Latitude Festival has unveiled a massive wave of multi-disciplinary artists for its landmark 20th anniversary edition, running from 23 to 26 July 2026 at Henham Park. The new additions join previously confirmed headliners David Byrne, Lewis Capaldi, and Teddy Swims across the festival's celebrated cross-arts programme, with final weekend and day tickets on sale now.
Art-rock quartet Everything Everything will return to the festival as Very Special Guests, opening the Sunday lineup on the main Obelisk Arena. The booking marks a full-circle moment for the band, who first appeared at Henham Park in 2011. Now seven albums deep, the group is currently touring the tenth anniversary of their seminal album, Get to Heaven.
The Second Stage features a comedy-to-music pivot with Friday openers The Adam Buxton Band, led by the beloved podcaster alongside Metronomy's Joe Mount. Rising theatrical indie-rock singer-songwriter Matt-Felix will open the same stage on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Sunrise Arena introduces new talent including soul artist Olympia Vitalis, Scottish Music Awards winner James Emmanuel, Arkayla, and Suffolk alternative outfit Like Optimists. The Alcove stage will host eclectic sets from Aimée Fatale, Irish five-piece THEATRE, Australian pop-rock duo The Heart Shaped Aces, Clara Mann, MAGNOLIA, Tracey Nelson, and Just Alice.
The anniversary event also introduces a brand-new late-night woodland dancefloor, The Virgin Radio Mothership, featuring DJ sets from prominent broadcasters Goldierocks and Emma B & Edie. Other late-night entertainment includes the Ronnie Scott's-style Late Night In The Alcove jazz club, mass sing-along party Massaoke, and floor-filler club night Guilty Pleasures.
The festival's renowned arts programming features Anatomy of Survival in the Theatre Arena, a darkly funny psychological piece presented by The Place. Renowned contemporary dance company BalletBoyz will return via their long-standing Sadler's Wells partnership to perform their 25th anniversary production, Still Pointless. Joining them is Circus Zambia & Wake the Beast presenting Afronauts, an acrobatic and choral spectacle celebrating Zambia's historic 1964 space race attempt.
The Comedy Arena adds firepower with Funny Women Champion Thanyia Moore as MC, alongside Houston-born comedian Kemah Bob, and Australian storyteller Lewis Garnham. The iconic Comedy Store Players will also return for their celebrated masterclass in improvised comedy. Finally, the Cosmic Shambles Forest of Science and Culture has expanded its weekend program to include Singaporean comedian Sam See, zoologist Dr. Jess French, and forensic botanist Dr. Mark Spencer.
