It has been reported that there were huge queues for the Film and Music Arena to see comic star Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon talk about their TV series The Trip, answering questions from screenwriter Richard Curtis.

Latitude is renowned for its hugely diverse line-up, with leading names from the worlds of comedy, theatre, film, art, literature, poetry, cabaret, fashion and dance appearing on the 18 stages and areas throughout this weekend.

Organiser Festival Republic has said that it expects to make a profit from the festival for the first time this year.

Latitude Festival live streaming is available online.

Headline performances come from The National (Friday 15th), Paolo Nutini (Saturday 16th) and Suede (Sunday 17th). Also set to appear over the weekend are Bombay Bicycle Club, Foals, Eels, Paloma Faith, My Morning Jacket, Bright Eyes, Glasvegas, Lykke Li, KT Tunstall and The Vaccines.

More additions announced this week to the Film & Music Arena include The Hidden Cameras, and Future Cinema presents Old Boy: The Live Film experience featuring Guillemots. On Saturday night, festival goers will see The Faraway Forest transformed into a Narnian adventure for The Winter’s Ball.

Latitude Festival tickets are still available.

The Black Horse and the Cherry Tree singer was leaving the UK when she set the rumour mill in motion with a teaser tweet to her loyal online following.

She said: “On my way to the airport. Solo. Embarking on US solo tour. Hope Han Solo is the pilot. But before I leave…I have some stupidly exciting news for you. Can you guess?”

The St. Andrews star, who married drummer Luke Bullen in 2008, has since admitted she is looking forward to a family so when Twitter fans heard of the “stupidly exciting news”, speculation over the possible new addition to the Tunstall household began.

One Twitter fans said: “I’m not going to guess…I’m here waiting patiently, this smells like pregnancy.”

However, it turns out the only thing KT and hubby Luke have made is a “sound baby” as the singer announced that the couple have been working together on her latest release – an EP called The Scarlet Tulip.

Responding to her curious Twitter fans, she said: “Ha! No, not up the duff.

“I’ve been working hard in honour of your ears. I made you a sound baby. The Scarlet Tulip EP was lovingly recorded in our solar-powered studio in the woods by his royal hotness Luke Bullen – boy done good!”

A digital version of the album which includes seven new songs, was released on April 11 and a CD and vinyl version will follow on May 1.
