All these fake R&L posters yet it’s the sole Latitude one that causes the most hassle.

R&L lineup is so easy to fake though as it is such a simple poster. The only thing that changes year on year is the top & bottom chevron border. With latitude everything changes every year

Seeing that Longitude have been taking on a headliner from Latitude's line-up each year since 2013 (the day Longitude started) and both J Cole & Travis Scott are far from the way Latitude will ever go (Hope Latitude doesn't turn into a rap festival otherwise REFUND ME ASAP) I reckon Solange Knowles has a 90% chance of headlining the Saturday.

She was a second stage headliner at Lovebox last year. A significantly smaller fest.

I think Longitude's change in lineup to one that wouldn't have Mumford & Sons, The National or alt-J headlining means that pattern is over.

Let's hope so. The majority of that Longitude lineup belongs at V Fest, or whatever they're planning on calling it.

I strongly disagree. Nevertheless, Latitude won’t turn into that for a multitude of reasons; some down to competition, most down to demographic.

I can see it now.

Quentin (the husband): Darling, are you enjoying yourself?

Camilla (the wife): Yes, and this smoked salmon is delightful however I do have one quarm; Postman Malone most certainly is not a rockstar and by the way, what is boujee? Sounds like the name of our gardener *chuckles* 

Quentin: I couldn't agree more. Would you mind come on a brief walk? I must acquire one of those minature satchelsthese children are wearing around their chests.

why is everyone so set on Bsstille ? they’re pretty boring live at festivals and there are for more exciting young British acts (such a s wolf alice) who have around the same age fan base andd would attract the same amount of fans and would (one is a ssuming) cost less than bastille

Think people are posting what they think might happen, rather than what they want to happen.

On the Official Unofficial Latitude forum someone has suggested James Taylor as a potential Saturday headliner and that's much more of a worry than Bastille.....especially if you consider Bastille boring, how about a seventy-year-old singer/songwriter instead?

:o There is another forum...!!??

are you sure it is not just the same people, with different names, just spouting the same shit..??

the interweb is a mystery

There used to be an official forum on the latitude website, then they gradually phased it out (first by removing the homepage link then the whole page), and the occupants made their own unofficial version

    • 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.
