Organisers 'ecstatic' after Latitude festival
The Suffolk party will be back next year
The first-ever Latitude bash has been declared a
resounding success by 'ecstatic' festival boss Melvin
Benn.
And organisers have confirmed that the contemporary
arts event - headlined this year by Snow Patrol,
Antony and the Jonsons and Mogwai - would return for a
second year.
Mean Fiddler boss Benn said: "Ecstatic. Absolutely
ecstatic about the inaugural Latitude festival. Far
too many highlights to list them all but the three
headliners blew me away as did Patti Smith, who spent
the whole weekend in Southwold discovering her
ancestral roots.
"Rob Newman captivated everyone in the comedy tent and
them was captivated himself with Guilty Pleasures. The
Royal Court Theatre making their first-ever festival
performances enchanting the audiences and the
Literature and Poetry tents, which everyone doubted
would work, stormed the weekend as I knew they would.
Being read to at a festival; how absolutely
delightful. The art of storytelling coming through on
so many stages but especially those two.
"The site, the lake, the woods, the deck chairs, the
punting in the gondolas all added to an extraordinary
weekend for me. I haven't come down from it yet."
The festival, held at Henham Park in Suffolk, was
attended by 12,000 people.
