More acts have been announced for this year's Latitude Festival.

The annual festival returns to Suffolk's Henham Park from July 25th –28th.

Previously announced headliners include Duran Duran, Kasabian, Keane and London Grammar.

They will be joined by a number of acts who've been announced today.

These include The Darkness, John Cooper Clarke and Corinne Bailey Rae, whilst Jo Brand, Judi Love and Joanne McNally are set to join Sara Pascoe as comedy headliners.

Rock band The Vaccines are also returning to the festival, having previously performed there in 2015 and 2021: “The last time we played Latitude, it felt almost transcendent. A secret gig in the tent, and our first back since Covid, that brought a tear of joy to our eyes!”

“I can only imagine that watching the sun go down from the main stage as we play on Friday evening will feel just as special. We can’t wait to come back!”

Suffolk band, The Darkness, will also perform celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, with them saying, “We are returned to our home!”

As well as music and comedy acts, The Waterfront stage will see the return of London City Ballet who announced it is set to take the stage again nearly 30 years after it ended operations.

Christopher Marney, Artistic Director of London City Ballet, said Latitude feels like “the perfect fit for our acclaimed dancers and our new vision.”
