Latitude Festival have announced George Ezra, Snow Patrol and Lana Del Rey as their 2019 headliners.
The three stars have secured the top slots at the Obelisk Arena, across the weekend from the 18th – 21st July.
George Ezra is no first-timer, having first performed on the BBC Music Stage at Latitude in 2014.
Speaking about the festival he said: “It’s no secret I’m a Latitude fan. I’ve been to the festival numerous times… so to be coming back in 2019 as a headliner… is a real treat”. He’ll be headlining the Friday Night slot.
Snow Patrol will also be returning to the stage. They first headlined the Festival in 2006. And Lana Del Rey moves up to the headline slot. She last performed at the festival in 2012.
Latitude have announced over 70 other artists to perform in this year’s festival. The trio will be joined in Henham Park, Suffolk by artists like Primal Scream, Cat Power, Anna Calvi, and Sigrid.

But others have criticised the line-up:
Theresa May's 'announcement' last week had more about it than this.

And on the comedy front, it’s been confirmed that UK comic Jason Manford will be performing.
He’s joined on the line up by Michelle Wolf. Wolf is an American comedian and will be making her UK headline debut at Latitude.
She made headlines when she roasted US President Donald Trump during her White House correspondents’ dinner speech.
And if you’re a fan of the arts there’s a host of West-End favourites including Amusical – a show were comics sing their favourite show tunes, accompanied by a live band.
