Duran Duran unveiled as headliners for Latitude Festival 2024
In a UK festival exclusive, British band Duran Duran has been unveiled as the headliners for the 2024 edition of the Latitude Festival.
The band is set to take the main stage at the award-winning festival as it returns to the picturesque grounds of Henham Park, Suffolk, from 25-28 July 2024, presenting a diverse line-up where music and the arts converge.
Duran Duran’s John Taylor says: "We are excited to be making Latitude our sole UK performance next summer. It’s a great festival, and it’s been a long time since Duran have been in that part of the country. In fact, it’s our first time ever in Suffolk. We are riding high on the reception our new Danse Macabre album has received, and looking forward to bringing music from that record, all the way back to our 1981 debut album. See you there!"
"Duran Duran's fusion of artistry and innovation seamlessly resonates with Latitude's commitment to curate a multifaceted cultural experience," adds Melvin Benn, Latitude’s Festival Director. Celebrated for their iconic style, ground-breaking music, and a consistent string of chart-topping hits, the band have unquestionably left their mark on both the music and fashion realms. With their ongoing evolution and the ability to transcend musical boundaries, the band's mesmerising live performances make them an ideal fit for the Latitude festival."
Duran Duran recently released their gothic-themed album, Danse Macabre, which made its debut at number five in the UK charts, this week.
As well as covers of Billie Eilish’s "Bury A Friend", The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black", Siouxsie and the Banshees’ "Spellbound", and The Specials’ "Ghost Town" – and Victoria De Angelis of Måneskin providing guest bass and vocals on "Psycho Killer" – the album features special collaborations with former Duran Duran band members Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo, Nile Rodgers, producers Josh Blair, Mr Hudson, and long-time touring guitarist Dom Brown.
