“Boasting a mix of brilliant ideas, visuals, speakers and music, it will be the destination location with Adam Green in conversation before a screening of his adaptation of Aladdin and a live performance of the soundtrack with a full band,” said arts curator Tania Harrison.

“As ever, it’s as much about the music as it is film with Submotion Orchestra, Koreless and Andy Stott all set to fill the bespoke arena with their unique sounds, plus The London Contemporary Orchestra who will be presenting exciting works by Jonny Greenwood, Mica Levi, Michael Gordon and Steve Reich. The Latitude audience will find something brilliant and inspiring in this arena any time of day.”

Comedian and presenter Adam Buxton will present a special edition of his BUG show, dedicated to the work of David Bowie, celebrating his music video output as well as other on-screen appearances in a journey through some of the key moments of Bowie’s life and career.

Also appearing in the film and music arena is Holly Gilliam, the producer of The Meaning of Live, who will be conducting a question and answer session alongside the screening. The film follows the stars of Monty Python as they reform and stage a 10 show marathon at The O2 in London.

Guilty Pleasures features DJs, dancers, live bands and cabaret performers; Buttoned Down Disco returns, mixing indie anthems with classic dancefloor-fillers and club founder and resident DJ Christian Laing will be mashing up eclectic pop, indie, punk, electro, funk and disco late into the night.

Rave Karaoke makes its Latitude debut with host and DJ Anna Greenwood. Expect classic dance tracks from the 1990s to now. Latitude’s late night programme at Pandora’s Playground will host Disco Shed every night. It takes the best elements of modern clubbing but disguises it among all the stuff you’d find in your dad’s shed to make a truly unique entertainment space and novel curiosity.
