Klarna presents Latitude is gearing up to celebrate its landmark 20th edition at Henham Park, Suffolk, from July 23 to 26, 2026, with a massive, genre-defying lineup that honors its history of "fearless programming."
The festival, known for pioneering the mix of music with philosophy, comedy, and the arts, will be headlined by global icon David Byrne in a UK festival exclusive. The visionary artist and former Talking Heads frontman promises an unmissable performance blending songs from his extraordinary career with avant-garde dance and visual storytelling.
Joining him are two triumphant returning headliners: Lewis Capaldi and Teddy Swims. Capaldi's return marks a major, deeply personal comeback since stepping back from touring in 2023, following his unforgettable 2022 headline set. Meanwhile, American soul sensation Teddy Swims returns as a headliner, bringing his raw, heartfelt hits like "Lose Control" to the Obelisk stage.
Latitude Founder and Festival Director Melvin Benn stated that the lineup "celebrates everything Latitude has always stood for: fearless programming, artistic ambition, and that magical collision between discovery and legacy."
A Celebration of Legacy and New Voices
The first announcement is packed with artists who embody the festival's spirit:
The Flaming Lips will bring their signature psychedelic spectacles to celebrate over two decades of their iconic album, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
The Last Dinner Party return as Mercury Prize winners, fresh from the release of their defiant second album, From the Pyre.
Self Esteem (Rebecca Lucy Taylor) makes a grand return to the main stage following her acclaimed Prioritise Pleasure era, embodying empowerment and reinvention.
Wet Leg, who first made waves on the small Alcove stage in 2021, return with momentum from their new album, Moisturizer.
Pop royalty Billy Ocean and the iconic Vanessa Carlton (in a rare UK festival appearance) are set to deliver mass singalongs.
The lineup also features Tom Grennan, Tom Odell, Dry Cleaning, English Teacher, Kevin Morby, and Alex James' Britpop Classical, an orchestral celebration of 90s anthems.
Latitude promises that its full comedy, theatre, dance, poetry, and literary program—the heart of the festival—will be announced soon, diving deep into the cultural forces that have shaped the last two decades.
Tickets for the 20th Anniversary celebration are on general sale now.
