Latitude Festival confirms Damian Lewis joins 2024 line-up


Latitude Festival 2024 just confirmed Damian Lewis is hitting the line-up of this year’s weekender. The actor, who is best known for starring in Billions, Homeland, A Spy Amongst Friends and many other TV shows, has confirmed this will be his “biggest show to date”. 

Speaking out about joining the festival, Lewis said: “Latitude Festival holds a very special place in my heart. It’s a festival we have attended as a family for years. There is something very magical about the festival; the site itself is glorious, and I’ve seen so many amazing artists there.

“From busking on the streets of Europe to gracing the stage at Latitude Festival, this musical journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. It’s a testament to the power of music and the unwavering support of my fans. This is undoubtedly the biggest show I’ve ever done, and I’m very grateful for this opportunity. The Latitude audience is incredibly special, and I cannot wait to perform with my brilliant band!”

Festival director, Melvin Benn, added: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Damian Lewis to the Latitude Festival. Damian’s musical talent is undeniable; I managed to catch him at the Wilderness Festival, and he was captivating! Performing at Latitude is the next step up in his already thriving musical career. For those who haven’t heard him, you can expect blues, folk-rock, Americana, and beyond from Damian and his truly exceptional band!”

The announcement of Lewis’ participation follows the news that the legendary Duran Duran will be headlining the weekender in July.

The British New Wave rockers are best known for such hits as Hungry Like The Wolf, Rio, Girls On Film, The Wild Boys and countless others.

Having just released their 16th album, Danse Macabre, this is the perfect time for the band to hit Latitude Festival’s hallowed stage.

Speaking out about joining the line-up as the first headliner, Duran Duran’s bassist John Taylor said: “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.”

He added: “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!” 

Latitude’s festival director, Melvin Benn, also chimed in to say: “Duran Duran’s fusion of artistry and innovation seamlessly resonates with Latitude’s commitment to curate a multifaceted cultural experience. 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.”
