Tim Burgess and James Acaster join Latitude Festival lineup

There's been yet another additional to the lineup for 2023's Latitude Festival, with Tim Burgess and James Acaster to both make an appearance.

The Charlatans lead singer will bring his 'Listening Party' to the festival in celebration of Temps' debut album PARTY GATOR PURGATORY.

Temps is a 40-strong international musical collective devised and produced by comedian James Acaster.

“I became completely obsessed with this project,” says Acaster, “It was all I focussed on for two years and we ended up making my favourite thing ever. I hope people enjoy it.”

Burgess started his listening parties during the pandemic on Twitter, as a way to bring music fans together to listen live to albums from bands both old and new.

Later this year Listening Party will be brought to life in a new show on Absolute Radio.

Tim said: "We did the first ever Listening Party Live at Latitude so it’s brilliant to be heading back there - Party Gator Purgatory is a mind blowing project and I can’t wait to share the stage with James Acaster to find out all about it"

This year's edition of Suffolk's Latitude will also host Siouxsie Sioux, The Kooks, Metronomy, Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, Black Midi and The Lightning Seeds as part of its music line-up.

Ed Gamble, Bridget Christie, Sara Pascoe and Romesh Ranganathan are among names joining the comedy lineup.
