    Anyone able to make me feel better and insist the day splits won’t be per the poster…? 

    was planning on managing to drag the partner to Phoebe with the premise of then seeing Lewis on another, going to be a tough sell if they are both Friday

    Originally a Suffolk local but not been latitude in an age, guessing won’t learn the splits / day tickets for a good while

    With any luck you won't have to see Lewis. Keep your fingers crossed.

    Well personally been drinking beer and eating steaks in the Garden with friends while our kids play in the pool 🙂

    Just watched the highlights of the F1 to see Lewis play a game of Mario kart to win the British Grand Prix and now its a glass of Malbec before I throw my mask on the bonfire 😛

    What a great day 🙂 

    Similar here mate, but with added tour de France. Have a great week.

    No worries😊 I may have been projecting my own anxieties 😉

    Literally can't wait to get there & put all this pandemic stuff out of my brain for 5 days!

    I put the Latitude playlist on Spotify yesterday whilst I was painting a new Glasto picture - not everything was to my taste but mainly a decent listen, it seemsd to be very Kaiser Chiefs heavy though 😅

    Pic of Glasto inspired work in progress in case anyone was interested 😊

    There's a lot that isn't to my taste either, but that's never really been a problem at latitude as there's always something close by to go and check out, or just take some time out to have something to eat and drink.

    For me there's far too many very dull singer / song writer type acts. I'm assuming you feel the same by the acts that you've mentioned that you are looking forward to?

    I wonder how many of the 500,000 people who were pinged this week by the app will take up the option instead now they've seen this? How do you even get on the trials? It takes the absolute piss 

    I just think it means that this shit is over

    No, 3D played in 2019

    Ah, I think there was a bit of confusion. I was referring to a post about PVA. Not to worry though, I'll probably be at 3D too

    I think it was on this thread that I mentioned I saw them last week (although seated - I wanted to dance!). They've mutated into serious after-dark territory in the past 18 months. No idea where they'd play at Latitude (not been before), but would love to see them post-headliner.

    The Alcove, which is a pretty small tent. I reckon it will be packed.

    Does anyone have any idea how late the after hours stuff goes on? My first time at latitude and i hate other festivals that literally shut everything at 12am. 

    Don't worry, definitely not midnight. Usually plenty to do well into the night, possibly 2 or 3am? 

  8. I've been listening to a lot of tracks by artists I've never heard of to get an idea of who to see and who to avoid. Seems to be a lot of very similar singer/songwriter acts, who do nothing for me at all. 

    Can anyone recommend any acts that I (we) might not have heard of that could be fun / interesting / exciting even?

    So its probably been asked before but i'm curious about which headliners people will be going to see?

    Friday: Wolf Alice vs Hot Chip vs Dry Cleaning

    Saturday Chemical Brothers vs Fontaines D.C. vs Black Honey

    Sunday Bastille (+ Bombay Bicycle Club) vs Sons of Kemet vs Greentea Peng

    Friday I think we'll end up at hot chip, although would be happy at either.

    Saturday chemical brothers, no question.

    Sunday we'll be at Bombay but not bastille.

    Reading Festival is bigger, better and altogether, meaner and keener, than Lattitude!!! Saying that I preferred Global Gathering to both of them!!

    That's one opinion I suppose. Lots of kids would agree, lots of grown ups wouldn't. Anyway, it's good that not all festivals are the same. I hope reading goes ahead for you.

    I would have got a Lattitude ticket, if it was another 10,000 person pilot thing. But when I found out it was full price and full capacity, I decided not to. At least all this means there might be a , full capacity Reading Festival. I’m really looking forward to that. 

    Any reason why you'd be happy going to reading at full capacity but not latitude?

    With the numbers soaring like they are including cases across the board. Unless you secure a pilot event then you won't get a lot this year. I feel once Kendall went the rest are kind of on the way. I'd say not many have have a lot longer than this week.

    Which numbers are soaring?

    Unfortunately this is the same thing that will see people having to pay longterm PCR tests for events. Because at the end of the day what's the difference between you paying for something, losing it the event but not keeping the money and paying a PCR test for the same price to attend something? The difference is the latter allows you to attend it. Too any clouded minded going in here. £40 from a few people on here will not save anything, a government funding which isn't going to happen would but we will pay for that longterm anyway when you see the price of everything go up again to justify it. 

    I'm all for gigs etc returning, I've got my festivals and gigs booked but I'm happy to let them happen in their own time rather than force them. 

    How is it an aggressive reply though?

    It's not £40 from a few people on here though is it? It's £40 from everybody who wants to buy a ticket, so if they sell 20,000 tickets that's £800,000 that they know they can fall back on. Nobody is being forced to pay anything, and you'd think that them having a bit of confidence (ie knowing that they have a bit of cash flow) will help them to get the wheels in motion.

    Let's get this right. You'd be happy to lose £40 quid on an event that doesn't go ahead? This is mad.

    That's basically me saying to you, this gig is £40, you aren't going to it but you're still paying for it. It's ludicrousy.

    You've got people out there struggling to make ends meat and put food on the same who would make a £40 shop last as long as possible but you would just chuck it away. 

    Yes I would.

    Why does every reply need to be so aggressive? It was just my opinion.
