About Latitude 2026
Latitude turned twenty in 2026, and spent the weekend of July 23–26 doing what it has always done at Henham Park: put a pop bill on the Obelisk Arena and let the rest of the estate get strange. David Byrne headlined the Friday, Teddy Swims the Saturday, Lewis Capaldi the Sunday, with Self Esteem, Dry Cleaning, The Last Dinner Party, David Gray, Billy Ocean and Tom Odell under them.
The good stuff was spread wide. The Flaming Lips, Wet Leg and Tom Grennan took the Second Stage, Sports Team and Swim Deep played The Alcove, Mystery Jets and Mykki Blanco turned up in the Sunrise Arena, and the Faber Alt x BBC Introducing stage ran 45 sets of people most of the field had not heard of yet. Latitude also runs comedy, theatre and poetry arenas; those are a different kind of bill and are not listed here.
Expect alternative, pop, indie rock and soul across 187 acts.

A tattooed Georgian with a genuinely enormous soul voice, who covered his way to a following and then wrote the heartbreak records to match.
SoulPopR&B
Scotland's self-deprecating balladeer, who fills arenas with heartbreak delivered between stand-up-quality banter.
Pop
Gok Wan
The television stylist with a real second career behind the decks, playing precisely the disco set you would hope for.
HouseDisco
The Adam Buxton Band
Birmingham lads making festival-ready indie rock singalongs, with lager-in-the-air choruses in the great British tradition, a rising band already at home on big stages.
Indie rock
Diles Que No Me Maten
Mexico City band pushing noise rock toward free improvisation, with long pieces that lurch between locked motorik pulse and outright squall.
Experimental
Brighton's wonky-pop quartet play groove-led indie with a wink: disco basslines under deadpan observations, art-school playfulness with proper hooks.
Indie pop
Berlin-via-Cape Town dream-folk: honeyed, unhurried songs that grew from street-performance beginnings into a quietly devoted worldwide fanbase.
Indie-folkDream-pop
Deadpan spoken-word over wiry post-punk: Florence Shaw's found-text poetry is delivered motionless while the band churns behind her.
Post-punkArt rock
Irish indie four-piece with harmony-rich guitar pop on a steep rise, carrying the Cranberries torch for a new generation.
Indie rock
Sixties soul sung straight, with no wink, and a falsetto so period-correct that the Daptone-school arrangements almost feel like the modern part.
SoulR&B
The Scottish postman whose sea shanty took over the internet, now out in front of a full band.
Folk-popSea-shanty
Theatrical London five-piece who arrived fully formed, with corsetry, harpsichord flourishes, and songs big enough to justify both, 'Nothing Matters' the proof.
Baroque popArt rock
Diaristic pop with the edges left sharp: songs about wanting someone written with enough self-awareness to make the wanting funny.
PopIndie pop
Tom Grennan
A rasping pop voice out of Bedford that went festival-sized quickly and now plays like it always was.

Cian Ducrot
An Irish songwriter with a conservatoire training behind him and a plain, enormous ballad voice in front.
PopSinger-songwriter
Manchester's buzzy new guitar gang are scrappy, hook-first and rising fast on word of mouth, and the hype is earning itself.
Indie rock
Vanessa Carlton
Piano pop with a long tail: 'A Thousand Miles' is inescapable, and the records after it went quieter and stranger.
PopPiano-pop
Irish shoegaze that scrapes and shivers, with beauty engineered from dread, guitars processed until they sound like machinery grieving.
ShoegazeNoise
Billy Ocean
Trinidad-born and London-raised, with a run of eighties soul pop singles that have never once left the radio.
SoulPop
YouTuber-turned-legitimate indie rocker who is wry, anthemic, and self-aware, with a built-in audience now singing real choruses.
Indie rock
Piano ballads sung at full throat: one enormous heartbreak single and a catalogue that keeps getting starker, braver by the record.
Singer-songwriterPop
Scotland's beloved kitchen-sink psychedelicists, reunited: 'Dry the Rain' at last, and the High Fidelity scene made flesh.
FolktronicaPsych
Deadpan, hook-loaded post-punk: the Isle of Wight duo grown into a full-blast rock band, with 'Chaise Longue' just the opening joke.
Post-punkIndie rock
Manchester art rock built on falsetto and dense, tumbling wordplay, cleverer than it has any need to be.
Art-rockIndie-rock
Matt-Felix
Alex James Britpop Classical
Blur's bassist putting the Britpop songbook through a full orchestra, which lands better than it has any right to.
BritpopOrchestral
Cardiff's funniest, fiercest punks bring group-chat energy with riffs, in-jokes sharpened into anthems, the funniest serious band in Wales.
Punk
Derry's greatest export, with two-minute punk-pop about chocolate and girls, and 'Teenage Kicks' remains the most perfect single of its era.
PunkPower pop
Beth Orton
The folk singer who first put her voice over breakbeats, still writing crooked, searching songs three decades on.
FolkElectronic
Fabio And Grooverider And The Outlook Orchestra
Two founding drum and bass DJs playing the jungle canon with a full orchestra reading the breaks.
Drum-and-bassOrchestral
Peter Hook & The Light
Joy Division and New Order's bass player performing those albums whole, with the melody lines he wrote pushed to the front.
Post-punkNew-wave
David Gray
White Ladder sold itself by word of mouth and never really stopped, and the head-shaking delivery is fully intact.
Folk-rockSinger-songwriter
Thirty-five years of pop about London: house records, sixties girl-group melody and a fan's archive habit, all in the same song.
Indie popDance-pop
Rebecca Lucy Taylor's solo turn after Slow Club: big-chorus, choir-backed alt-pop about womanhood, staged with deliberately theatrical choreography.
Alternative
Leeds art-rock that won the Mercury Prize with its debut, with wry, literate songs that change shape mid-verse.
Alternative
Confetti cannons, giant balloons, and Wayne Coyne's cracked falsetto: a live show engineered as a sensory event, 'Do You Realize??' as the group hug.

The headliners
David Byrne · The Talking Heads frontman has spent his solo decades turning the concert itself into choreography, with marching bands, mobile ensembles, and no cables. Still the most watchable man on any stage he walks onto.
Lewis Capaldi · Scotland's self-deprecating balladeer, who fills arenas with heartbreak delivered between stand-up-quality banter. A voice that fills a field, and the between-song patter to match.
Teddy Swims · A tattooed Georgian with a genuinely enormous soul voice, who covered his way to a following and then wrote the heartbreak records to match.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Alessi Rose · Nottingham pop writing about the wreckage in real time.
Florence Road · Irish four-piece with more bite than their choruses let on.
Lime Garden · Brighton indie that refuses to sit still inside a song.
Other acts worth planning around
The Flaming Lips · Confetti, costumes and 'Do You Realize??' at dusk.
Self Esteem · Pop as a group performance piece, staged like theatre.
Dry Cleaning · Deadpan spoken-word over guitars that keep coiling.
Wet Leg · Isle of Wight two-piece grown into a genuinely loud band.
