  1. Hi Has anyone stayed offsite at this Festival before. If so, where’s the best places to stay and how easy is it to get in and out each day. There seems to be a cab pick up/down point at the green gate if anyone could tell me where that is?

    TIA for any assistance.

    Another Question for people that may know.  I’ve seen people say that this has no cross-over with IOW festival but does anyone know if there are any particular festivals it does share acts with

    Recently it was part of Global so shared acts with the likes of Tramlines, Truck, Y-Not etc. 
    Think that’s changed a bit now but still think there is a connection with Truck and Tramlines.

  3. Three down three to go. Who do we reckon?

    Think Lana Del Rey is a cert. She’s about and seems a perfect fit for this festival.

    For a heavier day Biffy and Royal Blood are both about - how about a super co-header with those two. Think that would probably sell out.

    Arcade Fire been rumoured for ages but no sign of them touring? The National are about but they played here two years ago and BST last year - surely that’s too soon. The Strokes are also around. Could they put them on again after their sound problems last year.

    If they want a dad/lad rock day could easily see someone like The Stereophonics doing it. Their stock still seems pretty high and would sell well with the right line up. 
     

    Who do we reckon for the last three then?

  4. Bit surprised by the reaction here to be honest. Looks like a strong something for everyone line up to me. People need to remember Latitude isn’t some niche boutique offering these days. They have 40k tickets to shift and I think they will with this.

  5. Been to the last two Rockaway Beaches but can’t make this year unfortunately. I think it’s brilliant. There are no band clashes so you can see everyone if you want. Afternoon and early evening are in the smaller Reds venue and the evening and night is in the bigger place.

    if you want a break from music there’s always the sports bar or you can have a stroll along the front. There’s a another bar where they do album playbacks which is pretty good too.

    Mid Jan is not an ideal time for many cash wise so I guess that’s why it struggles to sell out although it must be cheaper to get the venue at that time of year.

    I did go to Shiine On in Minehead a couple of years ago which I also enjoyed but it is much much busier and more of a lads lads lads experience.
