LATITUDE FESTIVAL
Latitude Festival has unveiled the
full Waterfront Stage programme for its
20th anniversary edition, taking place
23 – 26 July at Henham Park, Suffolk.
Marking two decades of crossdisciplinary programming, the festival
again blends music, theatre, literature,
comedy and dance, with headline artists
across the weekend including David
Byrne, Lewis Capaldi, Teddy Swims, The
Flaming Lips, Wet Leg, Self Esteem and
Jalen Ngonda.
At the centre of the Waterfront Stage
lineup is the return of Sir Matthew
Bourne’s New Adventures, headlined by
an excerpt from the landmark Swan
Lake. Bourne’s bold reinvention of
Tchaikovsky’s classic, which first
premiered nearly 30 years ago and
has won more than 30 international
awards, returns to Latitude for the
first time in a decade.
Presented in partnership with
DanceEast, the programme spans
contemporary and experimental work
from leading companies. Uchenna
Dance’s Our Mighty Groove, by
choreographer Vicki Igbokwe-Ozoagu,
celebrates Black British culture and
community, while Canada’s Le Patin
Libre fuse skating, wheels and live
music in Wheels & Cello. Alleyne Dance
perform Far From Home, with additional
works from Ekleido and PCK Dance.
Further highlights include Little
Bulb’s Listen Dance, a lively social
dance event led by a nine-piece band,
alongside family-friendly performances
from The Place and Almost Synchro,
completing a diverse lakeside
programme.
