Festival line-up update: Lovebox, Latitude, ATP and more

By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 17 April 2013

Chosen at random to lead today’s busy FLUU parade is Lovebox, as has capped its 2013 line-up via the addition of headliners-at-large Azealia Banks, Goldfrapp and Plan B. “Lovebox at Victoria Park! My home crowd of East London right on my doorstep – I can’t wait”, raves avid Londoner Plan B, whilst errant Harlem-ite Azealia adds: “I can’t wait to play Lovebox. I love UK crowds so it’s going to be amazing to play a festival in London”.

Moving away from London to Suffolk’s Latitude, and artist add-ons c/o new guests Grizzly Bear, John Grant, Rudimental, British Sea Power, Tim Burgess and Ed Harcourt. They all align geometrically with Bloc Party, Kraftwerk, Foals, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Hot Chip and Cat Power.

Oh, and there’s a lot going on at ATP’s assorted alt-fests, perhaps most notably at the promotions co’s first ever Icelandic event. Headlined by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, the two-day saga will also feature Thee Oh Sees, The Fall, Deerhoof and Chelsea Light Moving. Nice.

And with that, it’s on again to the real crux of all this, aka the actual FLUUs. And here they are:
