I could not be prouder to make that commitment, or to announce it in front of our audience on the festival\u2019s 20th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cHenham Park is not just where Latitude happens. It is part of what Latitude is. The lake, the woods, the parkland. You cannot separate the festival from the place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our first year in 2006, when 4,500 people came through the gates, to this weekend\u2019s celebrations, the estate has shaped everything we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Benn said that the anniversary weekend was not solely intended as a retrospective, however, adding that Latitude would continue to prioritise emerging artists and new discoveries.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbRtFYxCHto\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis weekend was never about looking back,\u201d he said. \u201cLatitude has always been about what comes next.
