Music
Indie icons James will play a special show at this year’s Latitude in celebration of their momentous 40th Anniversary. The band will perform in Latitude’s iconic Sunday lunchtime slot complete with a full piece orchestra and a gospel choir in what promises to be a stand-out festival moment.
Fresh from her Best New Artist nomination at the Brits 2023, viral pop-powerhouse Mimi Webb also joins the Latitude bill. Weaving octave-destroying vocals, gut-wrenching ballads and confessional storytelling, an iconic performance is guaranteed!
Mercury Prize nominees Yard Act join Siouxsie and Young Fathers on the bill as the 3rd second stage headliner. The band’s debut album, The Overload, is a record which rages with Yard Act’s inimitable wit, musical dexterity and tasteful curation. Live, the band is next level. Prepare for a vibrant, energetic wall of noise!
Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor, producer and director Kiefer Sutherland makes a surprise Latitude appearance. Sutherland has successfully pulled off the gearshift from Hollywood royalty to acclaimed singer-songwriter, with his latest album Bloor Street making a huge chart impact in the UK and firing straight to #1 on both the Americana and Country charts.
Other music names appearing across the weekend include: Confidence Man, Tinariwen, Men I Trust, Dry Cleaning, Warmduscher, Teddy Swims, and many more!
