Snow Patrol headline culture festival
Published Friday, Apr 28 2006, 20:20 BST | By Matthew Houghton
Indie rockers Snow Patrol will be the first headliners at the new Meanfiddler festival Latitude.
The Suffolk-based event will not only focus on music but a range of art, including literature, poetry and comedy.
The aim according to director Melvin Benn is to create a "genteel, less manic feel" and Meanfiddler, who also organise the Carling Weekend in Reading and Leeds consider it a step towards a more European style of festival.
Benn added, "I want to be able to wander from books to music to film in the way you can in your own sitting room."
