Anyone know what time the announcement will be tomorrow

Theres no way in hell Daft Punk would be playing a small festival and not their own gig either, its obviously fake.

So what are peoples guess/wishes ahead of the announcement tomorrow?

District magazine predicting some of these names might appear, but I can't see a few of them being there as ATCQ are in the states that weekend, Stormzy, Rejjie Snow & Haresquead all played last year.. Maybe some of the ones at Lovebox will make an appearance, plenty of DJs on that line up that I would like to see come over.

I am going to guess Frank Ocean, the Weeknd & Mumford & Sons headlining. Hoping for London Grammar, Bonobo, Glass Animals & Warpaint to be on the line up somewhere.

I don't think the fact Stormzy played last year would cancel him out from coming back this year, especially with the incredible reception his recent album is getting (nearly number 1 in UK). His Dublin show sold out in minutes I heard. He would be a massive attraction for fans if he was on the line up.

If Stormzy does play i cant see him headlining but he could probably sub someone like The Weeknd

Latitude announced line up, I imagine a few on there might crop up, depending the vibe they're gonna go with this year

Jaysus. That isn't good at all IMO.

ghostdancer

well we definitely won't get The 1975 anyway, and can't imagine they'd have Fleet Foxes headlining Longitude, much more likely to play Iveagh Gardens or saved for EP. edit: i see they're already playing Iveagh Gardens
there's usually quite a lot of differences between the Longitude and Latitude lineups anyway, only ones I'd say are likely are Mumford, Fatboy Slim, Jack Garratt and Glass Animals.

If not Mumford & Sons, then Kasabian have a completely free weekend for Longitude, and are playing Scotland the weekend before, and Italy the weekend after. either of those, plus Frank Ocean and The Weekend I'd imagine.

a lot of the UK festivals seem to be really struggling this year, even some of the US ones too.
Isle of Wight is laughably bad, Reading & Leeds has been getting worse and worse, this Latitude one isn't great by their standards. Bestival is dull compared to their previous ones a few years ago.

Just spotted Mumford and Sons post on their site.. Lisa Hannigan also playing Latitude on the Sunday so potentially might play Longitude? Yup, 1975 and Fleet Foxes already playing Dublin gigs in the summer so don't see them being on the bill.

Lisa Hannigan is already at Forbidden Fruit

Mumford and Sons sort of fits with the Sunday line-up you get at Longitude,
usually would expect the Friday and Sat to be more chart/dance/hip-hop than the line-up
there at Latitude.

Acts playing the Sunday at Longitude will include Mumford and Sons with Baaba Maal, Glass Animals, The Very Best, Jack Garratt and Lucy Rose.

Well if I end up going, it certainly won't be to the Sunday anyway, jesus.

If they announce Frank and Bino tho it'll make up for it.

Wonder what the hold up is. The fact every media outlet is reporting on a partial leaked line up can't be good for them. Just release it.

Yeah they have. There are probably too many festivals in reality, they are all so concerned about having UK exclusives too. The standard is definitely down across the board but I'm hoping it doesn't effect Ireland too badly because we only really have 3 festivals who book big hitters (EP, Longitude & FF).

Disappointed to see Mumford & Sons playing but at least they won't be at picnic.

Yeah it's strange they haven't released it yet.
I'd be more inclined to buy tickets in the morning on a slow day in work than the afternoon.

Yeah used to be the case of seeing a festival line-up and thinking they could put on all your favourite acts on the one day. Now it's a case of seeing a few festival line-ups and thinking they could put all the decent artists at the one festival!

So we are getting the Weeknd at EP? wouldnt have expected that

Yeah and there's the adding of new artists between now and July. Get that some of them are probably late bookings depending on band's tour schedules etc but if it's deliberate attempt to flesh out the line-up and maintaining publicity, think it does the opposite..
