Stunning photos of Alt-J headlining Latitude

17 July 2015: To cut to the chase, Alt-J's long-awaited headline set at Latitude will go down as one of the true musical highlights of summer 2015.

Cynics may think their tight-knit introverted sounds more suited to a more intimate and humble environment - but the truth is that their charming eccentricity and idiosyncrasies were multiplied tenfold in wide open space, as the live translation of the likes of 'Hunger Of The Pine', 'Fitzpleasure' and 'Something Good' bloom into a far more cinematic and life-affirming experience. 

"Latitude, it would be very special if you sang this next song with us," said keyboard man Gus Unger-Hamilton - before the packed out field roared back the words to 'Matilda'. Their cover of Bill Withers' 'Lovely Day' sent waves of fans into a deep swoon, before 'Breezeblocks' proved itself a bona fide modern day alt-anthem. Radiohead-sized greatness awaits them. One might not put the term 'crowd pleasers' and Alt-J in the same sentence, but the truth of the matter is that's all that Alt-J do - they were born to headline.
