Romesh Ranganathan, known for his various stand up shows and TV appearances said: "I thought I would never do a festival gig again, but the opportunity to play Latitude as a comedian and hip hop party host, plus a substantial fee have changed my mind!" Indie icons James will play a special show at this year’s Latitude in celebration of their momentous 40th Anniversary.

The band will perform in Latitude’s iconic Sunday lunchtime slot complete with a full 20 piece orchestra and a gospel choir, conducted by Joe Duddell. James said: “James are very happy to announce an exclusive UK festival date - playing with an orchestra and choir.

“We’re playing Latitude Festival at midday on Sunday July 23 when we won’t be competing with noisy neighbours! We will be the morning balm to your late night hangovers.”
