David Byrne has revealed his Latitude Festival picks ahead of his summer headline set

David Byrne has shared his excitement about the artists he’s hoping to catch at this year’s Latitude Festival, ahead of his headline performance at the Suffolk event this July.

The Talking Heads frontman - and recent Dork cover star - will top the bill at Henham Park on 24th July as part of Latitude’s 20th anniversary edition for a UK festival exclusive.

Speaking about the festival, Byrne says: "Latitude is a wide-ranging festival, and well curated. A great day in the country. I can't hype my own show. But I'm looking forward to catching The Last Dinner Party and Dry Cleaning on our day!" 

Latitude Founder and Festival Director Melvin Benn adds: "David Byrne is an extraordinarily rare artist. The reaction to the shows has been phenomenal. Everything about David Byrne's 'Who Is The Sky?' tour, the reviews, the crowd reaction, the sheer ambition of the performance, tells me that his Latitude headline set is going to be one of those nights people talk about for years. Latitude audiences are in for something very special this summer." 

Tickets are available via latitudefestival.com/tickets.

Byrne's current 'Who Is The Sky?' world tour has included stops across Australia, New Zealand and North America, with headline appearances at both weekends of Coachella preceding a European leg through Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Frankfurt, Zurich and Paris, alongside a run of UK arena shows.
