Latitude Festival returns to Henham Park in Suffolk for its 20th anniversary next year, taking place July 23 to 26, and has now thrown its hat into the ring when it comes to line-up announcements ahead of the Christmas rush.
In a statement released moments ago, the festival announced its first wave of artists set to perform next year, with three huge names confirmed as next year’s headliners: David Byrne, Lewis Capaldi and Teddy Swims.
A UK festival exclusive, global icon, Academy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winner Byrne promises an unmissable performance, blending songs from his entire career—from Talking Heads to his innovative solo work. Speaking about his inclusion at Latitude next year, Byrne said:” I’m really looking forward to this. A wide-ranging festival, and well curated (looking forward to catching some of the other acts). A great day in the country. ”
It’s a sentiment echoed by Teddy Swims, who admitted to being “so excited” to be returning this year. “Twenty years of this festival is an incredible milestone, and the thought of standing on the Obelisk stage in such a beautiful setting, under open skies with all of you, gives me chills. I loved being part of Latitude in 2023, and to come back as the headliner feels like a dream."
Other acts included in the first announcement include the kaleidoscopic return of The Flaming Lips, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg, Self Esteem and more.
Speaking about the calibre of acts announced so far as part of their announcement, Melvin Benn, Latitude Founder and Festival Director, says: "Twenty years of Latitude feels like both a moment and a lifetime. We've watched this festival grow from an ambitious idea into a cultural institution that has genuinely changed what people expect from a festival experience. This first line-up announcement celebrates everything Latitude has always stood for: fearless programming, artistic ambition, and that magical collision between discovery and legacy.
“With David Byrne playing an exclusive festival set, Teddy Swims bringing his soulful energy to the festival, and Lewis Capaldi returning after his courageous journey, alongside artists ranging from The Flaming Lips to The Last Dinner Party, this line-up tells the story of where we've been and where we're going. But Latitude has never been just about music.
“The past twenty years have been extraordinary, culturally, politically, and socially, and our yet-to-be-announced comedy, theatre, dance, poetry and literary programme will dive deep into the most important artists and moments that have shaped us all. I couldn't be prouder of what we've built together, and I can't wait to celebrate with everyone at Henham Park this July."
