Bon Iver, Loyle Carner and Cradle of Filth. Bon Iver would be an amazing booking (pretty sure he's played it before), Loyle Carner feels like a possible BBC Sounds headliner?, Cradle of Filth would be nice to keep it local and it not be about Ed Sheeran for once 😋

I would say I'm a casual fan, I mostly went because my partner is a big fan, and I would say he was amazing. His voice is incredible and he does a really interesting set, reworking his more popular songs to fit his current style. Was a great show. That said he'll probably just play all the hits as people know them for a festival crowd. Also agree on Iron Sky, that was genuinely spine tingling last night. This version is my favourite of the live ones around.

Paolo Nutini confirmed as a headliner. Just seen the van outside his show tonight. https://twitter.com/cplowman/status/1585030382050844681

Maybe a BBC Sounds Stage headliner but PJ Harvey has an album due next year so imagine she might make an appearance. Death Cab For Cutie, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The 1975 and The Pixies all have albums out at the end of this year. After watching Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Brixton a few weeks back I’d be very happy with them on the bill.

Lush! Glad you enjoyed. Agree Bartees Strange was excellent. Melt Yourself Down was absolutely unreal. Charlotte Church’s Pop Dungeon was brilliant fun. Highlight today has been JOHN but f me it’s hot!!

Clashfinder is back up. Would be quite fun to see other people's schedules actually. Here is mine - https://clashfinder.com/s/latitude2022/?user=chrisplowman& Any recommendations for Sunday gratefully received, looking a little light at the minute

I've added The Listening Post on the clashfinder. Times are all over the place on the app as per so I have just made each one finish when the next one starts, which on that stage is kind of how it goes, usually with a quick poem or two in the middle.

Depends on your definition of good spot. If you mean as near to the arena as possible then be there around opening I imagine but I tend to get there around 1pm (after stopping at Two Magpies Bakery on the way. If you are driving and don't stop there you are missing an excellent start to your weekend) and don't normally queue to get in the car park, don't have a huge walk from the car park and have a good choice of camping spots in the quieter areas of the campsite. This is all kind of dependant on what the map looks like when it comes out though cause they seem to be shrinking the regular camping more and more each year.

Maybe this is why they stopped doing that, cause in my opinion she was absolutely terrible. 1. Phoebe Bridgers 2. Melt Yourself Down 3. Modest Mouse

I agree, the lineup is great for me. Only complaint is that most of the things I want to see are on Friday but that just means Sunday in particular is going to be a day of wandering around and seeing what's good, which is always fun. +1 for Gaffa Tape Sandy and caroline. caroline are on in the theatre arena so I'm hoping that means they are going to play in the round which is always cool. Porridge Radio are probably my favourite new band of the last few years, they've just announced a small show in Ipswich in September as well.

I find it odd that Lewis is on the Friday, he definitely feels like a Saturday headliner when all the day ticket families are in. That said if they had done a Phoebe Bridgers/Foals clash I would have been very mad. I'm happy with the line-up personally. I've got 16 bands on my list to see, which makes it £15 a band before I've done anything else. I'll take that.

Yeah based on Thom having played it and Sons of Kemet playing it many times they seem like a stronger bet but yeah no obvious hole in the schedule this year.

Possibly the most wishful of wishful thinking but Jack White is playing Union Chapel on 22nd July so possibly a surprise show on the Sat/Sun?! I bought my friends tickets to this yesterday, as I had priority, so I’m mostly hoping it happens as I’m going to miss a very special show.

I missed Solas last year, was always good for just popping along and finding something a bit different and the odd special guest appearance. The trailer park thing seems pretty pointless, had a quick look round it on the Thursday and didn't bother heading back.

The Friday is absolutely stacked for me, going to be some painful clashes this year I think

Happy with that. I rarely watch all the headliners so more than happy to watch other things rather than Lewis Capaldi or Snow Patrol. Foals, Maggie Rogers, Little Simz, Manics, Modest Mouse, Rina Sawayama, Los Bitchos, Phoebe Bridgers, Fontaines DC, Maximo Park, Self Esteem, Bessie Turner, Gaffa Tape Sandy, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Porridge Radio, Melt Yourself Down. That's good enough for me for the weekend on the first announcement.
