LATITUDE, Henham Park Estate, Suffolk, 14-17 Jul: Those interested in all things cultural will be pleased to hear of the list of oh-so artsy additions to this year’s Latitude fest, which will see the likes Imogen Heap and Micachu performing soundtracks to silent films as part of the Bird’s Eye View showcase. Singer Camille O’Sullivan and the London Contemporary Orchestra will also feature in proceedings, as will an ‘Attack The Block’-themed party courtesy of Noise Of Art.
