The stage will be opened with live performances from Mystery Jets, Mykki Blanco and Nadia Kadek, followed by sets from Transgressive DJs.
A Transgressive spokesperson said: “We’re excited to be back at Latitude for our third annual takeover at the Sunrise Arena. Over the last two years we’ve been lucky enough to welcome unforgettable performances from Moonchild Sanelly, The New Eves, The Waeve, Young Knives, KOKOKO! and Hotwax, alongside fantastic late-night DJ sets from Erol Alkan and Let’s Eat Grandma.”

This year’s festival sees Lewis Capaldi, Teddy Swims and David Byrne headlining the main stage, marking a UK festival first for the latter.
Joining the headliners on the bill are The Flaming Lips, The Last Dinner Party, Self Esteem, Tom Grennan, Wet Leg, Alex James‘ Britpop Classical, Alice Phoebe Lou, Billy Ocean, Dry Cleaning, English Teacher, Kevin Morby, Vanessa Carlton, Florence Road, Getdown Services, Just Mustard, Keo, and Westside Cowboy.
Speaking about hitting a milestone anniversary this year, Festival Director Melvin Benn said that 20 years of Latitude felt like “both a moment and a lifetime”.
“We’ve watched this festival grow from an ambitious idea into a cultural institution that has genuinely changed what people expect from a festival experience,” he added. “This first lineup announcement celebrates everything Latitude has always stood for: fearless programming, artistic ambition, and that magical collision between discovery and legacy.
“With David Byrne playing an exclusive festival set, Teddy Swims bringing his soulful energy to the festival and Lewis Capaldi returning after his courageous journey, alongside artists ranging from The Flaming Lips to The Last Dinner Party, this lineup tells the story of where we’ve been and where we’re going.”
Last year’s instalment saw Sting, Snow Patrol and Fatboy Slim headline, with Basement Jaxx, Elbow, Maribou State, Sigrid and Clean Bandit performing.
