From Stereoboard:

"M83 will return to the UK on July 17 for an appearance at Latitude Festival. The band will also hit the road for a North American tour this spring."

Sunday night headliners?

They played 3 down on the word arena (now 6music) in 2012 after HUWD (although I think they were meant to be 4th after Explosions in the Sky pulled out? That flawless run of St Vincent -> Battles -> M83 -> EitS was why I bought a ticket), so probably 6music sub now. Maybe headline.

well, I've seen it, and Latitude-ers will probably find it to their liking.

(and no, you won't get further comment from me ... embargo'd, and I play by the rules).

They seem to be sub-headliners now (at BBK for example) so maybe sub head if not headlining?

Cool. Sounds promising. Sounds National-esque

Nah I don't see it, not on the mainstage anyway. They'd be 3rd on Obelisk I reckon, and either headline or sub 6music.

Any idea on where and what time announcement will be made - Lauren again, or just on official website/FB?

I know what time the embargo ends and we're able to publish, but I don't know if it'll get announced elsewhere before that.

And I'm not going to say when the embargo ends - sorry - because I once got told off (by another fest) for revealing that info, because (it was claimed) that's part of the embargo too.

I'd guess if Latitude are happy to people to know that info, they'd reveal it themselves.

Sorry to not be forthcoming with the info about that, but if we piss them off by saying stuff we shouldn't they won't send us the info early.

No worries - was just a general enquiry - not trying to pry or put u in an awkward situation.

Totally understand ur position.

glad to hear positive things so far!

I think headlining 6music for sure

Got time for a Radiohead confirmation whilst you're here Neil? @eFestivals 

Wonderful, thanks

Sounds like they are waiting for one of the headliners to announce a tour or to release the information themselves.

Oooooo what a tease! Exciting times.

Just quickly guys only been once, does anyone know if it usually sells out quickly?

I got my ticket on the release date last time so didn't take notice. 

[mercury]

it hasn't sold out until a day or two before in the last couple of years, if at all.

[Tuna]

Yep, you'll be fine for a couple of months yet. Unless the lineup really is staggering. Day tickets might shift quickly for certain acts, but you'll be fine for the weekend.

[Mezhyp1]

It'll be announced at 9am tomorrow morning.

You bloody tease Neil !

TBH after the great time I had last year with the family I booked my tickets in December, I just know the lineup wont let me down.

[mercury]

now neil has confirmed the press release is out under an embargo, it wouldn't surprise me if we got some names leaked today. local newspapers are particularly bad for leaking stuff early - it might be worth keeping an eye on them and twitter!

[Jacko45]

Guys sorry for more questions just so much gone on since my first Latitude in 2014.

Like other Festivals do you have to pay extra for Thursday as an "Early Bird"??

I simply can't remember.

Standard weekend ticket is Thursday - Sun. Don't think there's any early birds
