Latitude Festival 2015

[Thearg]

Is this not the right one

 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Yeah I just wanted to say "no map, no app" cos it rhymed tbh.

[Amy Lawn]

The programme is way more than just a guide to the stage times, tbh it'd be shitters to charge that much just to know the times, so announce them, FR, you fucks.

I met a lovely woman at the Glasto efests meet, comes to the festival from Ireland by herself every year, was swapping glasto ciggies for pints of cider with her, my wife thought she was a legend. She said even smoking dope isnt accepted at Lattitude. We wasnt taking any anyway as were taking the kids but its def food for thought as by her age, no offense to her if she reads this, she has done the festival circuit for many years so Id guess she knows what shes talking about.

 

I have been at them all and while I don't smoke Dope I have seen loads of it smoked so that female was talking rubbish.

 

perhaps she only went to Latitude 2007 as that was the year the smoking ban came in { 1 July 2007 } and it did catch people out but it applied to normal cigarettes also.

 

As long as people act sensible they should not encounter any problems.

I came to post this but you beat me to it.

[hurdy]

They didn't say if ALL the stage times would be posted today...

[tillyandthewall]

Yep, they've drip-fed them over the last two years.  Especially annoying as the times have been finalised in the staff handbooks before they've gone on the site.

[brayshizzle]

seriously cant be bothered at work right now. motivation is zero. need to be in the country side with cider and good music.

[pryce]

main stage and comedy times up ... don't like that you cant plan until at the festival if they drip feed the times

[Jakkkkobz]

What are the current larger and ales on offer at Latitude? 

Still got Tuborg?

[brayshizzle]

ya tuborg are still there from what i can see

[doogleisadog]

do they have a specific ale tent or anything? ta.

[ValJester]

Other Voices stage times are up as well, they all seem to have very long sets. Stornoway have an hour and a half i think

No ale tent but all bars (except in the woods by the iarena) do ales.

 

Hektors, a local ale is there and some bars have had Hobgoblin recently.

 

Hope Galsto-Worker has some more info.

For some reason the given slots for that stage include changeover times with no breaks between acts.

Did wonder how East India Youth had an hour and a half

sorry I will not be able to supply any info as I am now part of what is called ' Production ' so I don't get sent the normal bumf any more as its not part of my job - the two bars ' in the woods ' may or may not have real ale - its due to moving them and those two bars are a right pain to get to hence why they tend not to stock them on a regular basis ' but they have done so in the past ' although even although they may be ' bright ' it still takes time to settle them down .

 

The best bet is in the arena - as the bars are so close together so if one bar has no ale ' at that exact time ' the odds are the next one will .

 

I will be there Wednesday morning but I have heard from a friend on the set up crew who is already there that crew wi-fi is not great so I will not be posting anything until I return to London the week after.

 

By the way its raining onsite just now .

[ValJester]

Also on the Other Voices stage it says 'Guest'. Do we have any idea who that could be? May well be just an act from another stage playing that slot

[Thearg]

Hi Glastoworker,do you know if they have any proper Cider at any of the bars,thanks?

[glasto-worker]

Cant stand Cider - its Somersby this year.

[brayshizzle]

really /:(

 

not the worst. at coachella they had cider in this huge craft beer tent. you could only by two drinks at a time and only drink it in certain areas and it was 6 pounds for half a pint

[eFestivals]

I wonder if it's Beautiful Days?

 

Well spotted, i'm pretty sure that it is.

[5co77ie]
