Wilderness and Latitude 2014 Summer Spectacular

This summer saw Diana Yukawa and her band take the stage at Latitude Festival in July and a few weeks later at Wilderness Festival - receiving great acclaim from both audiences at the highly regarded UK festivals.


Diana was overwhelmed with the response from the festival goers. “it’s one thing to spend months writing the music that you are passionate about, but to perform it and get a great response as we did at Latitude and Wilderness Festival, makes it all worthwhile as this is all I do it for – to connect with people”.


Attendees of both festivals were treated to a world’s first performance of the new music by Diana, songwriter and violinist. Diana co-wrote a majority of the music with the greatly talented producer Tom Ingleby – who also performed at the festivals with Diana, taking the helm at the Keyboard & laptop.

Diana comments “Tom is exceptionally talented and we both clicked together on the music well over a year ago – we are both extremely proud of what we have created and now simply want to share it with everyone”.


Diana’s next album featuring this new music is anticipated to be released in 2015.

Now in its ninth year and with a capacity of 35,000 people, Latitude Festival hasn't stopped it carving out its own place on the festival timetable. While a handful of music events have stumbled and fallen in the past few years, Latitude continues to develop a healthy reputation as one of Britain's most relaxed festival. It's idyllic England with the added eccentricity of woodland raves, stand-up comedy and multi-coloured sheep.

Wilderness, the festival of musicianship, theatre, talks, panel debates, late-night parties, outdoor pursuits and food experiences returned for a fourth year to Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire. The 10,000 capacity festival took place from Thursday 7th until Sunday 10th August 2014 and offered inclusive and a wide range of entertainment and activities that make the most of the most beautiful, unique natural setting.

Both are exceptional festivals that truly champion great, innovative music – both perfect stages for Diana to unveil her new music.

Diana Yukawa to take to stage at Latitude Festival 2014

Diana Yukawa and Latitude are thrilled to announce that the revolutionary solo violinist and songwriter Diana Yukawa will perform in the Film & Music Arena at this year’s Latitude Festival.

Sheltered by woods and circled by romantic waterways; whether it is a tranquil retreat or a wild, venturesome weekend you’re after, Latitude’s line-up and stunning setting never fails to deliver.




Yukawa says that she is thrilled to be part of the fantastic line up - “Latitude Festival’s reputation is known all over the world and I am thrilled to be part of the fantastic 2014 line-up”.
Headliners Two Door Cinema Club will fervidly kick off the ninth consecutive year of Latitude playing the Obelisk Arena on Friday night. Saturday, Britpop luminary Damon Albarn will perform songs from his acclaimed solo debut ‘Everyday Robots’ and Sunday will be brought to a climactic close by award-winning twosome The Black Keys.

In addition to the exceptional array of music including the revolutionary violinist Diana Yukawa in the Film and Music Arena, festivalgoers can catch side-splitting comedy from Tim Key and Dara Ó Briain, slam-poetry from Kate Tempest and Scroobius Pip and performances from The Royal Shakespeare Company.

It is expected that Diana will perform a host of brand new material, fresh out of the studio, enthralling the audience to an exclusive preview of her next album in addition to some favourites from her EP “Finding the Parallel”.

 

Diana comments “I am currently in the studio working on the brand new material for my next album so I expect the audience of Latitude Festival will be among the first to hear this – it will be an incredible honour to share my music, for the first time on such a highly regarded stage”

"Music, movies, comedy, literature... there's something for everyone at the best fest of the summer, with the warmest vibe."Total Film

"Latitude remains the queen of arts festivals."
Independent

"Latitude has found a sweet spot that keeps new music-delvers, the heritage rock crowd and curious-minded broadsheet readers all happy. Music is the main event, but this festival is all about the other stuff - comedy, poetry, books and political debate."
Q Magazine
