The Wave Pictures head up the line-up on the last day. Sunday will also have Thecocknbullkid and her bleeping sample-led dance funk, and Nottingham upstarts Lovvers. Speaking of his involvement with Latitude, Huw Stephens said, "Latitude, as well as being in an idyllic location with so many different things going on, has a huge emphasis on quality new music. It's to be found on all the stages in different ways, but the Introducing music on the Lake Stage is like the first crop of new music, freshly squeezed and a lot of the time playing a festival for the first time. The emphasis is on quality, ideas, freshness and making sure it is an intriguing mix of the good stuff." They are the latest additions to an extensive bill of acts headlined by Franz Ferdinand, Sigur Ros, and Interpol with other acts like Julian Cope, Martha wainwright, British Sea Power, Blondie, Death Cab For Cutie, Seasick Steve, Crystal Castles, Elbow, The Breeders, Amadou And Mariam, and M.I.A.
