It's unannounced, I'm assuming that'll come in the second announcement. 

The PR specifies Grimes and OM&M as headliners, whereas Kurt Vile is listed below even Miike Snow. 

damn, now you have me curious

im gonna guess jamie xx then

The eFestivals news article says Courtney Barnett b2b with Father John Misty, which has piqued my interest.

That's exactly what is says in the press release. I'm not really sure if that means literally or if its just PR lingo for 'one after the other' that's been misconstrued. 

EDIT: All up online now anyway. Top of page 3 for that bit.

I reckon he's too big for that now, but I imagine it'll be someone similar in sound if they're up against The National

Extremely happy with that Lineup! I was hoping for Massive + YF as headliners but that undercard is so strong, I don't care anymore.

Hmmm interesting 

[cdm22]

Headliners are a bit average but the undercard isn't bad at all!

Perfume Genius/Father John Misty clash would suck.

For sure.

I wish they had the Other Voices stage again because Perfume Genius would be the type of act to play there and it would be wonderful.

Father John Misty at Coachella was fucking spectacular and I think unmissable 

[dirty_dog]

that Saturday lineup is a bit special, Nathaniel Rateliff, Daughter, John Grant, Chvrches and The National

Guys, how many more mainstage/6 music acts to be announced in the coming months?

They seemed to be loads released after the initial announcement in 2014...

Hoping for a few more gems. 

[Rock_and/or_Roll]

If Titus Andronicus got added it would be amazing. Not sure they're a "Latitude Band" though, or where they would fit. Maybe Sunrise on Friday; after Protomartyr.

Yikes £85 for a day ticket!!

Ticket prices have actually gone up since this morning, especially on SEE, which is completely unfair IMO. Festicket is currently a bit cheaper - https://www.festicket.com/packages/latitude-2016/?buy=tickets

Should be a few more announced around the end of April.

A bit annoying that Other Voices stage isnt there this year because I think that stole the show last year 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Don't they normally have a sizeable comedy line-up? Can't see that anywhere - or does it come later?

Mentioned on Twitter it will be revealed towards the end of March.

[suttttttt]

So with the news that Kurt Vile and the violators won't be headlining the BBC 6 stage- who do we think could be in the running?

[livemusicfan]

Couple of observations:

Is Other Voices defo not back this year? There is no Comedy/Caberet or Lake Stage line up as yet so could be announced later...

Also does the line up seem a bit skewed. I'm liking the Obelisk, but a lot of acts on there I would expect to be 6Music headliners or subs - British Sea Power, John Grant, Father John Misty, M83 (I could go on)

While the 6music tent is (to me) pretty uninspiring. If you look at Festival No 6 for example there are many more 6Music 'Friendly' acts that would seem a good fit for Latitude: CJ Duncan, Gwenno, Django Django, Blossoms and Lucy Rose, Roisin Murphy.

Just my twopenneth, but I do feel they have missed a trick

Totally agree, British Sea Power on the mainstage? Really?

Lots seem happy so I won't bang on about it too much, just looks pretty which in comparison to lots of festivals this summer. 

I'm still incredibly excited. 

[oneoftherest]

Love Beirut, never knew they were that big though hahaha

[PDAD]

I agree that the 6music stage is not overly amazing compared to the Obelisk. But that Obelisk line-up is something to behold, especially on the Saturday.

Yeah don't mind Beirut but sub-headlining seems very strange.

One or two bands could still slot in after them. That stage/day can't be full.

I can't see any bands slotting in above Beirut. That would also push down FJM from third main, and I can't see him playing lower than that.
