£175 weekend adult ticket
Daily capacity: 35,000
We arrived at Latitude festival, early afternoon on the Friday. The weather was dry but overcast and the land was doing well to take in all the rain from the previous six weeks of this balmy British summer. Even though there was severe mud in places the organisers had responded quickly and used wood chip to limit the effect on people travelling around the site.
Fully sated we settled back into the now quite large crowd to watch American Folk rockers Bon Iver. There were plenty of discussions taking place around us about how to pronounce their name so it came as a huge relief that they announced themselves when they came out on stage (its bon eever if you're interested). They then went on to fill the Suffolk air with a beautiful wistful sound that ended the day on a fine note. We all walked away happy hoping that the next couple of days would be as good as this one.
