Alison Moyet, Example and the Kaiser Chiefs are among the latest acts to be announced for this year's Latitude Festival.

They will perform across the four-day event at Henham Park, near Southwold in Suffolk, from 24-27 July.

Air, Alessi Rose and Leon Bridges will all play the second stage, while Reggie Watts has been announced as a headliner for the comedy stage.

Festival director Melvin Benn said both "fresh voices and timeless talent" were being celebrated across the weekend.

"This year's lineup celebrates the power of collaboration, where legendary acts join rising stars," he said.

Among the headline acts already announced for the music and arts festival are Fatboy Slim, Snow Patrol and Sting.

Moyet said her set on the main stage would centre around her latest album, Key, which reworked some of her hits.

"I wanted to take the opportunity to look at the trajectory of the past four decades and explore songs that, in their original form, were never fully realised or have had their relevance to me altered by time," she said.

She last took to the stage at Latitude in 2014.

The festival runs from Thursday until Monday morning

Kaiser Chiefs, best known for songs including Ruby, Never Miss a Beat and I Predict a Riot, last headlined the festival in 2021.

The band said they wanted to "salute" it being 20 years since their breakout album Employment was released.

"The album... changed our lives and has soundtracked the lives of millions of others," they added.

Scouting for Girls, Kingfishr, Infinity Song, Buena Vista All Stars and Mrcy are among the other performers just announced.
