Latitude 2021

[theesundayroast]

This is looking much better than I was expecting and the inclusion of chems and wolf alice has me seriously considering this. Still hesitant about getting tickets due to restrictions though...

 

[Diamond24]

I think this is a great lineup and the most interested I've been in Latitude in years. If I didn't have tickets for Truck already that weekend, I'd probably go.

I know they’ve had sponsors forever but Cinch presents Latitude is some funny shit.

What is this Cinch thing? Never heard of it before yesterday cause they are involved with TRNSMT too now ''cinch presents trnsmt'. Never heard of them/it before.

[JB15]

I start a new job around then so won’t be able to go, and also there’s a global pandemic so hard to see it going ahead, but I think that’s the best Latitude lineup for years!

Used car dealer.

Apparently the deal covers 5 LN events in total.

Decent lineup considering the situation. This'll be my first ever Latitude so I'm looking forward to exploring all of the stages. Chems on Saturday night is a big win, hopefully Hot Chip won't be on at the same time (like they were at Glasto last time), throw in Working Men's Club, Squid, some comedy etc and I'm happy.

Also, Lynks on the main stage will be a riot.

[Havors]

Im very pleasantly surprised with that lineup! Some great additions. 

Just hope it goes ahead as im suppose to be working it with Oxfam. Im 50/50 that it will happen at the moment 😞

You’re in luck, Hot Chip playing Standon Calling on the Saturday, so they’ll be Friday/Sunday.
 

The smaller stages are worth checking out, and there are often music acts in some of the other areas like solas, cabaret, music & film etc.

I think given the amount of unrecoverable costs they must be incurring by now, Melvin must have had some unofficial nod from his involvement in the ERP that it'll be allowed.

We're now near enough exactly 8 weeks from the gates opening, so presumably they're not far off starting the build or at least the early on site prep work. I think at this point, the only way it gets cancelled is if the Government or LA outright say it can't happen - even if there's new/unexpected restrictions put in place then FR will try to work within them as to cancel at this point would almost certainly cost them more.

Very happy with this lineup, a good mix of acts and strong headliners too. I'd imagine next announcement will be once its been confirmed if June 21st is going ahead so very much looking forward to it 😄

I think it all boils down to how this variant stuff pans out over the next 2 weeks. If that proves to be nothing to worry about then I think its likely to go ahead. I am confident the Download pilot will be a success and be a final ok to proceed. 

Latitude is only relatively small and could be set up in just a few weeks. We are just speculating though.

Pretty strong lineup! Does anyone know if they still do the 'day camping' option for single-day ticket holders? I know they offered it a few years back but can't find any info on the website.

Made a playlist dedicated to all the acts performing at Latitude 2021 if anyone is undecided and fancies taking a listen to all the artists in one place 😄

Day camping looks to be available for £5 - https://www.latitudefestival.com/information-category/where-stay/

I'm over the flipping moon!

We do Latitude every year regardless of line-up - but yes CHEMS! they were the last live act I saw before this shit happened so only fitting that they headline my 1st festival back.

Shack have self confirmed over on Insta that they'll be back in the Forest, so happy days, add the that the always stellar comedy line-up.

Bring it on 🎵🎶🎉🥳

Second jab booked for 1st July, 21 days to take full effect, so vaccine takes full effect on.... 22nd July

Back of the net!

[DJL]

This is my personal favourite Latitude line-up for years. If hot chip are the Sunday Wolf Alice, Chems and Hot Chip would be an excellent set of headliners across the two main stages.

...and Fontaines DC are playing Truck on the Friday so Hot Chip should be Sunday

[Chapple12345]

I find it genuinely impressive how out of the 4 acts announced beforehand only 1 is actually appearing 😂 definitely not complaining though, the new acts announced are right up my street, although I think the festival might not announce any acts a year away from the festival anymore  

[sedra]

Also good effort to increase   female /male artist balance across the whole line up so far.

If fontaines d.c are at truck on Friday they can only be at latitude Saturday or Sunday. 

If hot chip are at Standon calling on Saturday they can only be at latitude on Friday or Sunday. 

So, I don't think that rules hot chip out of the Friday unfortunately. 

I think most likely would be hot chip Friday and fontaines d.c on Sunday. 

I notice BBC are on the same bill at truck on the Friday and they are at latitude on the Sunday. 

If so that hot chip/ wolf Alice clash will be a killer.

Is this in danger? 2 week delay to reopening apparently...

At the moment there's lots of uncertainty and over the weekend I've seen various sources all claiming different things so I'd always take it with a pinch of salt. If it were a guaranteed 2 week delay they'd plough ahead still but if not I think they'd have to consider other options as Melvin is adamant the festival will happen

Think this is a gonner. Press saying a 2-4 week delay depending on the circumstances.
