London indie rockers Bombay Bicycle Club and Aussie psychedelic group Tame Impala will be joining headliners Damon Albarn and Two Door Cinema Club at this year’s Latitude festival. Bombay Bicycle Club come riding high off the success of their recently released fourth album ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’, which is projected to reach number one at the end of this week.
Newly reformed shoe-gaze outfit Slowdive join the bill as well as acts such as Jungle, East India Youth, Valerie June, First Aid Kit and Fat White Family, proving that the music at Latitude really is a wonderfully eclectic mix.
Of course, one of the biggest attractions that Latitude has on offer every year is its superb spoken word lineup, of which the first acts were announced today. Roger McGough, Michael Rosen, Ben Okri, Gillian Clarke and Hollie McNish have all been added to this year’s bill.
