A handful of new artists have just been announced for this year’s Latitude festival. The event has secured an impressive festival exclusive from Australian psych rockers Tame Impala who have built a solid reputation as one of the most innovative festival performers. Another huge name is British folk outfit Bombay Bicycle Club who released their fourth album ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’ in the UK this week and it is currently set to top charts this Sunday.
Prestigious dream pop band Slowdive announced their reformation and are also a festival exclusive for Latitude, after their London show sold out this could be your chance to see the iconic band perform in the UK.
