Latitude festival is proud to unveil the first details about this year’s line-up. The Best Family award winning festival has revealed what’s in store for its eighth edition. Bloc Party, whose recent return was met with critical acclaim are set to headline on the Friday whilst German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk will take the stage on Saturday! Foals will join them following their NME Award and Mercury Music Prize Nomination.
Yannis from Foals said about the news: “Latitude is always exciting, because they offer a very tasteful selection of acts. For our band, it’s an honour to headline alongside someone of the calibre of Kraftwerk – they can do whatever they like, they’re unique and you know they’re going to put on an incredible show. Bloc Party will be fantastic headliners too.”
