What: Latitude Festival

Where: Henham Park, Southwold, Suffolk

When: 17th – 20th July

Price: £130 for a weekend camping ticket

Latitude quite appeals to me as a festival purely because I quite like that when you see the published line-up they focus on not only the music but also poetry and comedy and literature. Although I’d always go to a festival for the music I’m quite jealous of the comedy arena at Latitude.

This year the comedy line-up includes Bill Bailey, Ross Noble, Frankie Boyle, Russell Howard (oh, I want to see him so much!!), Phill Jupitus, other people you can see on various panel comedy shows plus lots of people that I haven’t heard of but I expect are very funny.

In regards to the music, you can see Death Cab for Cutie, Sigur Rós, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, British Sea Power, Martha Wainwright, Crystal Castles, Foals, Elbow and Blondie.

Also playing are Godwits who are sort of vaguely local to me. The brother of their violinist went to my sixth form. Simple things like this keep me entertained.
