Following the news that Stereophonics have joined the Latitude Festival line up, organisers have now announced more poetry, podcasts and performance art.

The latest additions join already impressive Latitude Festival 2019 line-up, which sees George Ezra, Stereophonics and Lana Del Rey top the main Obelisk Arena bill.

A hub for established and emerging talent, the music line-up will also welcome dance heroes Underworld, Scottish synth-pop outfit Chvrches and UK rapper Loyle Carner among many others.

The Waterfront Stage will host a very special performance by Ben Folds + A Piano, whilst the ever-popular Comedy Arena will see Jason Manford, Michelle Wolf and Katherine Ryan take on headline duties.

Bringing together music, theatre, dance, comedy and the arts, the festival will host a brand new podcast programme, The Listening Post, headlined by Griefcast with Cariad Lloyd.

Imelda May will present an exclusive art piece performance, entitled Hallowed.

The announcement also includes a screening of Asif Kapadia’s latest film Diego Maradona, followed by a live Q&A. Novellist and poet Ben Okri will top The Speakeasy literature bill.

The Listening Post will also host The Lake Stage headliners Easy Life in conversation with Radio X DJ John Kennedy. delicious.magazine will record two live podcasts, joined by The Kingdom Choir and Grace Carter respectively.
