Latitude 2021

From personal experience, even the non-family camping at Latitude is fairly quiet compared to say Leeds/Reading/Download or Kendal Calling. 

Anecdotal of course, but we were near the village and about 10 mins walk from arena entrance and it was pretty much silent by 1am. 

As expected - to be fair they have late night areas unlike R&L so people aren’t forced to the campsite. Maybe it will be different this year due to festival refugees (i sure know Latitude wouldn’t have been booked for me and a lot of others if it wasn’t a test event)

noticed the schedule has also gone again on the app

Also quite interested in the response to this - don’t want to piss off the neighbours. I’m presuming closer to arena = louder?

Thats my usual logic - the closer to the arena the livelier the crowd seems to be!

We've camped in the same pace for the last few years, in family camping right next to the main arena entrance (not family entrance) and it's never been particularly loud. 

Some friends usually camp a 10 minute walk away from the arena in normal camping and it's a bit more lively there. As others have suggested though, it's largely chilled everywhere compared to other major festivals.

Looking forward to probably camping near some of you closest to the arena then! 

Any predictions / guesses for what (or more likely who) will be going on at the BBC Sounds between 13:50 and 16:00 on the Sunday? Has to be a special guest, right? 😁

Chartalans is the front runner at the moment because one of them is the set before the gap

Chill is good to be honest, isle of wight was amazing in 2019 and i reckon its pretty similar. Our camp neighbours were lovely

Don't get too excited about that gap.  There have been gaps previously and no one has filled it.  Fingers crossed though.

Remember that Secret Glasto Sets thing where we’d get a text when a secret set had been spotted? I miss that.

Sadly the Sunrise stage is the most awkward to get anywhere from.  Its round the 'other side' of the Lake and so, even though the BBC stage is probably only 10 minutes away as the crow flies, its probably double that or maybe longer (in crowds) to get to the nearest bridge and over and up to the Sounds tent

It's a little bit easier since they added the second bridge that is next to where the Lake Stage used to be.  Given there's no crowds stood in front of that this year, that should also lessen the walk time

Latitude dropped a huge hint that there's at least one secret set on the socials recently.  Hopefully they'll put the details up in the press tent on the day, but I think most year's they've leaked before the event

Saturday/Sunday make sure you pack your wellies / waterproofs people :) 

Pesky weather warnings.

If you said to me that only one day of the four was going to rain and there's a 50/50 chance it won't, I'd take it. And that's how it currently looks.

That yellow weather warning is a generic forecast for the entire south of the UK. I reckon we'll avoid the worst of it. Believe.

What we do know 100% is that Friday is going to be perfect festival weather!!

For the weekend it looks like it’s not a dead  cert ‘Front’ (no idea if that’s the term!!) of rain sweeping across but more like random patches cropping up. Impossible to predict location and therefore just as likely to miss us! Go forward with shorts, sunglasses and warm beer. It’s actually happening!!!

I'd rather being soaking wet in a field with a beer, watching a band than stuck at home for another weekend

By the way :) I agree with you all!! I wasn't moaning just a heads up.

 

I CANNOT WAIT, IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS EVE

Anyone on site and got some photos yet?!

[TheFullShaboo]

So what are the best late night areas for a boogie? Someone mentioned the Shack?

Hi, has anyone else had trouble with printing their tickets out for Latitude from Ticketmaster? I'm not getting the option anywhere 😞

I just logged in went to My Tickets - it then took a while to load them up and you can download.

It seem to take you to a portal.

Go on here, click latitude then it should look like this - print button right in the middle. you then get a PDF file (the queue takes a minute or so)

See, mine looks a lot different, but without the print option OR the yellow warning bar. It's upsetting me loads too that Ticketmaster are not even responding to me anywhere 😞 

[gregory]

Why have they scheduled it that there is absolutely no music at all for half an hour between 21:15 and 21:45 on Friday? Idiotic.

Have you tried logging in on a mobile? hopefully the you can email the pdf to yourself once it opens, defo had a ‘print’ for me though.

I don't have the option to print either, seems like mine are strictly mobile tickets only.

They already warned about poor signal at the gates in relation to showing your covid pass, yet no consideration seems to have been made for showing your ticket to get in to the actual festival...

I have saved a screenshot of the ticket (the QR code) so hopefully that will be accepted if there is indeed no mobile signal and my ticket won't load through the app or website.

I had to email Ticketmaster three times before I finally got a reply with a link to my ticket to allow me to print it off.

Did you get a resale ticket or 'normal' one?

Don't give up trying, you'll get a reply eventually and good luck
