Site holds up really well to rain if there is any.  I remember it being very wet for interpol in 2008, and a spell of torrential rain on the Sunday afternoon in 2011.

I think in 2011 the only thing was that the carpark was muddy and some cars got stuck getting off site on Sunday evening.

As mentioned by other posters though the site desks really well with rain and the greatest enemy is the dust. 

I am starting to think that we might be going to find out exactly how robust the site is in the face of lots of rain. It's currently due to rain every day, right the way from now up to the festival and beyond, having already been raining on and off for several days straight...

Yes, I guess it had to happen at some point, if the weather does what is currently being forecast it will definitely be the wettest latitude ever 😞. Still, it is a week away and could change.

Honestly I wouldn't even worry about the weather at this stage, most of the time they can't even predict the weather correctly an hour before it happens, also they often label a whole day for rain even if its a light shower for an hour. The site should be okay as its probably only the people on the build there so won't get too muddy 

Just come prepared for all eventualities and it'll be all good

I have written a preview for next weekend. I think it sounded better in my head but it's done now so am sharing here ...

Great write up! I'm getting very excited for it all now and think we're going to be seeing a fair few of the same acts too - I keep seeing so many great reviews of Pulp, they're easily my most anticipated act

Yep, good stuff. We have similar tastes!

Given the likely rain, the trek from the car to the camp site and that this is my family's first Latitude, do people recommend taking large bags or wheelie suitcases - what do most people normally take? TIA.

Rain is not likely.

I use one of these.

It was a good investment.

You can get grander wheelbarrow things. It sounds over the top but come Thursday I will be looking enviously at people that have them.

I wouldn’t recommend wheelie suitcases on that terrain, loose gravel, long grass in some places, uneven surfaces. There are trollies for hire, but they are not cheap (not hired one myself but I seem to remember they were around £25, and I think only for that day).

I have a trusty 15-year-old hard plastic shell wheelie suitcase with combo lock that has been to umpteen festivals including Latitude and Glastonbury many times without any problem. Also serves as my lockable tent safe to boot as well !

Does anyone know when/if Ticketmaster activates the option to transfer your ticket? I bought a ticket for a friend who is arriving at a different time to me.

They already have. Mine has been transferred to me by a friend

They are continuing their trend of shrinking regular camping at the expense of campervans even though they never fill the space 🙄

Is the latitude lounge new? Can't really remember that, looks like the place where the lake stage used to be

It won't load on my android app. I think perhaps I'd rather not know 😡

Looking at the hints for secret sets on the Amp Stage it seems they're going to be 

Friday - Ed Gamble, Dolores Forever 

Saturday - Lightning Seeds, Rachel Chinoriri (can't work out the last one)

Sunday - Picture This, James Acaster, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Mimi Webb

It's cool they're using it for music and comedy this time

The amount of room dedicated to camper-vans since I last went is unbelievable. It must have got even more ‘middle class’ lol

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
