  1. I go every year, I used to go to the Big Chill and when the festival moved to the Eastnor I had to see what they were doing with the space. I love the festival. Really friendly atmosphere, a nice size and usually have some great acts. This year is the first year I haven't liked the line up but i am still confident it will be a brilliant weekend. We book a pitch so we can park next to the tent and take far to much stuff with us, and because it is a nice relaxed festival it is the only festival i go to that actually feels like a holiday.

    This was my first Latitude since 2015. I had a brilliant time. And as a festival there are some great things about it. Good line up, never feels too busy, friendly staff and other people. but a lot has gone changed since i last went and not all for the better. It is startling how much more corporate it is. It never used to feel quite as bad, but this year it all felt overwhelming. The toilets while always clean were too few and far between, especially in camping. And the camping was an absolute shambles. No organisation, not enough walkways though the campsites so no easy access in or out and a 30 minute walk to the arena from Green camping is bonkers. The chair brigade seems to have increased a lot and a few flag w*nkers starting to appear is always a bad sign. The things that the festival do well it does really well but I’m not sure the price hike is worth it. It would have to be a pretty special line up to get me back as there are many other festivals that do the good as well as they do.

    The amount of room dedicated to camper-vans since I last went is unbelievable. It must have got even more ‘middle class’ lol

    When did Lau.ra appear. That is rather exciting.
  7. Set a rule. No bigger than a piece of a3 paper and only one to a flag pole. This would at least stop the absolute w*nkers with massive and multiple flags.
  8. If unsure see the thing you aren't going to see again. I'm not much into McCartney but thought had better go as the chances of seeing a Beatle again were low. would rather have been at Roisin Murphy or Jamie T. Best decision I have ever made, one of my best ever Glastonbury experiences and I have seen Roisin since and I'm sure I will get a chance to see Jamie T (although they did both look great on iPlayer)
  9. i have used these for the last 10 years without any proble,s at all. work well in all senario Blue Diamond Hard Ground Tent Pegs, Orange, One Size : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

    I have only been once before and that was back in 2015. If I remember correctly I went to Club De Fromage then too. That is rubbish if they do it every year, but has been long enough that I am looking forward to it. Usually I find at most festivals you are stuck with overcrowded dance areas for late night. I love dance music but I am a bit old to be doing it late for more than one night lol

    The Churnups Poll

    Will be funny as hell when it turns out it is a competition winner actually called 'The Churnups' and the local pub band got lucky.

    Need a magnifying glass but some more acts announced. Club De Fromage and Guilty Pleasures are always good fun.

    happy to see Panic Shack on the line up. Beetles Dub Club is always a whole lot of fun too.
