Latitude 2019


MEGATRONICMEATWAGON

Recommended Posts

Doors open at Henham two weeks today so we must, surely, have an announcement today? Even if it's just the start of the countdown to the stage times reveal. I'll be incredibly disappointed if there's no decent announcement in the next 24 hours.

With a fortnight to go, glorious weather and half the country having watched Glastonbury at the weekend they should be hammering social media on a daily basis now, and not with bland 'two weeks to go until we're back at Henham' posts.

Get us excited Latitude!!

Why not:

- announce you've got a special guest making an appearance over the weekend (we know you have!)

- tell us what we can do on the Thursday evening, what acts can we see, where and what time?

- let us know how the timings will work for the Stereophonics / Underworld Saturday evening set-up

- focus on some of the acts playing Latitude that were at Glastonbury - give a link to their sets on iPlayer

- get some on-site photos up. It's a glorious day at Henham (according to BBC weather) so let's see it!

- run a prize draw for some side-of-stage / backstage passes that gets us all 'liking' and 'sharing' on social media

Just a thought!

Im calling for stage times to be announced tomorrow and then they'll confirm there being a surprise set then too like with Liam last year, I regularly plan out the weekend so I know the times out and get annoyed when they don't, as for example I'm trying to work out if I can see any of George Ezra or Slaves as I plan to see more of Primal Scream and Lana. 

They've promoted a few acts that were at Glastonbury which is good but I agree they're doing very little hyping up which is normally what they do in the fortnight leading up to the festival

May or may not have yelped with excitement at Charlie Brooker.... 

If my memory serves me correctly they did an announcement similar to this last year announcing Richard Ayoade and announced the stage times the next day so there's every chance it'll all come out tomorrow

In fairness, although there's little there to interest me, that's not a bad little announcement so close to the festival. I'm sure Charlie Brooker and Russell Tovey will attract some attention and Princefest was apparently a bit of a hoot last year.

Certainly some notable names who I'm sure will be popular, especially with the popularity of shows like Black Mirror. 

I seem to remember stumbling across the inaugural Princefest in 2016 on the Saturday night in which none of the headliners interested me and (baring in mind I'm hardly a big Prince fan) was one of the best things I've ever been to ?

We've got a week to go and still not everything is complete and there aren't any stage times, it's feeling a little tedious now for me 

On the other unofficial Latitude forum one of the members spoke to someone from FR about five weeks ago and was told they'd be releasing something every Thursday up to the festival start. They've pretty much stuck to that so can near enough 'guarantee' we'll get something tomorrow.

What that something will be is a different matter entirely.

No they've almost always released set times at least a week prior to the festival other than secret set times and so on but I hope with tomorrow officially marking a week till the site opens it will then

No, used to start dropping the stage times the Monday before the festival doing a stage a day, one year they hadn't finished releasing them by the Thursday morning

There's still a gab on the Friday in the BBC tent, so probably is going to be something there, probably the rumored Frank Turner...or maybe something completely different... But the gap is there..

And with that, Latitude 2019 is complete :)

By the looks of it no secret sets this year unless they're late night, now we await the set times

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
