Latitude Festival Opens 20th‑Anniversary Weekend at Henham Park

Organisers expect roughly 45,000 visitors a day, putting campsite, ticketing and weather plans to the test.

Overview

  • Gates and campsites opened at Henham Park on Thursday, July 23, and early arrivals were pictured setting up tents ahead of the headline shows.
  • David Byrne, Teddy Swims and Lewis Capaldi lead a multi‑arts bill across July 24–26 with supporting acts including The Flaming Lips, The Last Dinner Party, Tom Grennan and Wet Leg.
  • BBC Weather and the Met Office forecast light rain and blustery spells early in the weekend with sunnier intervals later and daytime highs around the mid‑20s Celsius.
  • Weekend camping tickets are priced at £308 this year as Latitude operates at its expanded scale of roughly 45,000 attendees per day, raising logistical and cost pressures for families and festival staff.
  • Founded in 2006 by Melvin Benn with a multi‑arts remit, Latitude marks two decades of growth and cultural influence while hosting special events such as a Transgressive Records stage takeover.
