Melvin Benn, Founder and Creator of Latitude comments: “This year sees Latitude return for its ninth edition, with a sensational and diverse bill that once again really offers something for everyone. We’re incredibly pleased to announce The Black Keys as headliners, along with a huge variety of established and emerging artists, representing every genre from blues and rock through to world, indie, psychedelia, electronica and soul. Of course, it’s the combination of outstanding music and arts that makes Latitude truly unique, and we’re delighted to be able to reveal a whole host of high calibre comedians, theatre companies, poets, writers and other performers across the festival. I’m confident this is going to be the best Latitude yet!”
