The new acts added to the Alcove Stage and The Listening Post, will be joining headliners Sting, Snow Patrol, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, and Elbow and comedy stars Reggie Watts, Greg Davies, and Bridget Christie.
Melvin Benn, Festival Founder and Director, says: "Today’s announcements highlight Latitude Festival’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of creativity. From groundbreaking music to thought-provoking spoken word, this year’s lineup continues to showcase the festival's commitment to diversity and innovation. The Alcove Stage remains a vital space for emerging talent, offering an intimate platform where new artists can connect with audiences and gain the recognition they deserve. Meanwhile, The Listening Post will amplify voices that challenge, inspire, and connect, and our expanded programme in The Bookshop, in collaboration with the National Poetry Centre, Martha Kearney and Faber will provide a space where poetry, prose, and performance come together."
