Latitude festival headliners announced

The three-day festival takes place in Suffolk from July 14-17.

This year’s festival will explore the theme ‘Love Thy Neighbour’ – a subject that has dominated the headlines, from the Europe-wide migrant crisis and the refugee crisis in Calais to the protests against gentrification in Brixton and Brick Lane in London last year.

Felix White of The Maccabees is looking forward to the band’s first opportunity to headline a major festival. The south London five piece climb to the top of the bill to cap a remarkable twelve months that has seen them score their first number one album with the acclaimed ‘Marks To Prove It’ last July, and crowned as Best British Band at last month’s NME Awards.

Said White: “Latitude is the first major headline slot in our fourteen year existence and the culmination of the year spent touring ‘Marks To Prove It’. We’re intending on it being a celebration of it all.”

British all-time greats, New Order, who took the world by surprise with the release of ‘Music Complete’ last year are set to provide a spectacular closing performance for Latitude 2016.

Other acts set to appear include Chvrches, Frightened Rabbit, and Of Monsters and Men.

Adult weekend tickets cost £197.50, plus an £8 booking fee per ticket. Accompanied teen weekend tickets (13-15 years) cost £132.50 plus an £8 booking fee per ticket.
