Lovebox have tweeted a clue :

Saturday's main stage headliners are a Mercury Music Prize nominated band...

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Suede perhaps? Or New Order?

So guessing they didn't win it since they are only saying nominated so Mumford & Sons or Florence is my guess.

[zahidf]

Mumford and Sons are around that time period playing Rockness, so they would be favourites IMO

[jump]

Not necessarily, they may just not have wanted to say "winner" because it would limit it so much. I mean lets be realistic, the only bands from the winners list I could see headlining are: Primal Scream, Suede, Portishead, Pulp, PJ Harvey, Dizzee Rascal, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys,Elbow & maybe The XX, Klaxons & Antony & the Johnsons at a push, the rest are too obscure or not around anymore.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I can't see them getting Florence. But Mumford are very likely I'd agree.

and another clue tweeted:

This year’s main stage Friday headliners have played 3 times before and we’re HUGE fans. Any guesses?

^{Has to be Groove Armada, again.}

NME line-up is missing some from the official line-up.

It's a great line-up imo. I'm confused though, are the headliners in this? Hot Chip are playing on Friday, and have played three times I believe, and Friendly Fires are Mercury nominated and are listed on Saturday....

[zahidf]

Hot Chip, Friendly Fires and Holly Johnson are the headliners according to timeout.

What an odd line up choice. Can't see it selling out this year.

I agree this lineup seems a bit strange; not sure there's much here to attract the fair-weather festival fan?

[Bisque]

Hospitality on the Saturday looks good (I'm sure they did it last year too).

[LondonTom]

Its a decent line up but ..theres nothing really...special about it?

[Bisque]

Might be able to get some cheap tickets off eBay or another way if it doesn't sell out.

I've heard they've got Donna Summer (the real one, not "DJ Donna Summer").

If they have that's mighty special.

[Poleski]

Think I'm going to the Saturday of it.

Booka Shade, Maceo Plex, Art Department and High Contrast will keep me entertained!

Pretty average line up though...

Question: is the sound at Lovebox as poor as it is for Field Day? I wont be going to Field Day this year (despite a killer lineup) purely based on the fact that its ruined by the noise restrictions. Thinking about going to Lovebox and hoping the situation isn't the same?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I think Hyde Park is the more generous re noise restrictions.

Clapham Common is awful for noise restrictions too... totally ruins a good festival.
