Up and coming acts MNEK, Young Fathers and Childhood have been added to this year's line-up for Latitude Festival.

They join previously announced headliners The Black Keys, Damon Albarn and Two Door Cinema Club.

Chrissie Hynde, best known as being The Pretenders' singer, is another new addition to the Suffolk festival, which takes place between 17-20 July.

Last year's Latitude was awarded the best line-up prize at the UK Festival Awards.

MNEK recently featured on Gorgon City's Ready For Your Love and performed at Radio 1's Future Festival in January.

Alternative hip-hop group Young Fathers released their debut album in February while Childhood boast a Burberry model in the band.

Headliner Damon Albarn's debut solo album Everyday Robots could stop Paolo Nutini from staying at the top of the Official Album Chart for three weeks.

The Scottish singer also faces competition from previous Latitude performer, Irish musician Imelda May.

Bombay Bicycle Club, Haim, Tame Impala and Clean Bandit are also due to perform at this year's festival at Henham Park in Southwold.

There will be comedy performances from Al Murray, Simon Amstell and Dara O'Briain.

Tickets for this year's Latitude Festival are on sale now.
