Rock band Snow Patrol and DJ Fatboy Slim will join Sting as headliners for Latitude Festival 2025!

Latitude returns to the grounds of Henham Park, Suffolk, from July 24th to 27th, 2025.

Festival-goers can look forward to a weekend of exploration and discovery, featuring a rich mix of artists across various genres.

Having played at the inaugural Latitude in 2006, Snow Patrol are set to close the 2025 edition, having last headlined in 2022, joined by Ed Sheeran.

It follows the success of their second UK No. 1 album, The Forest Is The Path, in 2023- 18 years after their first chart-topper, Eyes Open.

Known for classics like "Chasing Cars," "Take Back the City," and "Crack the Shutters", as they approach their 30th anniversary.

Snow Patrol said, “We are delighted to play Latitude again! We’ve had so many amazing memories from playing there in the past.

"We performed at the very first one and we’re excited to get back to Latitude again for the third time.

"See you all there!”

There'll also be gourmet food, relaxing wellness treatments, family-friendly activities, and counter-cultural club nights available during the weekend.

Latitude Festival Director, Melvin Benn, said: “Latitude 2025 is shaping up to be one of our most unforgettable editions yet.

"Bringing together iconic artists like Sting, Snow Patrol, and Fatboy Slim guarantees a weekend of incredible music and unique performances.

"We’ve always aimed to deliver a festival experience that blends artistic exploration and cultural enrichment, and this year’s line-up reflects that perfectly.”

Fatboy Slim is also set to return to Latitude, where he last played on the second stage in 2017.

He’ll take the main stage to celebrate 30 years as a DJ.

Norman Cook, AKA Fat Boy Slim, said: “I'm honoured that Latitude has invited me back, this time to headline the main stage.

"It's a big tick on my bucket list.

"I can't wait to be at the helm of the collective euphoria the great people of Suffolk and I can create.”

17-time Grammy Award-winning artist Sting will headline the festival- announced last month- accompanied by virtuoso guitarist Dominic Miller and dynamic drummer Chris Maas (of Mumford & Sons).

His STING 3.0 shows offer a fresh dynamic, featuring beloved classics from The Police and new material.

Following its successful launch at Radio 2 in the Park, the STING 3.0 Tour has received rave reviews.

Mr Benn added, “We’re thrilled to welcome Sting to Latitude 2025.

"His unparalleled artistry and the new direction of the STING 3.0 shows align perfectly with Latitude’s mission to deliver a rich cultural experience.

"Sting’s ability to transcend musical genres makes him an exceptional addition to our line-up.”

Tickets go on sale at 10am this Wednesday (October 30th), with more announcements expected in November.
