The Weeknd is set to headline Saturday night while Mumford and Sons will take to the stage on Sunday.
The band will also take over the festival on Sunday with their personally curated line-up as part of their Gentlemen Of The Road Stopover events.
Speaking about the festival the band said: “This collaboration with Latitude is one of the most exciting things we’re doing this year. Ever since we started working on Gentlemen Of The Road Stopovers, we’ve really enjoyed curating line-ups and sharing not only our own music but also sharing music of artists who we love and are listening to regularly.
Included amongst the acts within the collab are BAABA MAL, Jack Garratt, Glass Animals, Lucy Rose and The Very Best.
We're very excited to be taking over a day at @LatitudeFest and @LongitudeFest this Summer with a handpicked line-up! pic.twitter.com/XVH0x5ZiXL
