doesn't surprise me, it's another attempt by the Mean Fiddler to 'manufacture' an atmosphere, a 'vibe', at a festival. They always get it wrong and they're always underattended.
thanks for the link
...ill check it out later ,have to leave the house in a sec..
im not suprised they havent sold all that many tickets cos well there are SO many new festivals springing up and they arent cheap/free/non-commercial ones(as contrasted with say glasto where profits go to greenpeace) either which is sad.
i think there are now just too many festivals for the audience that exists.i think there is a bit of a backlash too around the rising entry costs. big chill hasnt even sold out yet and that is one of the popular ones..
latitude is a brand one with no really big names,and seems somewhat arty in focus with the emphasis on performance/literature..which is my justication for going oh and the location seemed great..i doubt it will sell out tho..
im stewarding there for oxfam(in exchange for ticket so just working a few shifts) so im arriving VERY early (next wed 12th in fact)im hoping some other steawrds have wheels so we can check out the coast
if anyone from urban going wants to meet PM me
p.s. note to dubversion..im no fan of vince power either
...hahahaha i agree with yr point..but it cant be as bad as phoenix fest back in the 90s(no i didnt go, just heard it was no glastonbury)
as someone working there, the fewer punters the better for me

As shit as Phoenix was - and i went three times (never as a punter, mind
) it did at least have a fantastic line-up, so if you ignored the pretensions to be a Midlands Glastonbury, there was so much to do. Latitude is looking for some kind of Hay On Wye / Edinburgh / Glastonbury / ATP crossover, and it just doesn't add up.I'm sure there will be none of the riots that marred Phoenix though. Maybe a few people grumbling into their cava..
I'm not sure what latitude will be like, but I will report back just for dubversion! 
I know its mean fiddler n that, but I wanted to go to a festival this year (well all of them) and its what you make of it anyway.
Bearbot, keep a look out for a pinhead geordie who will no doubt be stoned and wandering about perplexed!
