LATITUDE FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FABER ALT. X BBC INTRODUCING TAKEOVER
Latitude Festival is thrilled to announce a new creative partnership for 2025 as Faber Alt., the independent music publisher and division of Faber Music, teams up with BBC Introducing to co-curate a brand-new programme in the festival’s iconic Lavish Lounge. Together with the Lavish team, they’ll bring an unmissable weekend of live performance, innovation, and discovery to Henham Park from 24–27 July 2025.
Ed Marquis, Creative Manager at Faber Alt. said, “We at Faber Alt. are super excited to be welcomed to Latitude, alongside BBC Introducing, at the Lavish Lounge Arena. It’s a big moment for us – Faber Alt. is built on the brilliant creativity and independency of our songwriters and artists. It’s set to be a beautiful weekend of live performance, and we can’t wait to see you there!”
Celebrated as the heart of emerging talent at Latitude, the Lavish Lounge will this year host the Faber Alt. & BBC Introducing Stage – a rich and eclectic showcase featuring artists whose work blurs genres, challenges conventions, and captures the spirit of independent artistry.
The 2025 line-up includes:
Seckou Keita – A UK-based Senegalese kora player and global musical innovator, Seckou has been described as “The Hendrix of the Kora”. His virtuosic performances fuse tradition with modernity and promise a transcendent live experience.
Keaton Henson – The cult singer-songwriter and composer presents a rare live rendition of his ambient album Somnambulant Cycles. Known for his emotional intensity and aversion to the spotlight, Henson’s appearance is a true Latitude exclusive.
SupaLung – A euphoric alt-soul duo blending 60s rock with modern grooves, SupaLung (Sam Brookes and Pete Josef) are set to deliver a joyous, feel-good set that’s as heartfelt as it is infectious.
Kloyd – London-based electronic producer and DJ Kloyd brings her signature atmospheric sound to the festival’s late-night offering. With sets at Fabric and support slots for Jacques Greene and Seb Wildblood, she’s a rising force in UK electronic music.
Tessa Rose Jackson – Songwriter, composer and storyteller, Tessa’s spellbinding live shows explore the fine line between dream and reality. A must for fans of Feist, Nick Drake, and Zero 7.
Sophie Jamieson – Signed to Bella Union, Sophie crafts raw, haunting songs that examine mental health and emotional resilience. Her full-band set promises catharsis and beauty in equal measure.
Wyldest – The dream-pop project of Zoe Mead, Wyldest blends lush reverb-drenched textures with themes of womanhood, identity, and creativity. Her cinematic compositions bring a reflective depth to the weekend.
Festivalgoers can also expect a handful of surprise performances across the weekend – secret sets from very special guests to be revealed on site.
This collaboration marks Faber Alt.’s debut at Latitude. A division of Faber Music, Faber Alt. represents a bold and progressive roster of alternative and genre-crossing artists, including Antony Szmierek, Alfa Mist, Keaton Henson, Lara Somogyi, Nubiyan Twist, and Henry Green.
“The Lavish Lounge has long been a home for discovery and breakthrough talent at Latitude,” said Melvin Benn, Latitude Founder and Festival Director. “Welcoming Faber Alt. into that space alongside our continued partnership with BBC Introducing is exactly the kind of collaboration Latitude exists for – one that brings bold ideas, fresh energy and exceptional talent to the fore.”
