| Or it's just not been announced yet? Guess it's one to wait and see if anything comes up. Can't find anything about a Norwich festival later in the year though.. | |

| Latitude? It's in Southwold, on the Suffolk coast about an hour from Norwich. Gorgeous festival, was there last year and they had Elbow, Sigur Ros, Interpol and Blondie all playing, along with an incredible comedy line up. Not such a strong line up this year and I haven't heard anything about TGA playing it. It's sold out as it's a tiny festival compared to the other biggies in the UK (about a 5th the size of Reading/Leeds and T In The Park, and it would fit into Glastonbury several times) but it's awesome, if you get the chance you should go. Music, comedy, drama, poetry, debates... it's like a mini Glastonbury. Except cooler. | |

| £60 for a day ticket is too steep for me, especially as none of the other band appeal to me and I would have to put a train fare on top of it. Makes me wish I was going to see them in Hyde Park... |

| I thought I'f follow this up, if only for the record.
Here are some photos of their gig:

And here's a good review from www.buzzinmusicblog.co.uk/latitude-festival-%E2%80%93-thom-yorke-gaslight-anthem-saint-etienne-magazine/1515
Gaslight Anthem - Obelisk (main stage) Arena
I spent much of Sunday afternoon taking in non-music attractions but had earmarked Gaslight Anthem as soon as I had received the weekend’s timetable, after seeing their performance at this year’s Glastonbury. I was hoping for another big performance from the Springsteen-lovers from New Jersey. For whatever reason it was a shame to see the main arena was only half full when Gaslight Anthem started their late afternoon set. But as their garage rock anthems began it was like the Pied Piper calling. The main arena was soon pretty full with a mix of fans and the uninitiated. But everyone was dancing and enjoying one of the best live bands around. There was even a small, excited mosh-pit formed in front of the stage, while to the sides families had young kids on their shoulders. A couple of songs in and the place erupted with the opening guitar strumming of the wonderful ’59 Sound, the title track from their current album; a perfect song for a perfect summer festival, echoing a blend of early Clash and Bruce Springsteen, nice! Simple songs about cars and girls, the Gaslight Anthem sound is both garage and stadium rock. Whatever side of the fence you walk, they make for a great live experience. Good clean old fashioned rock n roll, but no cussing to be heard from these tattooed lover boys. | |
