Got to choose between these 2. I was thinking Latitude at first 'cos Elbow are rumoured to be playing. But a festival's more than the headliner right? And I can catch them on tour. Plus they may not play.

I have a 9yo so I want something quite kiddy friendly. Never been to either before. Only been to Blissfields. Am a bit worried that Latitude might be too big a jump from such a small festival. :P

Also this year will be the last year my daughter gets in for free at Wychwood. Wheras Latitude kids are free till they're 12 I think.

Hi there

I have not been to Latitude before, but I did go to Wychwood for the first time last year. It is a brilliant family friendly festival, which usually has a great line up. Levellers are there this year which is a major plus for me. Very relaxed, not may of the fold up seat brigade who insist in sitting at the front. It never felt crowded, so you can easily get up close to the acts that you really want to see. I reooked at last years festival, which I don't normally do.

I would recommend it.

Cheers

Elbow - according to the words of Guy Garvey (as told tyo me) - are not planning on playing any festivals this year, as they're working on their new album.

It's possible - if they get the album finished early - that they might take a late festie booking, but that pretty much rules them out of being a major announcement for any festival.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Greenman in this thread! If you're worried about the jump in size from wychwood, then greenman is perfect. I think its 11000 more or less, the line up is always incredible and it caters for kids superbly..

However if it came to a fight between wychwood and latitude i think the latter would win- They have lots of henchmen behind them in live nation

      What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.

      2027 Headliners

      By ghostdancer1 · Posted

      Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......

      I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
