Hurray! Latitude is going ahead!

[Raera]

Anybody else going to Latitude festival?
So excited about announcement today!

Whoop whoop! We are going.

BBC are playing, thought they would, they re good. I'd like to see wolf alice, Chemical bros are good saw them last year, Hot chip and sqid will be on my list. I think I'll give rick astley a swerve.

I was really hoping foals would play though.

Not going, but glad to read it is happening.

@fruitbrewhaha I cannot believe you would admit to avoiding Rick Astley though.

Believe it. I shall use that slot to let my DDs in the kids arena to do some crafting.

I'm not going but so pleased for all of you that are! Now I need to keep my fingers crossed for Womad too as I have tickets and so so hope it goes ahead !

How exciting. When will the actual timetable be listed, in case of only wanting day tickets? Anyone done day tickets? And if not camping, where to stay?

Not going latitude but a big motorbike rally we paid for last year will be on this year so will be able to use the tickets

We've only done full weekends but lots of people do day tickets. You can tell by their wristband colour and by Sunday they are usually a lot cleaner than the weekenders! In previous years the day splits have been announced by now but this is no usual year. Please note that it's at least a mile walk from the main arena to where you park as a day ticket holder and taxis are in a similar place. We are still waiting for more line up news for dance, dram and arts. If you don't like canvas, hire a campervan I've seen lots of hired ones there, you really can't beat doing the whole thing!

Latitude questions will be answered here. It's very friendly x

Do you think this will still go ahead this year? July 19th is a bit close

Does anyone know the refund policy if the government extend the restrictions again?

Statement from the Latitude website:

Hello,

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the Prime Minister’s statement as much as anyone this evening, and, whilst the lifting of the final restrictions is delayed, we don’t think it means the end of our hopes for Latitude this year.

We are so grateful for your continued patience and faith as we’ve pulled this years’ festival together. We’ve always been focussed on delivering the festival to you and, whilst this evening’s statement is disappointing, we haven’t given up hope just yet.

If you’ll allow us just a little more time, we’re going to spend the next few days looking at the information and speaking to the relevant government departments to work out what it means for the festival. Rest assured, as soon as we know for definite if we can or can’t go ahead, we will tell you. We expect that will be by the end of this week.

Our first priority is always the safety of our festival-goers, the staff and the artists. We’ll be working with the local and national authorities and will ensure that IF we aren’t able to go ahead by the end of this week, all ticketholders will be able to roll over their tickets to 2022 or be able to claim a refund.

Thanks again so much for your love and support as we try so desperately hard to bring the festival to life for you this July.

Melvin
