The Vaccines, CMAT, Marika Hackman and more set for Latitude 2024

The Vaccines, CMAT, Marika Hackman, and more have been added to the line-up for Barclaycard presents Latitude 2024.

The family-friendly festival returns to Henham Park, Suffolk, from July 25 to 28, 2024.

After headliners Duran Duran, Kasabian, Keane, London Grammar, and Sara Pascoe were unveiled, further names have been confirmed.

Indie rockers The Vaccines – who last performed in 2021 – said: “The last time we played Latitude, it felt almost transcendent. a secret gig in the tent, and our first back since COVID, that brought tears of joy to our eyes! I can only imagine that watching the sun go down from the main stage as we play on Friday evening will feel just as special. We can’t wait to come back!“

Future Islands, Lankum, Jockstrap, Ash, Caity Baser, The Darkness, Waxahatchee, Corinne Bailey Rae, David Ducovony, BC Camplight, and Baby Queen are also among the new additions.

The Darkness shared their own hilarious poem about the joys of the festival, writing: “People of the flat lands, we are returned to our home!

Celebrate with us at Latitude as we project both the rock and the roll in outrageous quantities.

You will sip finest faux champagne and nibble on vegan turnip burgers.

You will wonder at our outrageous costumes.

You will weep at the loudness of our songs.

You will cry at the flashingness of our lights.

And then you will retire to your Hopi Tipi, replete.

What could be better than that?

See you in the fields, thrill-seekers!”

A stellar comedy bill has also been revealed, including Jo Brand, Judi Love and Joanne McNally join previously announced Sara Pascoe as headliners alongside Lucy Beamont, Grace Campbell, Laura Smyth, Mark Simmons, Sarah Keyworth, Sophie Duker, The Comedy Store and The Horne Section.

Tickets for Latitude are on sale now via www.latitudefestival.com/tickets.
