Latitude 2025: Kaiser Chiefs, Air, Reggie Watts lead latest additions to line-up
A new wave of artists has been added to the Latitude 2025 line-up, including Air, Kaiser Chiefs, Reggie Watts and more.
This year’s instalment will see the festival return to Henham Park in Suffolk between July 24 and July 27. Back in October, organisers confirmed the first three headliners for the main stage – Sting, Snow Patrol and Fatboy Slim. Later on, Basement Jaxx were also added.
Then, the following month, a second wave of artists was confirmed, and among the top names were Elbow, Maribou State, Sigrid and Clean Bandit.
Now, even more acts have been added to the stacked line-up, including Kaiser Chiefs, who will return to the site as part of their 20th-anniversary celebrations. This comes as the band are currently marking two decades since the release of their breakthrough debut album ‘Employment’, which included hits like ‘I Predict a Riot’ and ‘Everyday I Love You Less and Less’.
Also joining the line-up is Air, who will headline Latitude’s second stage on the Sunday (July 27), delivering a set that celebrates their 1998 debut album ‘Moon Safari’, and Leon Bridges, who will be headlining that same stage the night before (July 26) in celebration of his recently shared fourth album ‘Leon’.
Alison Moyet will be joining the bill for 2025 too, celebrating 40 years as a solo artist and having recently released her latest album ‘Key’ – which was an 18-track collection of reworked classic hits, fan favourites, deep cuts, and two new tracks.
Elsewhere, the latest line-up is rounded out by Alessi Rose, Feeder, Example, Scouting For Girls, Kingfishr, Infinity Song, The Buena Vista All Stars, MRCY, Hamish Hawk, Palace, Sprints, Pale Waves, Mercury Prize-nominated Corto.Alto and NME cover stars Lambrini Girls.
As for the comedy arena, it has been confirmed that musician, comedian, writer, and actor Reggie Watts – best known for his role as bandleader on The Late Late Show with James Corden – will be headlining. He joins alongside Greg Davies and Bridget Christie on the bill.
“Latitude Festival has always been a place where the arts truly thrive – where music, comedy, theatre, and visual arts collide in a vibrant explosion of creativity. As we continue to add new acts to the bill for 2025, we’re building on that vision, bringing in fresh voices and timeless talent from all corners of the creative world,” said festival director Melvin Benn.
“This year’s line-up celebrates the power of collaboration, where legendary acts join rising stars and where artists and audiences are part of something bigger. From legends like The Kaiser Chiefs and Alison Moyet to exciting newcomers like Alessi Rose and the Lambrini Girls, Latitude remains dedicated to offering a unique and dynamic festival experience where creativity is always at the forefront.”
