The boys have been confirmed as playing Latitude this year, but which day? I want to buy a day ticket for whichever day MMJ are playing but is it Fri, sat or Sun? Any help gratefully received. :)
I've only just seen this - went to the first three latitudes and had a good time. I'd really hope for them closing the second stage on Saturday... but more importantly this must mean some more UK dates! :D ;D :D
EDIT: also good to see the National playing.

Thanks, CC! Forum Calendar updated.
Ah, many thanks CC. I'm sure they'll enjoy Latitude!
This only firms up my plans to go to High Sierra, since I was waiting for more west coast dates around 7/4...looks like I better git where I can git!

Thank you so much for the info CC! :thumbsup:
does this wide spread location and dates of their fest appearences make a massive circuital support tour more or less likely? between May 22nd and July their playing all over the place.
I have been trying to connect the dots wondering the same thing. But, no clear pattern yet!

Cheers, Riny. Will you be attending?
If not, and they turn it up real loud you'll be able to hear it in Holland anyway...

Hey, hey I've been patient! Just very... excited over the prospect of them coming here... ;)
Despite the facts that it is a 5 1/2 hour drive from where I live, that my wife will have to fly in from Spain, that a day ticket is £70, that Paolo Nutini is headlining, and the liklihood that they will play for only an hour, I have bought tickets and we will be going. End of.

That's dedication! I'd like to know which day Bright Eyes and Villagers will be playing... hopefully Saturday too! [insert delusional hope here] ;)

I think 45 minutes is more likely, maybe less. Think that's what they got at Hop Farm three years ago. Seriously hoping there's some indoor UK shows, there's gotta be...

My hope is that they close out the second stage, which is a 90 minute slot - Rodrigo y Gabriela did that a few years ago and tore the place apart.

Yes, yes fingers crossed! So Latitude festival visitors, assuming my friend and I make it there too, who are you and where will we all meet-up? :thumbsup:

Hi Sara! Seems to be just the two of us this summer ;) (kidding) I'l go first :) I'm the friend you refer to in your post, I'm 30 years old, from the same town as you (surprise :D). Have been in love with My morning jacket since the first day I heard of them....I will meet you one hour before the plane leaves Gothenburg, when and where exactly I don't know yet! But it is going to be awesome!!!
Hi team Europe!
I might fly in from Stockholm/Skavsta this summer if they don´t play closer to home that is..
Looks like a nice fan get-to-gether swedish style at the festival! :)
Then I´ve catched The Jackets both in France and in England but not yet at home (except the MOF show). But hey vacation abroad and nice music who can complain?
This could be the biggest Swedish invasion since Ingvar the Far-Travelled visited England.
I'll be there on the Saturday only. I've been to Latitude three times, and enjoyed each one. We should definitely meet up for pre-Jacket beers and then get down on the rail.

Team Europe grows larger, greetings fellow Swede! Or should I perhaps say bork bork? ;) Nice to have another experienced MMJ concert veteran on board! Please tell us a little more about yourself, you know, favorite song, hat size, your masterplan... the usual stuff :thumbsup:

Hahahaha! Poor Ingvar, he never did return... It will be an invasion for sure though, I know Sunny said we'd go by plane, but really we're planning to go by moose, as soon as Mr. Stockholm confirms we'll be saddling up! (it takes a while to travel by moose, so we better get started sooner rather than later)
Either way pre-Jacket beers it is! I hear you got some fine brands over there across the North Sea! :thumbsup:
"My hope is that they close out the second stage, which is a 90 minute slot "
no chance of that - MMJ can barely get arrested in the UK - which is cool, 'cos we get to see them in sensible sized venues ;D
Checking back regularly for more UK dates - unless it's European festivals in the summer and a proper tour in the autumn??
Can they ever be as good as they were in Nottingham on the 'Z' tour ...... ???

Well, you have my respect! :thumbsup:
Looks like the Jacket are on before headliner Paulo Nutini - so they might have a decent stage time after all I guess...

Should be an 8pm-9pm slot - ideal face-melting potential as the sun is going down. It also means I should be able to drag myself over to see Foals headline the second stage afterwards.
Saturday day tickets not available according to the Latitude website, so I guess Paolo Nutini must really pull 'em in. ???

Hmmm. I got mine as soon as MMJ were announced - hopefully they'll put some more day tickets on later. I seem to remember they like to see how weekend ticket sales go before releasing the last of the day tix.

See you there SBB! Should be a good day: They Might Be Giants, Foals, British Sea Power, Seasick Steve... plus some others yet to be announced as to which day they're playing (hoping for some of these on the Saturday): Anna Calvi, Avi Buffalo, The Bees, Edwyn Collins, The Duke & The King, James Vincent McMorrow.

Yes! So excited! Had to get Friday tickets too, can't miss Bright Eyes! :D And I love Villagers, not sure what "playing across the music arenas" mean though? ??? Can't say I know the other bands too well, but I'll Spotify them right away! :thumbsup:

They announce the stage lineups about a week ahead of time - the ones listed as "across the arenas" will be given slots then. If your there on Friday, then Deerhunter and Caribou are must-sees. Also, last time I saw the National at Latitude they tore the place up.

Okiesdokies, thanks for the info, so excited about this! I just love England as it is and add great music to that, it can't get any better woop woop (http://im-smiley.com/imgs/celebrate/celebrate014.gif) (http://im-smiley.com)

Lots to check out - see you down the front for MMJ on Saturday!
For those in the UK that can get the Sky Arts TV channel, they will be covering Latitude at 9pm each night from 15-17th July. Fingers crossed they show a bit of MMJ... :beer:

Just about to start the 5 hour drive to Latitude, and it's pissing down with rain across the UK. Gonna be getting muddy down at the rail this evening! :D :beer:
It has been raining here in Lowestoft too, but now it has stopped for the time being. Yesterday was awesome, with Bright Eyes and Conor giving a shout out to Yimmy Yames. :thumbsup: Everyone's been really nice and friendly! Going out to get some more raincoats, then off to see Villagers! :D Can't wait for the musical creme brulee of tonight! See you there! :thumbsup:

Yeah, they went on about half an hour ago or so. Is it correct that they're only getting an hour? Its bad enough that they're only in Europe, er, England for two shows, but one hour seems meager.
8-9 PM there is 3-4 PM here (EST), so their set is over now.
And here's the setlist, lookin' a tad soggy.
