They’ll be joined at Henham Park by Alice Phoebe Lou, Billy Ocean, Dry Cleaning, English Teacher, Getdown Services, Kevin Morby, Vanessa Carlton, Florence Road, Just Mustard and Westside Cowboy. The full lineup has yet to be announced.

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 lineup 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 lineup 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.”
