Duran Duran announced as headliners for Latitude 2024

Duran Duran are set to headline Latitude Festival 2024.

Simon Le Bon and co have made the Suffolk music extravaganza their only UK performance next summer.

Fans can expect to hear songs from their latest Halloween-themed LP ‘Danse Macabre’ and the new wave group’s greatest hits.

Bassist John Taylor said: “We are excited to be making Latitude our sole UK performance next summer. It’s a great festival, and it’s been a long time since Duran have been in that part of the country. In fact, it’s our first time ever in Suffolk. We are riding high on the reception our new Danse Macabre album has received, and looking forward to bringing music from that record, all the way back to our 1981 debut album. See you there!”

Melvin Benn, Latitude’s Festival Director, added: “Duran Duran’s fusion of artistry and innovation seamlessly resonates with Latitude’s commitment to curate a multifaceted cultural experience. Celebrated for their iconic style, ground-breaking music, and a consistent string of chart-topping hits, the band have unquestionably left their mark on both the music and fashion realms. With their ongoing evolution and the ability to transcend musical boundaries, the band’s mesmerising live performances make them an ideal fit for the Latitude festival.”

Latitude returns to Henham Park, Suffolk, from July 25 to 28, 2024.

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