Latitude Festival released details of more artists for this year's event including Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, The Jayhawks, Chrissie Hynde and Augustines.

The Augustines said "We are super proud to be playing the BBC 6Music tent at Latitude festival this year. We've spent many months improving our live show so expect some nice surprises! Festivals are very unique and each one has their own little charm. Latitude 2012 was really fun for us. Not only was it slightly humorous to see the pink sheep wandering around but we all enjoyed the quaint little boat ride which we were privileged to take to get us to the stage. The great thing about Latitude is it’s vibe. It’s a big festival but there is a great sense of community and intimacy. Hopefully the weather will be as glorious as it was the last time. If you see us walking around, come and say hello…. if not, we’ll see you down the front."

Chrissie Hynde comented “Latitude is turning into one of the great British festivals. The site and the atmosphere really make it a very special weekend, so of course I am particularly looking forward to playing there this year. When The Pretenders played there in 2009 it was amazing and this year should be even better. I’m very happy to be back!”

Other artists announced today: Rhodes, Tycho, D.D Dumbo, Vaults, Solomon Gre, Years & Years, Elliphant, Childhood, Future Islands, MNEK, Syd Arthur and Danni Nicholls.

Latitude, the pioneering, award-winning festival bursts with the very best from Music and the Arts; wander from Film to Music, Comedy to Literature and Theatre to Poetry in the stunning setting of Henham Park in the Suffolk countryside. Set in rolling hills around fairylight-lit woods, a lake and featuring a flock of multicoloured sheep, it really is the cultural highlight of the summer festival season.

Other artists appearing includes Damon Albarn, The Black Keys, Two Door Cinema Club, Röyksopp and Robyn, Haim, Billy Bragg, Booker T. J, Anna Calvi, Tame Impala, Bombay Bicycle Club, Daryl Hall & John Oates, and Slowdive

Latitude Festival takes place from Thu 17th to Sun 20th July at Henham Park Estate, Southwold
