Damon Albarn will perform songs from his extensive back catalogue at this year’s Latitude music festival.
The Blur and Gorillaz frontman has been confirmed as a special guest performer and is set to take the lakeside Waterfront stage at Henham Park, Suffolk on July 24 for a sunset performance.
An announcement on the Latitude website reads: “Expect to hear songs from throughout Damon’s career performed on Latitude’s iconic Waterfront stage.
“It’s guaranteed to be an unforgettable show, so don’t miss out!”
His appearance at the event comes following the announcement of the star’s second solo album ‘The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows’ on November 12.
Alongside the album, which features recent single Polaris, the star is also set to drop a series of cinematic films entitled ‘Sublime Boulevards – Performance Films’ to accompany the new music.
Last month, Latitude bosses confirmed the 2021 event will go ahead at full capacity as part of the UK Government’s Event Research Programme (ERP).
Melvin Benn, Festival Director of Latitude, said: “We have been working extremely hard to make sure that Latitude Festival can go ahead safely at full capacity.
“Becoming an ERP event gives us the security of going ahead.
“Crucially the additional research collected at Latitude will benefit all festivals and live events moving forward. Everyone will be welcome to attend as long as they have a negative lateral flow test or proof of two vaccinations.
“After many months without live music and arts, we are ecstatic to return with a full capacity festival.
“Restarting festivals is crucially important to the wellbeing of everyone in society and we hope that Latitude will be the first of many festivals to take place this summer!”
