It will be the first time Kasabian have performed at Latitude and vocalist Serge Pizzorno said: "We can't wait to give you the show of your lives."

Sara Pascoe said she was "absolutely buzzing" about headlining at Latitude 2024

Comedian Sara Pascoe is the 2024 comedy headliner after she had to pull out of this year's festival due to illness.

The author and podcaster has extensive TV and radio credits including a weekly contributor slot on BBC2's Frankie Boyle's New World Order and hosting Comedians Giving Lectures on Dave.

She said she was "absolutely buzzing with excitement to be returning to the comedy arena - instead of hibernating this winter I'll be glittering my face, tie-dying my socks, and getting festival ready".
