This festival looks good - I believe I'll be going. Very amped for another bout of Run The Jewels and missed LCD Soundsystem last time round. Last ticket release at the moment, at 90 pounds for a weekend ticket - does anyone think it will sell out, should I get in and buy soon?

Took me a while to track this one down - assumed it'd be in the UK festivals thread....

We've just decided to go for the Saturday - it's bloody expensive but I think it's just about worth it for LCD and George Clinton. Presuming those two won't clash?

Keen to hear any other recommendations from the bill and any feedback from people who've been before.

Will it sell out? Hoping to get tickets in next couple of weeks :)

My mate made my mind up for during a WhatsApp convo.

 

"I'm getting the tickets now, do you want one?"

 

"I'll see they're really expensive."

 

"I just got yours, you owe me £65."

 

"Fair enough - can't wait!"

 

We all need a friend like that.

I'm having a similar discussion with my other half, but with me playing the role of your friend.

It's crazy expensive, but it's LCD. And I'm sure there'll be other good stuff on the bill besides Clinton. And I'm reckless.

FYI for those on O2 Priority you can get 2 for 1 Lovebox tickets until tomorrow - pretty good deal.

We were only going to go for the Saturday but I've gone for this anyway as crazily one weekend ticket still works out cheaper than buying two day tickets! Will be nice to wander over on Friday after work too, although I've no idea about anyone on the bill besides Major Lazer and Run The Jewels. Both of whom I've seen before and might do again.

So excited that I'm now officially seeing LCD! It's been too long... Also the food options look pretty wicked.

How is Lovebox? 

I have done field day but found the crowd hard to deal with. What is Lovebox crowd like?

I would also like to know this - also, not having been to field day, any feedback in general about the site etc. Not too fussed anyway as it's always fairly easy to avoid the w*nkers at most things...

Food options look great! 

My wristbands arrived the other day so really looking forward to this now. LCD!

If it weren't for Latitude I'd be there on Saturday. Can't argue with LCD Soundsystem, George Clinton and Kiasmos.

Ooh what are Kiasmos like then? Thanks for the recommendation.

Very jealous about Latitude! See The National for me :)

So... I take it LCD were good at Glastonbury? Haven't been able to bring myself to enter the relevant thread...

Yeah, LCD fucking nailed it at Glastonbury, one for the ages. If their Lovebox show is even half as good, you're in for an amazing evening. I can't really explain what it is that makes them so good, it's just that band, playing those tunes, sounding ridiculously great. The band's having a great time, the crowd are loving it, it's just everything you'd expect, but as good as that can possibly be.

Kiasmos are Olafur Arnolds' side project with his mate. Nice ambient electronica, perfect accompaniment to a relaxing drink.

When I see The National at Latitude, it will be for me!

Not so ambient live, mind. Proper thumping techno.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
