Latitude or Wychwood?

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.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

(Wychwood wins by a knockout in the 1st round)

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

    • I don't think they are too big for Castlefield these days. They've not had a new album for almost a decade and they like playing smaller venues. Maybe multiple nights is another option as they do like residencies 
    • Second half of next week I would expect for stage times.
    • made a last minute decision to go to Belladrum festival.   it was absolutely wonderful.   never been before, to be honest I think I was expecting a stage in a field and a burger van, but its nothing at all like that.   the site is beautiful, its small enough to get around, but big enough that there are things to discover round each corner, there are a good number of small stages tucked away.   you could quite easily convince yourself you were in Glastonbury in places.   I may have only been one time, but already learned a valuable lesson - the site itself may be Glastonbury like, but the "general camping" campsite is very much Reading like! as the morning mist rises... its a view like the Do Lung Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now...   so if you are not 15 years old, go to family or quiet camping which is fantastic.   its a real family friendly festival to - loads of families and kids of all ages running round and stuff for them to do.   I would 100% recommend it, and I really can't see any reason why I wont be going back next year!   🙂 
    • In terms of a Manchester/Leeds date, Wythenshawe? Too big for Castlefield Bowl, Kirkstall Abbey, Millennium Squade
