Jon Dunn the Music Arenas Booker said, "Where do I start... The National, Paolo Nutini, Suede, Paloma Faith, Foals, Caribou, Deerhunter, The Vaccines, Edwyn Collins, Chapel Club, My Morning Jacket, Bright Eyes... I could list the bill but you know that. I'm very excited about this year's Latitude, I feel it will bring more highlights than ever before, the mix of acts is exciting with great new acts Glasser, Anna Calvi and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, alongside the likes of Edwyn Collins, OMD and Wanda Jackson. The thought process behind Latitude has always been to bring great artists to the festival with imagination, passion and talent, I really believe this is our best ever music bill."
