Support new music: choose from our favourite new albums this month.

Latitude Festival  has announced a very special guest to the line-up of the event  taking place in Henham Park this July.

Radiohead front-man and indie poster boy the world over Thom Yorke will be playing a solo set on the Obelisk Arena at noon on Sunday. The organisers - Festival Republic -  conjured up the noon-slot especially for Yorke to snag the very rare solo performance by the man.

Back in 2006 Yorke released his first solo album, ‘The Eraser’, which received a nomination for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize as well as a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.

Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic said:

"There is nothing I can add that Thom Yorke’s confirmation doesn't already say.

"That it is a special one off performance for Latitude only fills me with enormous pride at the statement it makes about the festival. I am overjoyed at the thought of it.”

Hosting four music arenas, the Obelisk, Uncut, Sunrise and The Lake Stage, Latitude will take place from July 16-19 at Henham Park in Southwold Suffolk. Weekend tickets cost £150 (plus booking fees) and include car parking and camping. Day tickets are also available.
