The pessimist in me thought that the organisers could never better last years incredible lineup (Wilco, Arcade Fire, Midlake, Loney Dear..you get the picture). Looks like I’ve been proved wrong already. The first acts for this years Suffolk based Latitude festival have been announced today, and my oh my, it’s gonna be a good ‘un.
So far we’ve got TLOBF favourites Elbow, Death Cab For Cutie (!!!!!), Interpol and Sigur Ros. Other acts confirmed are Franz Ferdinand, The Breeders, Amadou and Mariam and M.I.A. On the comedian front, Bill Bailey, Simon Amstell and Phil Jupitus will all be appearing in the ever popular Comedy Tent.
The great news (for me at least) is that the festival site, in the beautiful surroundings of South Wold on the Suffolk coast is only a 15 minute drive from my house. No camping for me! Hoo-rah!!

Hi. just a quick message to say that calls to 0870 numbers can cost up to 7p per minute from most landlines. This will cover you for advertising a number on the blog without any notices of charges. Hope you dont mind me doing this.
