Latitude 2021

So looking at times & noting Damon/Chems I think we'll do half hour or so at Waterfront, wander up to Obelisk via BBC tent catch a song or 2 of Arlo & be at Chems for their opener - which I absolutely have to be at;  Chems were our last live act before the world went to shit, and we were in the smoking area for their opening 2 tracks because I didn't read the timings correctly 😅 ran into the middle of the crowd as MAH dropped though 😉

Billie Marten just cancelled a whole host of instores this week, so she may be the first COVID-related casualty of the weekend…

Just looked it up and it's very ambiguous as it just says this weeks shows, would that just be the instores or Latitude as well?

bit random but has anybody got a chemical brothers t shirt in size L or XL? trying to get one in time for the set and reaching a lot of dead ends. I have left it very late but if anyone has anything please inbox me as i'd love to buy it off you for a good price (or a round of beers for your group!). Looking for a graphic print preferably and not just the logo, but i'll take what i can get at this point 😄 

EDIT: anyone know what the merch offering might look like as well?

Just about to set off for the 6 1/2 hour drive down. 
Latitude was my last festival, so 2 years. 2 bloody years.

So so happy to be finally going to one, can't wait. Even the shifts will be a joy I'm sure (although I'd prefer a role where I get to wander about rather than stuck on a gate like last time)

See you all there in a couple of days!

She was on the main stage (after Bill Bailey) so could we get a main stage sized replacement? Or just a bump up and shuffle around elsewhere.

Can't believe that I've been through the timetable and that I have only 1 main clash and 1 minor one.

The only main one is Arlo Parks vs Damon Albarn - but have seen both before (in fact I saw Arlo on the Lake Stage at Latitude) so not particularly bothered either way.

I find it quite funny that both Friday and Saturday night I'd happily watch any of the main three stage headliners 

Wolf Alice vs Hot Chip vs Dry Cleaning 

The Chemical Brothers vs Fontaines DC vs Black Honey 

Then on Sunday I'm not particularly bothered about or don't know any of them. I'm going to check out Sons of Kemet today though because I think they could be the one...

Its a shame how unbalanced the festival is for me, Friday apart from headliners is pretty uneventful, saturday is stacked all day then sunday is good until the main headliner haha

Yeah that's the only clash time for me, with added working mens club. Would've watched Rudimental too given the chance! 

It really depends how busy it is for Damon. If he was on a main stage it'd be 100% for me

Girlfriend loves arlo parks but I think if I can't get near to Damon's set I'll half and half her and working men's club

Anyone else having trouble getting resale tickets through from Ticketmaster?

Quite frankly they are taking the p***

Emailed them on several occasions now and all you get is a generic automated reply but no bloody ticket!

Bought the ticket back in May and it's all been confirmed but nothing has come through as of yet.

Gonna be severely hacked off if I miss this after a two year wait.

 

Cheers

    • 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.
