The ground breaking Latitude Festival returns to the sunrise coast in Suffolk for its incredible third year. Nestled in the historic and beautiful surroundings of Henham Park Estate, Southwold, and taking place on 17th – 20th July, organisers Festival Republic are promising another truly spectacular event. Acts lined up include Franz Ferdinand, Sigur Ros, Interpol, Death Cab For Cutie, Elbow, The Breeders, Bill Bailey Rich, Marcus Brigstocke, Mark Lamarr, and many more.
Last year's sold out festival hosted a line-up of the highest quality acts across all the arenas. With the sun making a rare appearance during the flood-filled, rain-soaked summer, Latitude shone brightly, a glittering and shimmering sun-drenched oasis by the coast. With memories of last year's fun-filled festival still lingering.
Discovering and exploring new things is a big part of the Latitude experience. Whether it's encountering a thrilling live band on one in one of the many Music Arenas, discovering new musical talent on the Lake Stage, being engrossed in a brand new novel at the Literary Arena, unearthing the next Wordsworth at the Poetry Arena, side-splitting laughter in the Comedy Arena, quirky freaky experiences in the Cabaret Arena, being blown away by an exhilarating production at the Theatre Arena, Latitude always has something fresh, vibrant and exciting to offer from the vast world of creative arts.
Latitude's now trademark diversity of art, entertainment and attractions has re-written the rulebook of traditional festivals, creating a truly innovative event that continues to inspire and influence. Offering the festival goer the full spectrum of art with individual arenas dedicated to film, theatre, poetry, literature, cabaret, comedy and of course music, it is a pioneering approach that has established Latitude as a peer-less and unique experience.
Latitude Festival 2008 will push things further with an incredible, exciting new line up that will guarantee another wonderful weekend in the beautiful surroundings of Henham Park.
