Check out the full announcement below.
We’re ecstatic to have UK singer-songwriter sensation Lewis Capaldi make his Latitude debut. Lewis exploded onto the scene back in 2019 with his debut album. His single ‘Someone You Loved’ was the longest running top 10 single of all time by a British artist. He’s had many more hits since: ‘Before You Go’, ‘Grace’ and ‘Bruises’ to name a few.
Plus he’s working on a new album due to be released this year, meaning new tracks could well feature in Lewis’s headline show!
Indie rock champions Foals will be returning to headline Latitude for the first time since 2013. They’ve had quite a journey since then: their last album ‘Everything Not Will Be Lost – Part 2’ went straight to number one, and they bagged a Brit Award for Best Group in 2020.
They’ve also just released two stellar new tracks from upcoming seventh album, ‘Life Is Yours’. We can’t wait to welcome them back to Henham Park!
Foals said: “We’re honoured & thrilled to be headlining Latitude this year. It’s especially significant to us as our first ever festival headline set was at Latitude almost ten years ago and we remember the rush of that show like it’s today; it felt like being handed the controls to a jumbo jet at 35k feet…Latitude helped us and many other great UK bands realise their potential. We couldn’t be happier to come back on the Saturday night to remind everyone & ourselves how powerful & euphoric live music can be.”
The mighty Snow Patrol headlined the first ever Latitude in 2006 – and are now making their triumphant return after 16 years! It’s been a long wait, but we know their headline set will be more than worth it.
‘Run’, ‘Chasing Cars’ and ‘Open Your Eyes’ are just some of the classics from the band’s impressive catalogue, so prepare for a set full of sing-a-longs!
Snow Patrol said: “We are so delighted to be back playing Latitude once again. We headlined the very first one in 2006 and we’re so honoured to be asked to headline once again. It’s one of the best festivals in the UK and we can’t wait.”
And that’s just the start. We have a whole host of music names coming to the Obelisk Arena to wow us all.
