Latitude Festival 2023: From the glamour of cabaret to the freshest new music

The Latitude Festival in the UK has a knack for bringing all sorts of entertainment to the table and providing something for adults, children, teens, and students. A huge range of music is on offer at the festival starting with pop, jazz, classical, and rock all the way to DJ sets and rap. The set up for Latitude consists of over 17 separate areas each offering a different range of entertainment and performances. 

The BBC is heavily involved with the festival and has two stages, one of which provides the latest and newest twists from renowned artists and the other offers a blend of classical, jazz, world, folk, and country. The Sunrise arena is a creative set up in the woods where throughout the day you can listen to the futures hottest musicians. During the evening the Sunrise arena is illuminated and transformed into an all night long woodland rave. Latitude emanates its passion for the performing arts and has stages dedicated to cabaret and some of the UK’s leading dance companies.
