They will be joined by rock band Reverend And The Makers, musical trio Mary In The Junkyard, indie rockers Picture Parlour and punk outfit University.

Duran Duran were the first act added to the 2024 line-up in November, with bassist John Taylor saying the festival will be their “sole UK performance next summer”.
It will be the first Latitude appearance for Kasabian, and the group of vocalist Serge Pizzorno, bassist Chris Edwards, drummer Ian Matthews and guitarist Tim Carter, said: “It’s going to be massive.
“We can’t wait to give you the show of your lives. See you in the summer.”
Also making their Latitude debut will be English indie pop band London Grammar, fronted by Hannah Reid.
The group said: “It is a beautiful opportunity to play the festival for the very first time, which is so well loved.
“It’s also a chance for us to perform new music that we have been creating, and we can’t wait to share it at Latitude.”
Tim Rice-Oxley, from Keane added: “We were gutted when we missed out on playing at Latitude when it was cancelled in 2020 – so we’re over the moon to finally be playing there next year.
“It’s a legendary festival and we can’t wait to be there.”
Latitude director Melvin Benn said of the 2024 festival: “Having Duran Duran, Kasabian, London Grammar, Keane, and Sara Pascoe leading the line-up at this year’s Latitude Festival truly epitomises our vision for a diverse and dynamic program.
“Each performer brings their unique energy and style to the bill, promising an unforgettable experience for our audience.
“We strive to create a space where art and music converge in the most extraordinary ways, and this year’s music headliners capture the essence of that vision.”
