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

    Not liking the look of that one bit. After all this wait, and this is what we get!! Absolutely tragic!!!

    Hopefully the official Longitude announcement later today will brighten things up. The Friday and Saturday line up needs to be unreal to make up for that horsesh*te

    god that's an awful lineup. i know music is subjective and i try and respect people's tastes but i hate Mumford and Sons music, the members of the band and especially the idiot fans they attract!

    is it me or have glass animals played every festival everywhere for the past 2 years? not a fan of them either.

    bad lineups across the board, glad i'm going to glasto this year

    Mumford and Son is music for people who don't like music

    I can picture those 2 Happy Pear gob****es bobbing their heads in their plaid shirts and earnest emotions

    The same people who get actual enjoyment from singing "Who the **** is Alice" tend to enjoy Little Lion Man, I've found.

    All I can hear when I think of Mumford & Sons is that repetitive banjo and acoustic guitar getting faster in every song of theirs. And I can't differentiate between many of their songs.

    People complaining about mumford and sons at Longitude.. what do you expect? It is a catch all festival for people in their late teens and early 20s and they are wildly popular.. well at least were.

    It's fairly stark when you compare it to the Sunday line up last year. The National, Christine and the queens, Jamie xx, Roisin Murphy, fr John misty...

    Why is the line up not out yet so I can cancel out acts that won't appear at EP.

    I hope Mumford and Sons play that song where they start off slow and then play faster and faster.

    I think they should just cancel the bloody event, the bumbling eejits.

    A screenshotted Snapchat of a printed press release doing the rounds on Twitter. Aside from how fake that sounds as a source, the line-up looks about right, albeit a little short on names.

    The Weeknd, Skepta, Kaytranada, Wiley, Kaleo, Catfish & the Bottlemen, Picture This, Mac Miller, Milky Chance and a few other bits.

    EDIT: This is in addition to the Mumford & Sons, Gentlemen of the Road thing that emerged this morning btw.

    Looks like it's missing a headline act if you ask me - The Weeknd is Saturday, Mumford on Sunday. Bit of a let down after Kendrick, Major Laser and the National last year. (I'm not a Major Lazer fan but I can appreciate that he's a draw for the right crowds!)

    Well they are delightfully easy to bash- fecking banjo playing muppets.

    They played Oxygen and Ep in the same year ,hate to break it to all of yous that think if they play longitude that they won't play Ep

    Would get a day ticket if Weeknd and Skepta were both playing on the Saturday and not just Weeknd.

    Wonder who's the Friday headliner. Thought Frank Ocean would have been a headliner but he's at Lovebox on the 14th :(

    What are the chances Skepta and The Weeknd will be on the same day?? I'm surprised Skepta isn't one of the headliners tbh.
