Latitude has revealed that Sunday afternoon’s coveted performance spot will be taken by Atomic Bomb! Who Is William Onyeabor? this year. Celebrating West African Afro-funk alongside synth pioneer, William Onyeabar and performing with a multi-talented collective of internationally acclaimed musicians and all of it is brought together by David Byrne of the Talking Heads.
The show is set to be spectacular with the likes of Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip set to join the ensemble on the day alongside other very special guests.
