With festival news season really underway now Latitude Festival has released its largest set of names so far. The already announced headliners Kasabian, Duran Duran, London Grammar, and Keane are joined by the usual eclectic mix of new and old, and various styles, including a female only headliners’ list for the Comedy stage.
First though, the music. Joining the Obelisk Arena line-up are The Vaccines, who will no doubt be rolling out tunes from their recent album; Waxahatchee, with her highly anticipated new album out soon; country-pop favourite CMAT; hair-rock purveyors The Darkness and pop sensation Baby Queen.
Fresh off a UK headlining tour Lankum, 90s survivors Ash, dynamic rockers Future Islands, X-Fileser-turned-musician David Duchovny, indie-folk fave Marika Hackman, and bringing her extremely highly rated Black Rainbows to Henham Park, Corinne Bailey Rae.
Alongside a bunch of other music acts is the Comedy and Literature side of Latitude. With the likes of Dr John Cooper Clarke, Robin Ince, Pappy’s, Joelle Taylor, London City Ballet, and the National Youth Dance Company for starters, there will be no lack of variety in Suffolk in July. Joining previously announce Sara Pascoe at the Comedy Arena (presented by TK Maxx?!??!!!) are fellow headliners Jo Brand, Joanne McNally and Judi Love. With Grace Campbell, Lucy Beaumont and Rosie Jones also added it’s an impressive list of the best non-male British comedy talent around.
All in all an excellent announcement from Latitude to fill the gaps for those not interested in just seeing headliners and experiencing all the festival has to offer.
Tickets are on sale now on the Latitude website, you can also see the full line-up there.
