The Black Keys bring Latitude Festival to a close

Latitude festival came to a close last night (20 July) with a headline performance from The Black Keys.

The ever-increasing popularity of the rock two-piece from Ohio was evident, with festival goers flocking to the main stage for their performance. The set list included fan favourite 'Lonely Boy', along with songs like 'El Camino' and 'Gold on the Ceiling', that really got the crowd going. There was even a mosh pit or two, something practically unheard of at Latitude. 

The festival which was held at Henham Park, Suffolk, endured some spectacular storms over the weekend but rain held off for the Black Keys' set. Despite the intermittent fluctuations, the weather was largely summery in the day with highs of 28C.

Other highlights from day 3 of the 35,000 capacity event included: Aussie psych-rockers Tame Impala, Philadelphia alt-rockers The War On Drugs, and Brooklyn Rough Trade signees Parquet Courts.

While the weekend passed largely without incident, a 17-year-old male tragically died on Sunday morning after being airlifted from the festival. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a statement read by BBC news said: "The young male suffered from an isolated medical condition".
