Time for another Festival Friday! This week's festival is Latitude Festival.
Latitude takes pride in having not only amazing music acts but also the best aspects of film, literature, poetry, culture, theatre and everything in between. It's a very pretty festival as well as not being too big, so it's easy to keep track of where you are. From the multi-coloured sheep to dancing in the woods, there is a lot to see and do. I found that I went to see just as many comedians, poets and writers as I did musicians, which was great as every stage had equal big names and people I wanted to see. Last year I saw Craig Charles do a DJ set in the woods, which is where all the late night DJs play. The woods seem like a completely different place during the day, but at night creates the most amazing atmosphere. The Main stage has seating going around the back, not enough for everyone obviously. But it comes in handy in between acts when you want to sit down, or when you have danced too much, or if you are short and actually want to see what's happening on stage.
Here's a little history and information about Latitude. Based at Henham Park, in Southwold, Suffolk, it will be 10 years old this year. It's always been lucky enough to have a good line up, but that is thanks to it being run by Festival Republic. Festival Republic also run Reading and Leeds Festival, Electric Picnic and ran Glastonbury festival for 10 years. Latitude also is a good place to find up and coming acts, especially on the Lake Stage. Speaking of the lake, this year is the first year you can swim in it!
Now for this year, Thursday 16th - Sunday 19th July 2015
Headliners: Alt-J, Portishead, Noel Gallagers High Flying Birds
Other Artists include: Laura Marling, Lianne La Havas, Santigold, Jon Hopkins, The Vaccines, SBTRKT, Catfish and the Bottlemen, La Roux, The Boomtown Rats, Seasick Steve, Manic Street Preachers, Kwabs, SOAK
