Kevin Baird from Two Door Cinema Club commented, "It's really exciting for us to be headlining Latitude in 2014. Over the past 5 years we've made the progression from playing in the small tents to being close to the top of the bill on the main stage. Headlining a great festival like Latitude is obviously quite a big deal for us but we also feel like it is the next natural step. We're ready to headline. We're ready to smash it."

Latitude isn't just about music and colourful sheep, but has a full spectrum of art including film, comedy, theatre, cabaret, dance, poetry, literature and art.

Next year Latitude's theme will be Secrets, exploring the difficult relationship between the private and public worlds of individuals, communities and wider society.

Organisers announced, "Secrets large and small, benign and malign will be explored across Latitude’s arts arenas as the festival takes a look at the way humans have attempted to keep things to themselves throughout their history and into modern times.

"From Edward Snowden’s leaks to Tom Daley’s more recent revelations, superheroes’ secret identities to the identities of undercover police officers who infiltrate terrorist groups, the secret is an idea that will manifest itself at Latitude 2014 in the form of theatre, live events, readings, installations and much, much more."
