It may only be autumn, but thoughts are turning to next year’s music festivals - with the Isle of Wight Festival the latest to announce its lineup, with Lewis Capaldi, The Cure and Calvin Harris headlining.
The next few weeks will see others follow suit and one of the most eagerly-anticipated - particularly with Glastonbury having a fallow year in 2026 - is the Latitude Festival.
The family -friendly event is known for its relaxed and convivial atmosphere and its lineup of standup comedy running alongside musical acts.
The festival was first held in its Suffolk home of Henham Park in 2006 when Snow Patrol, Mogwai and Anthony and the Johnsons headlined.
That means that this year it’ll be celebrating its 20th birthday, and fans are hoping for some big names to enjoy the party with them.
Here are 11 rumoured headliners for 2026.
5. Belle and Sebastian
Scottish indie heroes Belle and Sebastian last headlined Latitude in 2010. Next year will see them perform a string of dates playing their first two studio albums 'Tigermilk' and 'If You're Feeling Sinister' in full on alternate nights. Could they headline Latitude twice? | Getty Images
6. Suede
It'll have been 15 years since Latitude Festival-goers have enjoyed a headline set from Suede - they topped the bill on the Sunday in 2011. The band have received some of the best reviews of their long careers with new album 'Antidepressants' and are a fearsome live proposition, whilst providing just the right amount of nostalgia for a slightly older audience. | Ritzau Scanpix/AFP via Getty Ima
7. Wolf Alice
Wolf Alice last headlined Latitude in 2021 but since then they've just got bigger and bigger - with new album 'The Clearing' a hit and their set at Glastonbury one of the most talked about of the festival. They'd surely be more than welcome back at Latitude in 2026. | AFP via Getty Images
8. Ed Sheeran
Pop megastar Ed Sheeran lives around 30 minutes away from the Latitude festival site so it's no surprise that he's strongly tipped to be making an appearance, particularly since he's just released new album 'Play'. Judging by the chat online, it would be fair to say he'd be a somewhat divisive choice. | Getty Images for Coachella
