Latitude Festival 2025: Full Lineup, Headliners, and What to Know Before You Go
Dates & Location
24–27 July 2025, Henham Park, Suffolk
Latitude Festival returns to the woodland-laced grounds of Henham Park this summer, bringing four days of music, arts, comedy, and conversation to Suffolk. Known for its genre-blurring curation and family-friendly vibe, this year’s edition features heavyweight headliners, emerging acts, and a multi-disciplinary arts programme woven throughout the site.
Latitude 2025 Headliners A Mix of Nostalgia and Energy
Basement Jaxx, Sting, Fatboy Slim, and Snow Patrol top the 2025 bill, each bringing a different kind of legacy to the main stage.
- Basement Jaxx will open Friday night with their first full live set at the festival. “To connect to people with life-affirming energy and give people a great time,” said Felix Buxton of the duo.
- Sting performs for the first time at Latitude, bringing his “STING 3.0” tour to the Obelisk Arena alongside drummer Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons) and long-time collaborator Dominic Miller.
- Fatboy Slim returns for a high-energy main stage set, marking 30 years in DJing. Norman Cook calls it “a big tick on my bucket list”.
- Snow Patrol close the weekend, having previously performed at the first ever Latitude in 2006. “We’re excited to get back to Latitude again for the third time,” the band said.
Full Lineup: From Cult Heroes to Festival Staples
Alongside the headliners, Latitude 2025’s sprawling bill includes:
- Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs, Air, Doves, Clean Bandit, Leon Bridges, Alison Moyet, Sigrid, Public Service Broadcasting, Feeder, Pale Waves, and Scouting For Girls.
- Rising and niche acts such as Amble, Alessi Rose, Hamish Hawk, NOFUN!, corto.alto, The Royston Club, Infinity Song, and The War and Treaty round out the programme.
- New additions also include spoken word, science talks, and activism panels, featuring Chris Packham and Professor Gina Rippon.

Controversy Over Artist Withdrawals in 2024
Latitude came under scrutiny in 2024 after several artists pulled out due to Barclays’ sponsorship. The banking giant faced growing backlash over its ties to companies involved in Israel’s military supply chain. While Barclays is no longer listed as a lead sponsor in 2025, the move raised questions around the ethics of corporate involvement in UK festivals.
This year, Klarna—an AI-powered payment network—is named as the headline sponsor in a new multi-year deal. Organisers have not commented publicly on whether artist pressure influenced this change.
