Latitude Festival has announced the headliners for its 2026 edition – you can find all the details below.
The event is set to take place at Henham Park in Suffolk between July 23 -26 July. Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT this Wednesday (November 5) – you’ll be able to buy yours here.
Alternatively, tickets are available exclusively here for new and existing Klarna users from today (November 3) onwards.
Organisers have confirmed that Lewis Capaldi, Teddy Swims and David Byrne are the three artists headlining the main stage at next summer’s Latitude, marking a UK festival first for the latter.
News follows the Talking Heads icon announcing his new album ‘Who Is The Sky?’, which features Hayley Williams, St. Vincent, and more. “Really looking forward to this,” he said of his slot. “A wide-ranging festival, and well curated (looking forward to catching some of the other acts). A great day in the country.”

As for Swims’ return to Latitude, the ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2)’, singer said 20 years of the festival was “an incredible milestone”, and said “the thought of standing on the Obelisk stage in such a beautiful setting, under open skies with all of you, gives me chills. I loved being part of Latitude in 2023, and to come back as the headliner feels like a dream.”
Capaldi, meanwhile, will be stepping back onto the stage after he was forced to cut his set at Glastonbury 2023 short after struggling with tics caused by Tourette’s. He later announced he was planning to take some time off to focus on his health, and made his comeback with a series of UK live shows, which marked his first tour dates in two years.
Joining the headliners on the bill are The Flaming Lips, The Last Dinner Party, Self Esteem, Tom Grennan, Wet Leg, Alex James‘ Britpop Classical, Alice Phoebe Lou, Billy Ocean, Dry Cleaning, English Teacher, Kevin Morby, Vanessa Carlton, Florence Road, Getdown Services, Just Mustard, Keo, and Westside Cowboy, with more names set to be announced.

Speaking about hitting a milestone anniversary next year, Festival Director Melvin Benn said that 20 years of Latitude felt like “both a moment and a lifetime”.
“We’ve watched this festival grow from an ambitious idea into a cultural institution that has genuinely changed what people expect from a festival experience,” he added. “This first lineup announcement celebrates everything Latitude has always stood for: fearless programming, artistic ambition, and that magical collision between discovery and legacy.
“With David Byrne playing an exclusive festival set, Teddy Swims bringing his soulful energy to the festival and Lewis Capaldi returning after his courageous journey, alongside artists ranging from The Flaming Lips to The Last Dinner Party, this lineup tells the story of where we’ve been and where we’re going.”
Last year’s instalment saw Sting, Snow Patrol and Fatboy Slim headline, with Basement Jaxx, Elbow, Maribou State, Sigrid and Clean Bandit performing.
