Thom Yorke has been added to the bill of this year's Latitude festival as a special guest.

The Radiohead frontman will play a solo slot at the Obelisk Arena at midday on the Sunday of the festival.

Festival Republic boss Melvin Benn 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."

The headliners for this year's Latitude have been confirmed as Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Grace Jones and Pet Shop Boys.

The festival takes place at Henham Park in Southwold, Suffolk from July 16 to 19.
