Latitude have announced that this year's event has been cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2020 festival was due to take place at Henham Park, Suffolk from 16-19 July, but today (27 April), organisers have released a statement announcing the cancellation of Latitude Festival 2020.
Organisers write, "Latitude Festival will no longer be taking place this year. We've been closely monitoring this unprecedented situation and it's become clear that it's just not possible for this year's festival to go ahead."
