Chapple12345 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 The times have roughly been the same for as long as I've been going so I don't think they'll change it too radically this year apart from the Saturday night, they're usually announced 2-3 weeks beforehand so hopefully it'll be announced soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!!! Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 If anyone is interested in volunteering at Latitude there are still a few places left on the Environmental Health team, either drop me a PM or email the address in the link for further info https://www.latitudefestival.com/information-category/volunteer ?

swelsbyuk Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromoz Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 to be fair, they have NEVER been good with the social media stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapple12345 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swelsbyuk Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 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 ?

Chapple12345 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 In other news they've confirmed there are still a few more musical acts to come so let's hope they're soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funktownbro Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 If you've seen the map set times will feel less of a problem, the family camping has taken nearly the whole campsites this year, looks like screaming kids everywhere will be more of an issue, no I'm not the Grinch but balance is key... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swelsbyuk Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Frank Turner playing secret set in the woods on the Thursday evening seems to be a strong rumour at the moment. Could be memorable if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapple12345 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funktownbro Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 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...

Guy Incognito Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Skee Mask's album last year was sensational. That's a great booking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
