Latitude 2011 // Festival highlights

While this year's Latitude line-up may not have had quite the commercially attractive draws of its preceeding year, it was without doubt as engaging, diverse and inspiring as ever.

A festival that fails to sell out is perhaps a sign that your ticket investment may not offer equal returns. However, a festival is better judged on the number of tough, band-clash choices you have to make, so with Suede up against Eels, Lykke Li battling Gold Panda, Anna Calvi vying with The Leisure Society, Everything Everything mixing it with Iron & Wine, and Foals locking horns with Paolo Nu... Well perhaps not all decisions were difficult.

Here's our pick of the music we caught at Latitude 2011, with a couple of live videos from The National and Suede, alongside the pick of the rest.

The National: Son and About Today - Friday, Obelisk



Suede: Animal Nitrate - Sunday, Obelisk



Foals: Blue Blood - Saturday, Word Arena



The Walkmen: Angela Surf City - Saturday, Word Arena



Mazes: Summer Hits or J+J Don't Like - Sunday, Lake Stage



Anna Calvi: Jezebel, Sunday, Obelisk

In honour of the Latitude line up announcement and the fact that the great man of C86 pop will be performing, what better time to relish his genius? What a good looking chap. And what boots, what boots!
