Latitude

Latitude was a music festival that Andrew and I went to this year in Suffolk for a long weekend. The headlining bands were Arcade Fire, Damien Rice, The Good the Bad and the Queen and there were other people like CSS, Wilco, Jarvis Cocker and smaller highlights were New Young Pony Club, Gotan Project and Rapture.

Now the summer in England was right poo this year and so we had to go prepared.. when the sun came out it was hot but in between burst of sun we would get little showers but we would take that time for mid day naps in the tent. The Festival was 3 days and there were 3 main music stages and then there were literature, comedy and cabaret tents and things like that for the 12,000 in attendance.

First picture here is of the main stage. Second pic is of food area and the distance the lit tent and cabaret and the second main stage is behind us. And the third pic is of the 3rd stage in the woods. And then for the fourth pic I know a lot of you have already seen this pick from our flickr account but I am with my new bump in tent city. All in all we had a good time and in the end we made a good decision to go to this one and not the Big Chill this year… one I don’t think I would have been able to handle going to the loo every 5 mins as I would have been further along for the Big Chill and second it was right after all that rain and the site would have been right muddy.

Good times! Highlights were CSS, New Young Pony Club and Arcade Fire.
