Franz Ferdinand to headline Latitude 2008
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly March 19th, 2008

The organisers of Latitude Festival have let one cat out of the bag ahead of tonight’s grand line-up announcement and that cat is Glaswegian, named after a murdered German archduke, loves afrobeat and has a natty way with a post-punk riff.

That’ll be Franz Ferdinand, then. As we mentioned, the rest of the line-up will be announced just after half past six this evening – DrownedinSound will be there, sneering at the vol-au-vents and jotting down all the relevant details.

Latitude takes place from the 17th ‘til the 20th of July in Suffolk. Tickets go on sale tonight.
