Latitude Festival 'won't get massive' Melvin Benn, the founder of the Latitude Festival, which runs from today until Sunday, says he has no plans to make the Suffolk-based event much bigger. Tomorrow's advanced tickets are completely sold out and around 35,000 visitors are expected at the festival in Henham Park, near Southwold, which is featuring headline acts such as Bon Iver, Elbow, Paul Weller, Tim Minchin, Rufus Wainwright, Jack Dee and Lana Del Ray. Benn said: "I am always open to new ideas, but I have no desire to make it massively bigger. It is a good medium size festival that offers diversity. It has become so loved and so established, and the artists love performing it. It is a unique festival that stands alone in terms of quality and depth. That is why it has developed such a name so quickly. In addition to the music there will be a wide range of theatre, dance, cabaret, including Mark Lamarr's God's Jukebox presents, and a science debate on the Higgs Bosen particle featuring Professor Brian Cox. Festival Republic recently signed a contract to keep the festival at Henham Park for at least the next 15 years.
