this year. WhereHyde Park, London HEADLINERS Soundgarden, Bruce

Big names are on the bill as ever, but Latitude is a festival that moves way beyond musical boundaries. The likes of Richard Hawley, Michael Kiwanuka, Simple Minds and Rufus Wainwright will cater for musos without much difficulty but there are some pretty weighty names in other areas of entertainment as well. Jack Dee, Greg Davies and Reginald D Hunter will be flying the comedy flag while Tim Minchin straddles the two mediums as does Adam Buxton, sort of, with his hilarious music video show BUG. Poetry, theatre and cabaret are also on offer and the Latitude Contemporary Art
Award, now in its third year, sees five British artists compete for a cool £10,000. WhereHenham Park, Suffolk HEADLINERS Bon Iver, Elbow (pictured), Paul Weller TICKETS Available
