Latitude Festival have announced that Two Door Cinema Club will make the step up to headline the main stage next summer.
The band, who will play London's O2 Arena on Friday, will make their first headline appearance at a festival, with Latitude set to run between July 17 and 20 at Henham Park, Suffolk.
Speaking about the milestone performance, Kevin Baird from Two Door Cinema Club said:
"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."
Other acts featured in the first Latitude 2014 line up announcement include Norwegian electronic duo Röyksopp and Swedish indie-pop pioneer Robyn. In addition, Californian sister trio Haim will make their debut Latitude performance next year and winner of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards' ‘Roots Award’, Billy Bragg, will also be stopping off for a UK festival exclusive.
Latitude will also welcome Booker T. Jones, one of the all-time legends of Memphis soul and frontman of legendary Stax session band Booker T. & the MGs, as well as Anna Calvi following the release of her acclaimed album ‘One Breath’.
