What is Latitude Festival Like? The Latitude Festival Review…

If you’re wondering whether to go to this year, and want to know what Latitude Festival is like – let me take you through 12 reasons why a Latitude ticket is a great idea…

Latitude Festival is such a happy memory for me. It was my first trip after quitting my job to be a freelance travel blogger and despite being worried about going to a festival on my own I actually had a brilliant time. I’m planning on going again this year, hopefully with a friend this time seeing as I’ve been banging on all year about what a good festival it is.

It’s such a cool place, with so many things to do away from the main music stages too. Here are 12 glimpses into the world of Latitude Festival, and why I think you should go this year.

What is Latitude Festival like?

Totally based on my experience of Latitude Festival a few years ago.

1. The clientele is more chilled

The people at Latitude just seem to want a ‘nice day/weekend out’ rather than the carnage you experience at other festivals. This guy was just reading his Dostoevsky (that’s a guess) while Sohn was doing his best on stage. What better weekend soundtrack to some me time hey?

Although, I can’t ever imagine reading a book at a festival, but Latitude Festival caters for all!

2. The sheep are really cool

The sheep at Latitude Festival look like magic sheep from a different land. They wander freely around the famous Latitude sign while all the festivalgoers coo over them and take photos, just like I did.

Obviously the colours are sheep friendly btw!

3. There’s an awesome line up

In 2014 the line up was incredible – Black Keys, Asgeir, Sohn, Woman’s Hour, Robyn – so many greats. This year’s Latitude line up is looking pretty good too. I’m working my way through the line up now and Wolf Alice are sounding pretty good, more surprises to come I’m sure.

4. The woods are magical
