Latitude, Day 2

These are the 'dog kennels' in which we stayed for the duration of the festival. Definitely a step up from camping, with the added bonus of good toilets and showers in the exclusive Tangerine Field.
We sampled virtually every type of entertainment on offer at the festival, including cabaret, poetry, literature, ballet, and all genres of music from classical through to heavy metal folk. The comedy tent appeared to be the main draw for many people, and it was impossible to get inside for the whole duration of the festival. Even the overspill areas outside were packed, so we only got to see a few snippets from some of the many comedy acts at Latitude, many of whom were rehearsing for their forthcoming Edinborought Festival shows.
Saturday's main sage headline act was Grace Jones, who I had no particular desire to see. I opted for Spiritualized on the Uncut sage, who put on a compelling, if sometimes overindulgent, performance.
