See Thom Yorke playing solo last year is exactly why I think Radiohead might be a possibility, kinda like his solo performance was a precursor to a full on 'head performance, in the same way Grinderman played in '08 and The Nick headlined last year...it makes perfect sense! Alas, I don't think it'll happen...

Forgive me for being predantic, but anyone know what time on Tuesday the line-up will be announced?

the last couple of years its been 7pm

theres been confirmation on radio 1, i think.

but it hasnt been the full line up, the 3 headliners a couple of the uncut headliners and a couple of the other acts.

it's a drip, drip of information with latitude. or at least, it has been in the past!

Gorillaz would be a good headliner methinks although I hardly dare to dream.

Can see British Sea Power playing as well seeing that they've got a new album due out this year. Probably not a universally loved idea however I'd really like to see Biffy Clyro as well.

From those that have been mentioned

Yeasayer album is great and they were superb at Birmingham a couple of weeks back. Would definately get tickets to Latitude this year if a few of

Yeasayer, The National, British Sea Power, Gorillaz, the xx, maccabees, TV on the Radio

you know that sort of thing along with a couple of bigger names.

Lets hope the announcement this year is handled better than last year which was officially shiete

I heard Kristin Hersh is playing, thats all the incentive I need to go though some of the above would be cool too

Kristin Hersh? Where did you hear that - and does that mean she might do some other dates in the UK? :P

She mentioned it on her Facebook page, along with a Gateshead appearance. Plus an announcement on the 11th I think, bound to be a few more dates :P

If PJ Harvey were there too I'd be in heaven

excited about the lineup today..hoping for half decent lineup.

In the past thats what I have said but after last years announcement and feeling quite peeped off it all turned out ok. Didn't see one main stage headliner (bit gutted I missed Nick Cave but daughter sore feet ment I volunteered to go bck to tent!) but still had a fantastic weekend. There s so much to do and see the biggest disappointment is what you have missed!!

I'm still hoping for a good announcement but wont feel too disappointed if its not to my taste. Spent to much time last year getting pissed off with Grace Jones and PSB. Just going to enjoy the build up this year!! :P

Is the line-up announced on their website, or must we endure Mr Lowe?

last year, i think it was simultaneous

you could log on to the official latitude website, theyve got almost instant updates

i dont think it is all written

last year, as i remember, they simply aounced the headliners, the 2nd headliners and the uncut headliners.

there is a very similar drip srip feel about the line up, or was

i think its about creating the vibe, rather than people just going for the music

the headliners certainly didnt make me go last year, the place itself did.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
