Twinning! Slow Savage during that Idles set was brutal on my fragile mind that morning. Only narrowly squeezing out Simz, Kae Tempest and Self Esteem mind.

Definitely. Williams Green and a late night Shangri-la set would be magical! Whilst we're there, get Grove on too. They were great supporting last night. Discovered Lynks on the main stage at Latitude last year - can't quite see him on the Pyramid but it'd be a hell of a way to blow the cobwebs away!

Every time I see Lynks it gets weirder and madder. Rowdy one at Heaven tonight and just ridiculous fun. Great Wet Leg cover. Plus a song about making béchamel sauce sung whilst wearing a full body and face sequin suit? Why, yes. Get them in the Rabbit Hole for bizarre late night vibes please.

Yeah, 10am - Greenpeace. Come on the Thursday and a part of our crew (30-40ish) do it every year in fancy dress. I’m planning to be a ‘bat out of hell’ for this year.

Andy P and Thundercat in Italy on the Friday.

In the last 5+ years See coaches have departed from the coach park at North Greenwich (Jubilee Line)

Looks like they are - on sale Friday with the general sale tickets. Limited locations though. https://www.biggreencoach.co.uk/events/nine-inch-nails-coach-travel

Anyone who (like me) loved VLURE - they're playing a free show in London on Thursday 26th August, tickets on DICE 👍

We've had a confirmed case in our group today. I've been doing daily lateral flows and they're all coming back negative - went for a PCR today to check, just in case. I had an email from Big Green Coach (whom I travelled with) earlier this week to say someone on my return coach, after presenting a negative lateral flow to get on, went for a PCR to fly out of the UK and was positive. If I do end up being negative after all this I've either recently had Covid and not known, or my awful immune system has finally got its act together!

No Foo Fighters (that I remember!) but we got a fun version of Get Lucky (sound of the summer, I'm telling you), Rick doing the drums to to Highway to Hell and a song that involved splitting the crowd in half to sing 'Monkey Sh1t, Gravel Dirt' - continued to sing that all weekend. On stage he's a thoroughly charming and funny bloke - the worst thing about him is definitely his own songs!

Soul healed, body broken. No idea how I used to do a full season of these weekends. Saw an awful lot over the weekend - one of the benefits of it being a compact site (unless you’re heading back to the campsite, what a mission). Hot Chip, Chems and Sons of Kemet for my headliners, all incredible. Accidentally saw Rick Astley doing a full covers set in the Trailer Park at midnight on Saturday, which was suitably bizarre but thoroughly enjoyable! Latitude did well to pull that off and manage to order the weather to behave too! Usual gripes - food queues did get ridiculous, main bar ‘selection’ appalling. So many teenagers that at times it felt like I was crashing a GCSE results party. Nothing that could take the shine off being at an actual real life festival again. Not sure Latitude is ever going to be in my regular rotation of festivals but it was everything I needed.
