Latitude Festival reveals 2026 headliners ahead of 20th anniversary celebration

Latitude Festival has unveiled the first wave of artists for its 20th anniversary edition, returning to Henham Park, Suffolk, from the 23rd to the 26th of July 2026.

This milestone year sees Latitude honour its reputation as one of the UK’s most creative and genre-blending festivals. Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne tops the bill in a UK festival exclusive, bringing his visionary live show to Suffolk. Joining him are Lewis Capaldi, who returns following his huge chart success, and soul-pop favourite Teddy Swims.

Also announced are The Flaming Lips, The Last Dinner Party, Self Esteem, Billy Ocean, Alex James’ Britpop Classical, Vanessa Carlton, Dry Cleaning, Kevin Morby, Alice Phoebe Lou, Florence Road, and Getdown Services, spanning everything from alt-rock to art-pop, soul, and indie experimentation.

Festival founder Melvin Benn reflected on the landmark moment, saying: 

“Twenty years of Latitude feels like both a moment and a lifetime. We’ve watched this festival grow from an ambitious idea into a cultural institution that’s changed what people expect from a festival experience. This first announcement celebrates everything Latitude stands for: fearless programming, artistic ambition, and that magical collision between discovery and legacy.”

As always, Latitude’s blend of music, comedy, arts, and family entertainment will take over Henham Park for one of the most atmospheric weekends on the summer calendar.
