Kasabian, London Grammar and Sara Pascoe will be performing at next summer's Latitude Festival.

They are among some of the headline acts on the Suffolk festival's bill in 2024, joining rock legends Duran Duran.

Festival director Melvin Benn said it aimed to offer "an unforgettable experience for our audience".

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."

The Leicester band have sold more than five million albums worldwide and their forthcoming album Happenings is expected to be released in time for the event at Henham Park near Southwold, to be held from 25 to 28 July 2024.

Last summer's studio release The Alchemist's Euphoria was their sixth UK number one album.

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".

British megastars Keane will be returning as headliners, celebrating 20 years since they released Hopes and Fears, which has sold 10 million records worldwide.

Tim Rice-Oxley from the band said: "We were gutted when we missed out on playing at Latitude when it was cancelled in 2020 - so we're over the moon to finally be playing there next year."

Other headliners include singer Rag'n'Bone Man, Texas trio Khruangbin, Nile Rodgers & CHIC and Rick Astley.

The festival also supports new comedy acts and Samira Banks, winner of the Edinburgh Fringe-based comedy competition "So You Think You're Funny?" will make her Latitude debut.
