Latitude Festival 2016 has announced that The Maccabees, The National, and New Order will be headlining the music festival in July (14th - 17th). Based in Suffolk, England, the event has come a long way since beginning a decade ago in 2006, and is now considered a highlight of the UK's festival season.
British Sea Power, Courtney Barnett, Father John Misty, and Beirut will all join The Maccabees on the Friday evening. Speaking to NME about their rise to mainstage headliners, The Maccabees said, "Latitude is the first major headline slot in our fourteen year existence and the culmination of the year spent touring Marks To Prove It. We're intending on it being a celebration of it all."
John Grant, Daughter, Squeeze, and Chvrches are on before The National on the Saturday, and before New Order close out the festival Chet Faker, The Lumineers and M83 will grace the mainstage. You can check out the line-up so far here.
Grimes, Kurt Vile, and Of Monsters And Men will headline the BBC Radio 6 Music Stage preceeded by the likes of Mike Snow, Perfume Genius, Jamie Woon, Frightened Rabbit, and Oh Wonder.
