FAMILY, STREET FEAST, THEATRE OF FOOD, SOLAS, WELLBEING, PADDLE BOARDING, AND MORE REVEALED

Known as the number one destination for music and arts lovers, Latitude Festival is pleased to announce a host of new names added to the line up joining headliners George Ezra, Lana Del Rey, Snow Patrol, Michelle Wolf, Frank Skinner and Jason Manford, with the addition of the food and family line up. The 14th edition of the festival takes place in the stunning grounds of Henham Park, Suffolk, across 18th-21st July 2019. Weekend and day tickets on sale here.

Latitude favourite Katherine Ryan joins the Comedy Arena as its fourth and final comedy headliner, alongside Frank Skinner, Michelle Wolf, and Jason Manford. Originally from Canada, now UK based and star of Netflix’s The Fix and her first global comedy special Katherine Ryan: In Trouble and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle, which she judges, and Your Face Or Mine, which she co-hosts with Jimmy Carr, Katherine is dominating the television and live comedy scenes – both in the UK and abroad.

Brand new for 2019, Latitude is pleased to announce The Listening Post which will see podcasts elevated to prime position with whole stage dedicated to this diverse and creative art-form. Cariad Lloyd headlines the bill with British Podcast Awards’ Podcast of the Year 2018, Griefcast. Cariad will be joined by three comedians to talk awkward funeral songs to whether there is an afterlife; cheerier than it sounds! The first wave of podcasts announced today include David Olshanetsky, “The Voice of Generation Z” and creator of The Shitney Spears, presenting David’s Out For A Good Time, comedian Dane Baptiste Questions Everything with a range of guests, and Latitude can exclusively reveal that the hilarious comedic love letter to Broadway and the West End Amusical will now come in podcast form, launched live from The Listening Post. The multi-award-winning sitcom about about rival funeral directors, Wooden Overcoats also joins the bill, alongside gritty investigative journalism show The Tip Off, Ghibliotheque which leafs through the library of the world’s greatest animation studio Studio Ghibli, and Rule of Three, hosted by Britain’s busiest comedy writers, Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley. In the Music & Film Arena, John Kennedy interviews a very special guest for a live edition of Tape Notes.

An eclectic range of award-winning writers, poets and thinkers will perform across the arts stages, and other prestigious talent is announced today. Headlining The Speakeasy are Man Booker shortlisted novelist, poet and playwright Deborah Levy, renowned for her witty and dark explorations of complex female relationships, and one of the most exciting new voices to emerge in print in the last decade, Max Porter, author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers, makes his Latitude debut to read from his second novel, Lanny. The Women’s Prize For Fiction return to The Speakeasy with Viv Groskop, Scarlet Curtis and Bernadine Evaristo. The British Academy come to the festival for the first time. The newly crowned UK Poet Laureate Simon Armitage tops the poetry bill alongside Joe Dunthorne, best known as the novelist behind Submarine, and The Adulterants, set to perform pieces from his funny and dark debut poetry collection, O Positive. Elsewhere performance poet extraordinaire Luke Wright makes a welcome return alongside World Poetry Slam Champion and Ted X speaker Harry Baker, and NCW Associate Artist Hannah Jane Walker presents her much-anticipated stage show Highly Sensitive.

Even more eclectic music names join today’s announcement including LP also known as Laura Pergolizzi, the singer- songwriter whose break-out global hit ‘Lost On You’ topped the charts and catapulted her to stardom in 13 countries, plus Suffolk based community choir Pop Chorus, both of which are added to BBC Sounds Stage. Elsewhere Scandi-duo Anna of The North headline The Lake Stage, and Stockholm’s unruly post-punks Viagra Boys headline The Alcove Stage.

BBC Music Introducing makes a welcome return to Latitude, showcasing the biggest unsigned, discovered, and under the radar music across the UK. In 2018, almost 60% of the entire line up had come from the ground-breaking scheme that has seen Two Door Cinema Club, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Years & Years, Wolf Alice, The 1975, work their way up to headliner status, and this year is no different as we are currently on over 50% of the line up coming from BBC Music Introducing including Friday Night headliner George Ezra.

The BBC Music Introducing Stage gets even bigger as BBC Radio 2’s Dermot O’Leary will be broadcasting LIVE on the Saturday morning with live music, and special guests, and to be part of the audience, listen in to Dermot’s show on Saturday 6th July from 8am to find out more.

Dermot O’Leary says: “I’ve been DJing in the woods at Latitude, as well as broadcasting from the festival, for many years and it’s always been a favourite of mine. I love the fact that there’s something for everyone – from literature to comedy to sheep- and of course some fantastic live music. I can’t wait to bring my Radio 2 Saturday Breakfast Show to the BBC Music Introducing stage this year.”

Winner of Best Family Festival last year, Latitude has a huge array of Family activities available for children and parents alike across three separate areas. Nestled between the lake and the forest, The Kids Area is a hive of activity with everything from traditional woodland crafts to wild science experiments. Join authors Laura Trinder, and Christopher Lloyd, visit OKIDO Artist’s Studio to work with designers and illustrators behind CBeebies popular animation series, and explore the Wild Science Tent for Guardian Of The Gut, Splat Anatomy! and Natures Dazzling Diversity. New theatre shows and live performances include a show inspired by a Suffolk myth called Life’s A Beach, Makaika for classical music with a twist and a slapstick family Panto! In The Enchanted Garden our new Craft Tent includes Patches ever-growing patchwork blanket and some dazzling Sand-art. The over 12’s will see a piece of the action, with The Inbetweeners Area offering music, media, fashion and technology workshops. This year teens can create stage quality make up looks with our Special Effect Make Up Tutorial, the Unreality Tent offers 8-bit retro games and some AR surprises, Future Radio will host their new Radio Caravan with interactive workshops and the chance to interview some bands, or head to The Digital Kitchen to ask beauty and lifestyle vlogger Helen Anderson about her journey to almost 600k subscribers on YouTube.

The debut of Street Feast in 2018 saw the food offerings at Latitude step it up a notch by offering over 80 delicious choices, and we are pleased to announce they’re back for another year. Attendees can eat delicious and well-sourced food from dozens of different countries and cuisines – from pillowy soft Chinese bao buns to fiery Caribbean jerk chicken, and fresh Middle Eastern mezze boxes to mighty Mexican jackfruit tacos. With multiple of last year’s traders returning, 2019 will see some modern classics of the food stall scene with 60 traders feeding festivalgoers across the festival; Louisiana inspired Surf n’ Turf po’ boys with lip-smacking habanero chilli jam from Slingin’ Po Boys, the ultimate fondue from Alpine artisans the Raclette Brothers, fiery Cajun chicken from Voodoo Chicken and inspired vegan cuisine from Vegetaria. All-time favourites making a return appearance include wood fired pizza perfectionists Fundi, the original Mac N Cheese dealers Anna Maes and award-winning Paella stars Paellaria.

Theatre of Food, a fully immersive stage for any foodie – or just your average keen eater – returns with cooking sessions, inspiring food demos and, of course, the chance to sample the goods yourself. Across the weekend festival goers can witness Georgina Hayden, renowned cook, and food writer, the return of award winning author Felicity Cloake, and cult restaurant Persepolis owner Sally Butcher. Also added are Rising Star Of Food 2019 Rachel Ama, cookbook author Charlotte Pike, Norwich Legend Richard Bainbridge, TED X Speaker Kittie Kipper, and more, all to take place on the beautifully designed kitchen from Anglia Factors.

The Hothouse returns to Latitude for its second year - a spectacular restaurant housed inside an adapted polytunnel, decorated as a French brocante, that offers table service. It’s menu is sourced from six independent food producers, that include Boxfood Caribbean, Persian Chicken, Guerrilla Kitchen, Seacow, Yellow Turban Thali, and The Taco Kitchen. To book a table (maximum 10 people), please email [email protected] with your mobile number, and which day and approximate time you would like.

SOLAS is a retreat in a woodland escape, a sanctuary space nestled among the trees of Henham Park dedicated to the art of chilling out. Allow yourself to be drawn in for musical explorations, wellbeing treatments, yoga salons, a simple moment of relaxation or to explore our beautiful art installations. For those who wish to plan ahead, online bookings for therapies and workshops are available via atools.io/solasbookings from May 16th. Music acts booked this year include Laurel, County Line Runner, Aeris Roves, Olympia, whenyoung, Jelly Boy, Maisie Peters, and Bill Jefferson.

Lake Swimming returns, but new for 2019, festivalgoers can try their hand at Stand Up Paddle Boarding with 15-20 sessions over Friday to Saturday for 6 people from the age of 8 for £18 per lesson which can be booked here, while a group of 12 young’uns from ages 8-12 can become Little Lifeguards for £13 per lesson, which can be booked here. Terms & Conditions apply.

Latitude prides itself on offering a festival for everyone, which is why we have attained Silver Award Status by Attitude Is Everything. We are pleased to announce that British Sign Language (BSL), provided by Performance Interpreting LTD, request service will cover all stages in 2019, which is our biggest sign language service to date, and we have also increased the viewing platform in The Comedy Arena by 25% compared to last year due to demand, as well as providing BSL viewing area in BBC Sounds and Obelisk Arena.

Since 2009, all food stalls use only compostable packaging and single use plastic is banned, including straws, and last year 59% of total waste was recycled or composted, which is one of many reasons why we have been awarded a 4 star Creative Green result by Julie’s Bicycle for the third year in a row. Plastic bottles brought back via the Co-op Reverse Vending Machines and the Greenpeace Deposit Return Point in 2018 were sent to Clean Tech to be recycled back into plastic food packaging for Co-op. This year, WaterAid’s Good Loos will be introduced that offer an environmentally friendly, self-sufficient block of 10 composting toilets with a vanity and chill out area that will be located in General Campervans, plus Campsite NiftyBin Recycling Points will double, Every Can Counts will give empty cans a new lease of life, refill points will increase with the addition of a reusable metal water bottle being available to purchase on site. All water bottles on sale in the arena will be 100% plant-based PLA bottles. You can cycle to Latitude this year with Red Fox Cycling Experience from either London or Ipswich or if you carshare with Liftshare, you can get access to a priority car park close to the entrance.
