Acts announced for Latitude

Franz Ferdinand, Sigur Rós and Death Cab For Cutie are among acts announced for Latitude Festival, which also features comedy and literature, taking place 17-20 Jul at Henham Park.

Franz Ferdinand, Sigur Ros and Death Cab For Cutie are all set to play at this year's Latitude Festival. And it doesn't end there. Oh no. You can also catch Elbow, MIA and The Breeders.

As you'll know, the festival, now in its third year, is as devoted to comedy and literature and whathaveyou as it is to music and some of my favourites are going to be there in a non-music capacity. The likes of Bill Bailey, Simon Amstell, Ross Noble, Rich Hall, Phill Jupitus, Miles Jupp and Lucy Porter are on laugh-provision duty, whilst the literary and performance stages will be replete with acts like Rachel Pantechnicon, Aisle 16 and Carol Ann Duffy, and writers such as Iain Banks, Jenny Colgan and Hanif Kureishi.

Organiser Melvin Benn told Billboard: "the festival is growing and building organically, and we've covered all the right bases to make it an amazing experience this year".

All takes place from 17-20 Jul at Henham Park, Southwold.
