Latitude returns for its 10th year with a birthday line-up featuring Jack Dee, Gareth Malone, Noel Gallagher, Manic Street Preachers and Simon Armitage.

Mercury-prize winners alt-J, Portishead and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will headline the Suffolk festival’s main Obelisk Arena.

They will be joined throughout the weekend by Laura Marling, Lianne La Havas, Femi Kuti and James Blake.

On the BBC Radio 6 Music Stage, John Hopkins, The Vaccines and SBTRKT are set to headline with other performances from La Roux, Public Service Broadcasting and Kwabs.

The Independent’s own i Arena will welcome a host of upcoming talent including electro artist Clark, London based duo Goddard, Leeds quartet Adult Jazz and indie rockers Gengahr.

Away from the music stages, the festival will offer swimming in the site’s lakes for the first time and hot tubs for festival-goers to soak up the atmosphere.

In the comedy tent, Alan Davies, John Richardson, Jason Manford, Jack Dee, Rob Delaney and Adam Hills will be leading the festival’s ever-strong comedy line-up.

Choir master Gareth Malone will also be offering attendees the chance to sing in his own Latitude choir. Ticket holders will be able to apply to be part of his 100-strong group who will perform in a lunchtime slot on Sunday 19 July.
