The annual music festival takes place in Suffolk, south east England and will feature the artists, with alt-J eager to play the event because it's "always been so memorable" in the past.

The band said of the gig: "We are hugely excited to return to Latitude for the third time. Playing there has always been so memorable. Latitude has always supported us, and to go from playing the smaller stages to this means it will be a night of celebration."

Celebrating its tenth year, musical performances will also come from Manic Street Preachers, Caribou, The Vaccines, James Blake, SBTRKT, La Roux and Laura Marling.

With alt-J performing on the Friday night, Portishead and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will play their debut performances at the festival on the Saturday and Sunday nights respectively.

Elsewhere, an array of comedians including Alan Davies, Jon Richardson, Jason Manford, Jack Dee and Katherine Ryan are amongst those announced for the literary arts festival so far.

Event tickets are on sale now, with the festival taking place from July 16 to July 19.
