Lead singer, Sharleen Spiteri, said: "We are really excited to be playing Latitude this year. The reaction to our new album 'The Conversation' has overwhelmed us and we know we are going to have a great time playing some of the new tracks to everyone!"

The band joins the likes of Bloc Party, Kraftwerk 3-D and Foals who have already been announced.

In the All New Food Area organisers are promising 'the culinary spectacular of 2013'.

Shappi appeared on shows such as Live At The Apollo and Have I Got News For You.

Fans of Made In Chelsea will also be in for a treat with the appearance of Jamie Laing, who'll be presenting the graduate fashion show.

And if the entertainment gets too much, organisers have announced there will be saunas and hot tubs next to the lake for festival goers to relax in.

Organiser Melvin Benn said: "This is an incredibly diverse festival, we've  got underground acts alongside household names like Eddie Izzard, and it's that kind of diversity that makes it really interesting. It brings an incredible array of different people the the festival."
