Looks like the amazons are nailed on. Not sure whereabouts they'll be on the lineup though.

 

Probably lower afternoon main stage I imagine, any other bands teasing announcements for tomorrow?

Less than 3 hours now! Headliner predictions, Chem Bros, Dido/Grimes/FKA Twigs and Supergrass/Liam Gallagher/Bombay Bicycle Club. In a dream world, Chem Bros, Dido and Sigur Ros, but if Supergrass headline that will more than knock the socks off a lot of past line-ups. Other acts I expect will be M83, Metronomy, Kaiser Chiefs, The Amazons (after their announcement), Sam Fender, R Plus, Hot Chip, FONTAINES D.C., Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Half Moon Run, POSSIBLY another Aurora reappearance, Car Seat Headrest and other acts. This is just guess work of who have been around a lot this year/last year, so just big hopes based off this...

there's no way it'll be Liam, he's doing Reading/Leeds.

True, but it wouldn't bother me at all if it means The Chemical Brothers headlining, seen them in Cardiff the other day and wow!

i'm pretty sure the Chems will be the closing act for Saturday night, but not actually the Saturday headliner

2 names; Futureheads, Bill Bailey (comedy headliner)

I reckon  snow patrol and vampire weekend as well

[theesundayroast]

Liam G, Haim and chemical brothers are 3. Just leaked on a Radio X advert 

 

Edit: I'd imagine Haim as the under-card with a CB night set. Guess we'll see at 9!

It is, heard it just as I was coming into work on a Barclycard advert!

NOW THIS IS A LINE-UP!

[zahidf]

That's pretty awful so far.

[pryce]

awful, Liam Gallagher spoils any lineup for me and I know there is other things to watch

 

its just ...ugh

[theesundayroast]

Liam really does seem to be playing everywhere this year. Happy with Haim being given a headline chance although chemical brothers would have been better off playing after a headliner like underworld last year, that worked out really well.

[evannn]

As long as Charli xcx isn’t on Sunday I’m happy with 2 evenings

[cdm22]

Why is their first announcement every year so crap?

[theesundayroast]

I wonder what festival The Amazons are announcing today then? I can't seem to think what it might be

[danjamesbaker]

This really is a woeful lineup - only positive is Haim being given a chance to headline.

Surely Liam Gallagher is not the right fit for this kind of festival?

[zeppelin]

Haha, and here I was thinking that it's a very tempting lineup already.

Do you think Liam fucked up and got the right promoter but wrong festival when he announced Reading/Leeds?

More likely I reckon is that someone realised there's plenty of mug punters for Liam so they'd better cash in while they can.

once upon a time Latitude liked to present itself as a more-cultured festival.

Then it booked Liam.  

[swelsbyuk]

I like Liam and he'll be as entertaining as ever but not sure he's a Latitude headliner. I could be wrong.

Chemical Brothers are a fab booking - suspect they wanted a 'proper' headline slot rather than the hour that Underworld got.

Haim is a weak af booking in my opinion. It's borderline hilarious to have them as a headliner. They would be better having Charli XCX on Obelisk and Haim in the tent (although I wouldn't have said they were big enough to be tent headliner either!)

[John L]

Bit surprised by the reaction here to be honest. Looks like a strong something for everyone line up to me. People need to remember Latitude isn’t some niche boutique offering these days. They have 40k tickets to shift and I think they will with this.
