A number of acts have been confirmed to appear at this year’s Latitude festival in Suffolk.

Joanna Newsom will be previewing new material in the Obelisk Arena on Sunday evening, while Wild Beasts will be prepping attendees for curious vocal finery the night before in the Uncut Arena.

The Coral will also be appearing in front of an Uncut banner at some point from the 17-20th of July, while Clinic, Lykke Li, Slow Club, Animal Kingdom and Johnny Flynn will be in the Sunrise Arena at Henham Park in Southwold.

Tickets for the event – headlined by Franz Ferdinand, Sigur Ros and Interpol - are still on sale, at a price of £130 plus booking fee for the entire weekend. Day tickets are £55+bf. Find them here.
