Radiohead's Thom Yorke will perform an exclusive, one-off solo show at Latitude Festival next month.

The 40-year-old legend will open The Obelisk Arena at midday on Sunday (July 19) in what promises to be a very special set.

Melvin Benn, Managing Director of organisers Festival Republic, said: ‘There is nothing I can add that Thom Yorke’s confirmation doesn't already say.

“That it is a special one off performance for Latitude only fills me with enormous pride at the statement it makes about the festival. I am overjoyed at the thought of it.”

This year's Latitude is headlined by Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
