Just over 2 weeks to First Light, and just under 2 months to Latitude Festival where our New Dawn headliner MAGNOLIAband and PlayBreak headliner Like Optimists will be performing!

Catch them at First Light Festival on the Sunlight Stage, and Latitude Festival on The Alcove and Sunrise Arena!

With less than two months to go until we're back in Henham Park, we are excited to be adding 30+ more brilliant names across music, comedy, dance, conversations, theatre and more joining us for our 20th anniversary this July!

🎼Manchester art-rock quartet Everything Everything are announced as very special guests, set to play the coveted Sunday opening slot on our Obelisk Arena to mark their Latitude return.

🎼The Adam Buxton Band will open the Second Stage on Friday. A Latitude regular in every form he's taken, from the podcast tent to the Listening Post, Buxton has become one of the festival's most beloved returning voices.

🎭We are also thrilled to welcome one of the most celebrated names in contemporary British dance back to Henham Park: BalletBoyz return with their landmark 25th anniversary production Still Pointless, a thrilling, irreverent, deeply moving celebration of where the company have been and where they're going next, and a perfectly Latitude piece of full-circle programming for the festival's twentieth.

🎭Circus Zambia & Wake the Beast present Afronauts (preview), a UK debut for one of the most extraordinary new shows on the international circuit, fuses breath-taking acrobatics, theatre, choral music and spectacle into a joyous, defiant celebration of the imagination, courage and audacity of a newly independent Zambia.

🎤The Comedy Arena, by night, becomes a buzzing after-hours playground as the UK's best club nights take centre stage. Massaoke leads the charge with the world's biggest mass sing-along party, while pop sensation Guilty Pleasures invites you to surrender to the joy of feel-good floor-fillers.

🚀A brand-new area also touches down: The Virgin Radio Mothership lands in the woods, an after-hours intergalactic dancefloor that will keep Latitude airborne deep into the night. By day the ship rests among the trees; by night the doors open and some of the most distinctive voices in British radio take the controls.

Plus we have even more additions across music, comedy, science and theatre. Discover all the latest here 👉 https://tinyurl.com/yeyru7b4
