With the likes of Alison Goldfrapp, Lottery Winners, Frank Turner and Seasick Steve gracing our music stages, plus exciting comedians including Sam Campbell and Sean Walsh joining our comedy bill, get ready for an immersive cultural weekend with delights to discover around every corner…

Peruse the latest additions below.

Having set a towering bar for synth-pop in the 21st century, Alison Goldfrapp– the magnetic British songwriter, vocalist, performer and producer – is recognised for approaching each iteration of her stellar career from an innovative new position. Her debut solo album, “The Love Invention”, is a festival-ready dance-pop record perfect for Latitude.

Leigh-born Indie-pop band Lottery Winners are the working class underdog story of the year. With their latest album ‘Anxiety Replacement Therapy’ receiving acclaim from critics and fans alike, you won’t want to miss their set at Latitude this July.

Punk and folk singer-songwriter Frank Turner returns to Latitude in support of his forthcoming album “Undefeated”, a record that explores both emotionally compelling topics and lighter reflections on those troubles that eventually come to most of us: who you are versus who you wanted to be in your youth, life-altering love, fading friendships and wistful nostalgia.

Seasick Steve returns to Latitude, marking a triumphant homecoming for the beloved performer, who has graced the festival stage in 2008, 2011, and 2015, each time leaving an indelible mark on the audience. It’s been almost 20 years since Seasick Steve’s celebrated appearance on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny launched the songwriter to worldwide fame, and his beat-up three-string Japanese guitar and old wooden stompbox made musical history.

Blanco White, the English singer-songwriter will showcase his unique blend of folk, indie, and electronic music infused with influences from southern sun and Latin American culture. Seattle-based Richy Mitch and The Coal Miners are set to make waves at Latitude with their infectious folk-rock sound. Latitude also welcomes Myles Smith, who’s flair for relatable lyrics and irresistible melodies  has seem him amass a staggering 90 million global streams and a devoted online fanbase.

Across the weekend, BRIT nominee and the “saviour of pop” Sekou also joins the bill, alongside genre-blurring trio Beak>, and Talk Show in support of their exhilarating debut, “Effigy”. London’s own multi-talented Fabiana Palladino joins with her highly anticipated self-titled album. Also gracing the stage are NYC pop auteur Angélica Garcia, Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew, and the captivating Willie J Healey.

Copenhagen’s Clarissa Connelly, and 2023’s most thunderous breakthrough live band, Fat Dog, promise unforgettable performances. Chicago band Lifeguard will captivate with their kinetic energy. Cosmorat the US-born, London-based outfit revitalising guitar pop also joins the bill as does Bradley Simpson of The Vamps who debuts his solo project.

Taskmaster breakout star Sam Campbell also joins the Latitude bill. He won Best Newcomer and Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2015 and 2018 respectively. Campbell is currently on tour with Wobservations, his first UK tour and is already being hailed the “new king of alternative comedy”.

Seann Walsh will be joining the phenomenal comedy bill also. Described as ‘the best observational comedian of his generation’ (The Guardian), this Edinburgh Award nominee’s last UK tour show After This One, I’m Going Home ended with standing ovations around the country.

Desiree Burch, the London-based New Yorker sensation, is also gearing up for an unforgettable performance at this year’s festival. Renowned for her candid humour and sharp wit, Burch burst onto the comedy scene with her acclaimed show “Unf*ckable” in 2017.
Multi-award winning musical comedy duo Flo and Joan return to Latitude following their sell-out, critically acclaimed show, Sweet Release. Their unique, sharp-tongued style has taken them around the world with multiple sell-out tours and appearances. Renowned for her versatility as a comedian, actor, and director, Tamsyn Kelly is set to deliver an unforgettable performance that will have audiences roaring with laughter. Tim Renkow, the renowned comedian and actor celebrated for his groundbreaking portrayal of disability in the hit BBC sitcom Jerk, will also perform at Latitude.

 

Further additions to our comedy line up includes Colin Hoult, the acclaimed comedian and 2022 Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee who returns with a stand-up show about family, fatherhood, and a formative childhood experience with a Ouija board and a gorilla.
