Thanks for the info, do you know when it usually sells out?

I guess it depends who gets announced. I don't think weekend tickets have completely sold out in recent years however with Glasto having a break they could do this year, especially if they have booked a solid line up.

Okay cheers, think I’ll take the risk and wait for the lineup to be released :)

Latitude has the worst buildup to announcement date ever. 

No substantial rumours. 

No connections. 

No hints.

I make it my mission to get a contact to help this thread for Latitude festival for 2019...

Hoping that the lack of substantial rumors/hints means they're going to knock it out of the park with their announcement this year. Maybe there is a reason they are being super tight lipped. We usually have a few rumors by this stage in the game I'm sure? I think we're due a belter with the last few years line ups being a bit mediocre. I love the festival and will attend regardless but it would be great to get a solid line up.

 

Fleetwood Mac on the Sunday maybe? I can dream.

It's the same every year.

The announcement usually comes at the beginning of March so a bit of a wait yet!

Thanks for the info. It's good to know at least....I'll not be disappointed at the lack of announcement in the meanwhile.

Madness have announced a UK tour of outside venues with the Latitude Sunday free. Sunday headliner maybe?

Picture this: last night of the festival, you have your £30 bottle of bubbly from Waitrose and your £15 fish and chips soundtracked by Suggs and Co. singing It Must be Love. Sounds very Latitude-y to me

Interestingly, suggs just got interviewed on Radio x and didn't mention it...

 

Edit: the tour that is. 

Checking the dates, they're playing Euston Hall which might rule them out

Is this your thing about bands playing NOS Alive and Mad Cool not playing Latitude?

I want it to be wrong as much as the next person, however based on previous years there isn't much crossover. 

Based on MGMTs dates, they would have to play Sunday at Latitude, which I suppose is still possible so they're on the very unlikely pile rather than completely ruled out, afterall I know as much as the next person.

Knowing next to nothing about the venues size/location, is it close to Latitude's location then?

Trying to remain optimistic, what about The The? They're doing the rounds this year

Fuck me they even stole Catfish. RIP Latitude.

I can just imagine Festival Republic angrily shaking their fists at the APE festival organisers every time APE announce...

    • 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.
