Nope, Just maybe some showers, no panic necessary.
Is the forecast looking bleak then?

Ride won't be playing Park, the guy who said they were admitted he was guessing about that but still maintains he has good info they're playing somewhere. Don't see it myself, not really worth their effort.
Exactly. There is absolutely no chance that RIDE are playing the Crows Nest. Its far too small. It goes against the rule that unannounced acts can only play on a stage that is able to cope with the expected crowds should word get out. They could do the Park at a push but there doesn't seem to be a time slot. They could have done the friday other opener but that seems tied to the Charlatans now?

I was walking through the market area between the Pyramid and Other Stage one year and noticed a big space had cleared around a particular trinket stall. In the middle of the cleared area was two beekeepers dressed in full suits removing a angry swarm of buzzing nasties that appeared to have settled on the stall, there was thousands of them! It was clearly not conducive to shopping!

I have hospitality parking - last year I turned up Wednesday and entered through the hospitality gate next to Gate A. Would love to stay over Tuesday night, but it's not possible for numerous reasons. So we have a disagreement on whether you can set up tents in the public areas on Tuesday or not then?
There's no disagreement at all. You officially CAN'T set up tents in the public areas on tuesday. Sure, you hear anecdotal evidence of some people who have done it and gotten away with it. Maybe the patrol missed them or decided to give them a break, who knows. But if you take the risk and pitch tents on tuesday you run the risk of security catching you red handed and giving you a ticking off or worse, security decide to pull up your tent when you're not there and take it away somewhere. Where you'd get it back from I have no idea! Best pitch on wednesday morning is my advice, some of the staff I'm with do just that.

Here's the blurb:
"The Tow and Hitch is an intimate, traditional pub to unwind in after a hard days graft. Over the weekend, DJ's will be laying down tunes from across the spectrum until the dawn and the bar is the perfect place to watch the Arcadia show in style, whilst kicking back on a chesterfield and sippin' on a tipple in front of a roaring fire."

Cool! Thanks Paulo, I will definitely be going there!

The Arcadia crew bar "The Tow and Hitch" will open to all crew this year, from dusk til dawn from the 18th.
Cool! What should we expect there Paulo?

I remember drunkenly walking through a manned gate up to a bar where Florence Welch was, only then it clicked I wasnt supposed to be there. I assume this is it? I turned left somewhere in SE corner and slightly up a hill?
That sounds about right!
-
This was the booze selection in 2013
That should do it!
-
Is this the place that was decorated like an inside-out house (with board games)? I seem to recall you got there by following a path through the trees from the side of Shangi La (towards the loos/Rocket Lounge etc). If so it was brilliant in 2013.
From the pictures I've seen that doesn't sound like the right place to me. The pics I've seen show a tent with a wooden bar, lots of ciders and ales and a wooden seated area. Unless I'm wrong?
-
Craig Charles drinks there (apparently!)
-
I will have an EPO so that should be fine. I'm hoping I have the directions right, just over the other side of the treeline from the deluxe diner I'm told?
-
Maybe so, but I like the idea of having the option of bolting out of Shangri La when the crowds and craziness get a little too much and being able to recharge with a comparatively calmer pint before diving back into the madness! It is located, if I understand it right, very close to the action, but hidden away just enough so that only crew folk know it's there.
-
Has anyone here spent any time at this bar before? It's the Shangri La Crew Bar located in their crew camping field . It looks smashing from the pics I've located. I understand that they will serve folk from other site crews as long as they have a laminate of some sort and they don't take the mick by turning up with 50 people and swamping the place!
Does this sound right to anyone who knows the bar? I'm onsite from tuesday morning and would love to check it out on Tuesday night? Last year I drank at the Bread and Roses which opens pre-festival and it was nice but Wally's looks nicer!

I am 50 in 18 days
If you are 50 on the 24th you are older than me by one day!

Does it matter?

All of our kids are BD's veterans now, and at least two of them had their first experiences there when only a number of weeks old. Its all achievable and loads of fun, aim for the Redwood family camping and you're onto a winner, you'll be surrounded by other families and kids of all ages. Enjoy!

Hall and Oates, deffo.
-
You shouldn't be, it's far from their best song. They've moved on from it now and thats a good thing.
-
They do have ways to prevent this and make life very difficult for you, but what an incredibly selfish thing to even suggest. If every one of the volunteers had that attitude the festival would literally collapse overnight and have to be shut down.
-
Can't see it myself. She's really not suited for the BD's audience. I'm not sure where Neil got his info from, I wonder if his source got confused with The Wilderness Festival? Neils rumour page also has Gogol Bordello down as a rumour and they appear to be in Europe that weekend.

I thought Glastonbury already was a big fun fair?
-
It happens to people every year. I've seen it myself.
It's horrible and undignified to watch, grown adults crying when they realise they've travelled all that way, and their ticket is removed.
-
Has anyone actually considered the possibility is that whats written in the programme arent clues at all? Just some generic non-specific hyperbole written by somebody to fill up the space because they haven't been told who the band is yet?
Then again that would give you lot nothing to talk would it!
Latitude 2018
in Latitude
Posted
We're festival veterans of many ( many!) years but this is our first venture to Latitude this year. We've been lucky enough to get weekend performer guest passes which apparently allow camping in the performer campsite? Has anyone had any experience of this side of the weekend? We are only able to arrive on friday morning, will the performer campsite be packed? I'm not interested in the prospect of "being backstage" as a novelty in itself as I treat celebrities as I would treat anyone else but does the performer guest pass gain us any "extras" such as showers, bars etc? Many thanks if anyone can share any of their own experiences on this ticket. Hugely looking forward to it all! X
