Also appearing over the weekend will be Johnny Foreigner, Sky Larkin, The CocknBull Kid, Gideon Conn and Lovvers.
The Lake Stage presents BBC Introducing… will host three days of brand spanking new acts who are tipped for great things. Last year’s line-up included Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip, Joe Lean and the Jing, Jang, Jong and Scouting for Girls, who went to number one with their debut album.
“Latitude, as well as being in an idyllic location with so many different things going on, has a huge emphasis on quality new music,” said Stephens. “The bands on the Lake Stage are like the first crop of new music, freshly squeezed playing a festival for the first time.”
Headlining this year’s event in the Obelisk Arena, Franz Ferdinand make their only English festival show, the Icelandic post-rock outfit Sigur Rós and New York titans, Interpol close the arena on the Sunday.
