They are joined by an eclectic mix of artists including Esther Rose, Militarie Gun and Man/Woman/Chainsaw, among others.

The Alcove Stage once again spotlights the next generation of breakthrough talent, featuring a packed bill of emerging names such as mustbejohn, Solya and The Guest List, reinforcing Latitude’s reputation as a key platform for discovering future stars.

This latest announcement builds on an already impressive 20th anniversary line-up, with headliners including David Byrne, Lewis Capaldi and Teddy Swims, alongside a diverse supporting cast featuring The Flaming Lips, Wet Leg, The Last Dinner Party and Self Esteem.

Marking two decades of boundary-pushing programming, Latitude 2026 looks set to celebrate not only its past, but its continued commitment to creativity, discovery and genre-defying live performance.
