Creating the perfect soundtrack for Latitude, the music arenas are full to the brim with incredible talent. 

Latitude are very excited to announce even more up-and-coming names for The Word Arena, including Ireland’s latest singer-songwriter sensation James Vincent McMorrow. Over on the rest of the music stages you can expect to see LA collective Fool’s Gold who weave western pop aesthetics with African rhymes and melodies , the grassroots success story The Head and the Heart with their idyllic Americana and Danish solo artist and producer Oh Land.

Elsewhere throughout the weekend, festival goers can enjoy readings from leading poets and authors including Linton Kwesi Johnson, Louise Wener, Tim Key, Simon Armitage, Andrew Smith, Dave Gorman and Alexei Sayle; top comics Alan Carr, Omid Djalili, Greg Davies and a festival debut of Never Mind The Buzzcocks; exciting theatre and dance productions presented by The Gate, Flawless, Sadler’s Wells and English National Ballet to name but a few, cabaret performances from David Schneider & Friends, Will Adamsdale, Idiots of Ants; BAFTA return to the Film & Music Arena with a fantastic programme of Q&As, discussions and workshops including comedy stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon discussing their hilarious work on Michael Winterbottom’s ‘The Trip’ and Tate Britain with Nigel Barrett and Louise Mari lead a visual feast inspired by Tate Britain’s Watercolour exhibition.

With DJs, The Winter’s Ball and late night parties found throughout the site, it is a unique and special weekend of fun, culture and entertainment. An intimate world away from reality waiting to be explored and enjoyed.
