I think I speak for us all when I say we would be so happy for bodhrandude if he was announced!!!

I think at this stage we'd need to give BD the 'gimpy' type bumps politicians give each other when they get elected... In the crowd during their set!!

So we defo have got at least 1 more announcement to go, i would fully expect it to be on the Friday that ATN starts, probably rolled up with comedy announcement.

Is this a joke about Razorlight only being fit for the comedy stage or have I taken it a step too far? :P

My thoughts exactly. This feels like more of a third than second announcement. I think they'll throw in a decent dance act and some others to again hog attention.

And if by any chance Wilco are announced I really won't care if the rest of the entire line-up is cancelled.

Too soon on the Wheel of Line-ups for Underworld or Orbital?

Wouldn't mind Orbital but fed up with Underworld at this stage, they need to take a break, they headlined Latitude this year I think.

We've not had orbital in the years that i've been attending (since 2013) so why not.

I've enjoyed dipping in to the Drift series they have been putting out this year. Was thinking of ordering the boxed set when it comes out. Been eyeing up those tasty delicious new t-shirts too.

Is Latitude a Festival Republic event? I always forget which one is a good indication of the Picnic line-up - Bestival maybe? There's an EP shaped hole in their touring schedule too, I've just noticed...

drunkmonkey

Still no Little Big, can't have ATN having the only Russians to visit this year.
I'd expect there's a lot more to come, with some big names for Freetown, Apex, Chemicals, etc. Still no one announced that I'd call a real headliner.

I could be wrong but End of the Road is the only one I've noticed with any real crossover. And even then it's usually only 7/8 acts.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Little Big ends up in the new dance area.

Hopefully the gaps still there in the tour schedule.

There's a brave crossover already right enough.

Would absolutely love Beak> to be added. Saw them at Glastonbury 2016 in William's Green, where they announced themselves by saying, "Hello, we're the Inspiral Carpets!", and a lengthy comedy rant about the inaccuracies in the blurb in the festival guidebook. Fantastic tunes to back it all up. Would be perfect for Cosby/Rankin's Wood.

Agreed. Did the Strokes fleece them?

Ricosruffneck

With a possible third main announcement (razorlight etc) body and soul, comedy, more trailer park and salty dog still to announce this is amazing.

I see a lot of line ups all over the world. This is an amazing set of talent.

Genuinely believe we have the best fest in the world. Going to VIP Primavera 2020 so my opinion may change but I doubt it.

I'd say Flo-Jo & the 1975 were probably far more expensive than them

Mucker46

Have to say plenty on there to make me happier Marr, Ashcroft, otherkin (brilliant live), just mustard (saw them support NGHFB at malahide better live than on record), talos, all tvvins, somebody's child (decent set at kaleidoscope) plus more to discover doing my homework.

And still think a few more decent acts will be added.

Still no suede though

Really? From a headliners point of view it's quite strong. Big acts that are popular, is that not what a headliner is supposed to be?

I thought most people here don't go for headliners anyways.
