Latitude Festival will be bursting into life this summer as Snow Patrol are set to make a triumphant return after they were forced to cancel their headline slot in 2019.

The band pulled out of their Saturday night set just a few weeks before last year's festival, after member Johnny McDaid required emergency surgery for neck pain.

It left fans of the band devastated and the organisers searching for a headliner, but thankfully Welsh rockers Stereophonics were available to replace them.

Latitude takes place from Thursday, July 16 to Sunday, July 19 in Henham Park, near Southwold, and Snow Patrol, whose top ten hits include Chasing Cars and Run, will perform on the main Obelisk Stage in the Sunday lunchtime slot.

The performance will mark the 25th anniversary of the band and coincides with the release of their latest album Reworked and fans can expect all their biggest anthems reimagined with a live orchestra.

Snow Patrol said: "We are thrilled to perform our Reworked set, featuring 14 musicians no less, as special guests.
