LATEST LINE UP ANNOUNCEMENT - June 10th - 10 June 2010 14:46

~ LoneLady ~ Submotion Orchestra ~ Morning Parade ~ O Children ~

A deliciously unexpected treat waits within the fragrant woods on the other side of the lake. The Sunrise Arena, situated along the nature trail spattered with flourishes of art and decadent spirit, is host to a splendid foray of new acts. Some of them will have been on the hushed lips of dedicated gem hunters for a while and others will be on the rise already, about to break for all to enjoy.

Warp's latest exploration into the dark pop world away from their roots has led to the discovery of LoneLady. Hailing from Manchester, Julie Campbell represents its early eighties heyday where gloom and insecurity resulted in spacious, resonant and dark sounds. Her debut album ‘Nerve Up’ has been critically lauded for its doom-laden, scratchy pop and is already being talked up as the spearhead for a real Mancurian resurgence.

Leeds 7-piece Submotion Orchestra incorporate dubstep textures into a flowing, brooding vibe. Utilising live percussion and trumpet as well as vocals and electronics, their icy but rippling sound is meshed from each individual's sparse contribution. Perfectly suited to the shady woodland area of the Sunrise Arena, this laid back, machismo-free live experience will be luxurious.

Essex lads Morning Parade, who've just finished supporting the mighty Feeder in venues across the continent, create massive, reverb-ridden tunes that are arena-and festival-ready. A seductive blend of electronics, keys and guitars with anthemic choruses, this band's ambitions are clear. Sliding melody lines, huge rushes of distortion and plenty of room for unforgettable vocal refrains; it won't be long before these lads are headlining stages across the country.

O Children's bold, stark, bone-shaking music is driven with theatrical pomp and Tobi O'Kandi's quaking baritone. Touring relentlessly since their inception a little under two years ago, they're primed to bring their sombre, but inspired goth-rock to a wider audience on Latitude's Sunrise Arena. Not for the faint hearted perhaps, but under the shady canopy their rubble-strewn rumble will entice the dark side of the audience from its hiding place.
