Opposites attract

As bonkers festival bills go, this year's GuilFest is shaping up to take the biscuit. Among the latest additions are Peter Andre and Public Image Ltd - with the latter likely to go head-to-head with James Blunt on the Sunday...

That said, strange things seem to be afoot at Latitude too. Traditionally the preserve of respectable indie and folk, the festival's selection of headliners this year is curious. The National yes - but Suede and, significantly more bafflingly, Paolo Nutini?! Still, Deerhunter, Bright Eyes and a handful of others will be on hand for the benefit of attendees in full possession of their critical faculties.
