Today’s featured band are Arcade Fire, who headlined Latitude last July.

The dates for the 2008 event have been confirmed, and a presale is currently running.

Latitude Festival will take place in the beautiful Henham Park in Southwold, Suffolk between July 17-20.

Those who attended in 2007 can take advantage of a limited number of 5000 tickets that are on sale now.

As well as Arcade Fire, Antony and the Johnsons, Damien Rice, Mercury Rev, Jarvis and Wilco are just a few of the names who have graced the Obelisk Arena, alongside the seminal Patti Smith, rising stars CSS and Bat for Lashes as well as the best new and emerging bands.

Six more arenas dedicated to the whole arts spectrum make up Latitude, from theatre to poetry, film to art, music to comedy and literature to cabaret. The comedy line up included Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran and Alan Carr.

Latitude embraced Poetry with performances from Roger McGough, Simon Armitage and John Hegley plus readings from Hollywood actors via WordTheatre and writers’ readings via Vox n Roll in the Literary Arena.
