Maverick pop star and composer extraordinaire Rufus Wainwright has been booked to play the prestigious Sunday midday slot on the main stage at Latiutude 2012. Previous acts to play this slot have been Thom Yorke and Joanna Newsom.

This year the coveted midday performance on Latitude’s Obelisk Arena has been changed to the slightly later time of 1.00pm.  This change will allow festival-goers to enjoy both Rufus and also world famous concert pianist Lang Lang, without competition from any of the other stages. Lang Lang will perform on the stunning floating Waterfront Stage set to the glorious backdrop of the Latitude lake at noon. Following on from Lang Lang, Rufus’ set will undoubtedly be a spellbinding show and the perfect way to ease your way into the final day’s festivities.

Latitude is headlined by Bon Iver, Elbow & Paul Weller, weekend and day tickets are on sale now!
