That question has been answered for Latitude Festival, as it has now been confirmed as another pilot event for the Governments research programme. That gives Latitude the guarantee that it will go ahead.

The lineup is typically eclectic for Latitude with headline sets from Wolf Alice, The Chemical Brothers, Bastille and Bombay Bicycle Club. You can also catch the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Supergrass, Fontaines D.C., Black Honey, Dream Wife and Shame.

WOLF ALICE – BLUE WEEKEND – ALBUM REVIEW

The success of Wolf Alice has always had an air of inevitability despite their desire to do things their own way. Their success comes not from compromise but from confidence that their quality will shine through.

With the release of their third album, ‘Blue Weekend’, you will doubtless hear many superlatives thrown the bands way and rightfully so. The universal acclaim that will likely follow this album is deserved. Wolf Alice are a band that has somewhat defied convention and attained their reputation simply for the consistent quality of their music.

WATCH ‘SMILE’ ON YOUTUBE
Wolf Alice – ‘Smile’

‘Blue Weekend’ continues the evolution of the bands sound, entwined with experimentation and familiarity. The album is a rollercoaster, full of peaks and troughs, twists and turns, that leaves you wanting to hop straight back on.

This record feels like it comes from a band at the peak of their powers, but knowing this group, they will still have plenty more to come. As the band grow into bonifide superstars, they can do so knowing they have earned it. This album as a whole is magnificent, but the likes of ‘Smile’, ‘No Hard Feelings’ and ‘The Last Man On Earth’ will grace their set lists for years to come.

Listen to ‘The Last Man On Earth’ on our Spotify Hot List!

After three truly great albums, there is now no denying Wolf Alice their spot at the top of music world. ‘Blue Weekend’ manages to grow the bands sound without alienating what brought them to the dance. This is a special album and it deserves all the praise that it will no doubt receive.

Is the return of live music on the horizon?

Reading & Leeds Festival announce sell out

This week we all listened with bated breath as the government announced their “roadmap” out of lockdown. Alongside various other steps that impact on the music industry was a date of June 21st. This is the date that, all being well, all social distancing laws will end.

This announcement clearly paving the way for the return of live music in the form we all know and love. Whilst we are optimistic, we are cautiously so. After all, when has anything gone to plan during this past year. Also, the safety of all involved must remain paramount.

But, we hope that the stars are aligning and we will all be together in a room or field across the country very soon. With all this in mind, this week has seen music fans prove the viability of the industry by flocking to purchase tickets for the return of music festivals.

Many festivals, big and small, have very quickly sold out all tickets, with Reading & Leeds Festivals leading the way. Festivals with no announced line-ups are even starting to sell out. This is fantastic news for festivals and all of the live music industry. Where the government has forgotten the industry, the fans have not.

See you at the barrier soon!
