I want to see Chvrches and Daughter are decent.

Sunday is very good. So I'm torn between and might go both days.

No frightened rabbit there, they have a new record out if anyone's interested. On Spotify now

BullBlackNova

That Sunday is unreal. National, Father John Misty, Jamie xx, Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett, Perfume Genius...

bigpink

Why or how the Coronas special guests?

duefrine

roisin

Sunday line up is amazing.

Hate not being able to go to everything

Are Jamie XX and The National likely to be on at the same time?

Have the lineup screenshot on my phone, and Jamie XX is showing for the Sunday, same day as The National.

Edit: Sorry, took the question as same day, rather than literally the same time.

I would imagine they are both main stage acts.

If any thought has gone into the running order, the other stages should finish in time for the headliners to take to the stage.

That's definitely not the way Longitude operates...actually don't think any festival operates that way!

I would be surprised if the two weren't clashing although not sure what stage Jamie XX would play on as I'd imagine it'd be way too busy. Fingers crossed they're both Main stage and I can catch them both.

BurtMacklin

Would Jamie xx not have a DJ set in a tent out the back and Father John Misty would sub The National?

Personally I would like Jamie xx into The National so I could see both.

BadTurtle

Jamie headlined the biggest tent at Forbidden Fruit last year, I expect itll be the same this year. Not often you'd get a DJ set on the main stage anywhere.

I presume Run the Jewels will do the same the night before.

Irish festivals certainly don't but you'd hear of a few in Europe doing it alright.

Or could they have The National headline but have Jamie XX play after? kinda like at EP when they have official headliners but an act will stay play after

BadTurtle

EP don't put DJs on the mainstage though, they put electronic acts playing live (Chem Bros, Disclosure, Leftfield etc.) or other bands. That's Saturday night too, so the last act is on after midnight.
And Longitude haven't done that up to this point, so I would be surprised if they'd start now, purely based on Jamie's popularity.

ghostdancer

they did it with Fatboy Slim.
and Forbidden Fruit had several DJ sets on the main stage last year, and probably again this year too.

i wouldn't be that surprised if he was on the main stage, he's bigger than any of the other potential sub-headliners, and bigger than any of the acts that headlined the tent last year.

Sub headliners from last years poster all played main stage right before the headline acts
