LATITUDE NOW SOLD OUT!!!
The ground-breaking Latitude Festival is proud to announce that all 20,000 tickets for this year’s event are now completely sold out!
THE HOLD STEADY!
They are playing as well. Go and see them.
so are Cake
HE'S GOING THE DISTANCE
but you shouldn't go see them cause they're on at the same time as Bill Bailey.
am so looking forward
to seeing the hold steady. their keyboard player looks like ron jeremy.
travel is turning out to be a right nightmare. stupid fucking trains costing ridiculous amounts at peak times.
My train was £5 return
but that was in advance...
unlucky!
£5!!!?????!!!!!!
MINE WAS £74.
FUCK OFF.
'One' Railway
is rubbish unless you book in advance. Want a train to London from Cambridge in advance? £3. Want it on the the day? £30 - 40
But you're coming from Dorset, right? That explains it...
Top tip...
Young Person's Railcard.
Pays for itself in instances such as this. I'm getting all the way to Thetford on open return for a measly £20. And once there my mate has car!
Thetford... watch out
Top tip: don't dress extravagantly. It's trackies or nothing there.
Oh dear...
...best leave my good opera cape at home and slum it.
that is my problem
i have a railcard, yet - can't get the discount before 9.30 in the morning (ie on peak trains). thus, i either arrive late on friday, or pay extravagant amounts of money.
What's the point of
Posting a news report that a festival has sold out?
"Oh hello! You! Yes, you! You who didn't buy a ticket before we posted this!"
Youthmovies
solo set and the collaboration set with Jonquil is also taking place in norwich tommorrow night! at the queen charlotte
Patrick Wolf
I saw Patrick Wolf play a mostly acoustic set here in Sydney last weekend and I must recommend everyone attending this festival to go and see him. To say he was fucking amazing would be an understatement.
go thetford go
Trackies are too good for Thetford. I grew up there, which is a frightening, but true story.
.
I went last year, cause I'm that cool. The line up this years looks boss though, if not a bit similar to last years.
Really..
wish i was going!
Nice photo of the Jarv, Gary!!
ha!
I suppose it's not too bad if you steer clear of the Abbey Farm Estate. Really, that's a no-go area.
