Bit of advice for a newbie. Is there an official rule to the alcohol limit you can bring in? We’re there Thursday to Monday and didn’t want to take the whole 4 days booze in one go, so was going to leave some in the car and go back over their weekend.

Not in the campsite no, but obviously you can't take any into the arena.

Good to see no disposable vapes allowed this year - green credentials improved Blimey, Even prisoners can use vapes, a bit draconian to me. Latitude has always been v ‘green’ so the huge amount of unrecyclable plastic disposed of goes against their values. Many are saying the disposable ones are more dangerous in use. It’s still OK to bring reusable ones of course, so not that draconian really?

Officially you can't take it into the arena he he.😉 It’s the thrill of seeing if you can poke it up your jumper sleeves, tied around your waist (apparently) and the newbies just chancing it, and their crushed dreams as they walk away from the bins, eight cans of Fosters (yup) wasted, just lost…

Have the Saturday Obelisk stage times changed for anyone else on the app? Everyone's been moved back and now Paolos on for 2 hours too but everything else is the same

Looking like ideal festival weather this year (Suffolk is pretty much year-round sunshine); might not even need the waterproofs now…

Afternoon all. We might have succumb. Put a couple of offers in on Twickets tickets.
Quick question, I know this has been covered over the years but am I right in saying that even if you have 'normal' weekend camping tickets you can get family wristbands and stay in family camping? I'm sure I've read that one.

I'm sure I've read that one. I’ve done the same. Have the kids tickets and can’t now find a single family camp for an adult. Let me know if you end up with a spare or odd number! Thanks

Anyone sussed the secret sets posted on their story? They put some other ones out which seemed to suggest Sophie Ellis Bextor, Mimi Webb, The Proclaimers and also suggested an Off Menu podcast with Ed Gamble and James Acaster

No plastic? Wristband fasteners are plastic this year, not metal.

Pulp were astonishingly good tonight, one of the best headline sets I've seen there! Other highlights were Confidence Man and Last Dinner Party - looking forward to the rest of the weekend now

Massive credit to the organisers who overnight put loads of extra wood chip down, I think they'll do some more overnight ahead of tomorrow (which is forecast to be much better 😁) - as soggy as today was I had a great time, highlights were Far From Saints, Lightning Seeds, Fern Brady and Bridget Christie - I can't wait for James and Siouxsie tomorrow

i went for the day on friday and had a great time.
i have to say though, i think it was a mistake to have the bbc sounds tent finish before pulp. initially i was really pleased at this decision as it meant i could see both yard act and pulp who i both love. i think the knock on effect though was it forced everyone into seeing pulp due to not much in the way of other options at that time which meant they had a huge but slightly disconnected crowd.
pulp of course were phenomenal as they always are but for me it was easily the worst time i've seen them and it was down the crowd. there should have been something for the kids on in the tent at the same time - confidence man would have been ideal. i moved around a fair bit during pulp but it was the same story everywhere i went, people not really that arsed and talking during their set etc.

Yet another superb weekend from start to finish, loved every second and managed to cram in everything I wanted to see and a little bit more too - highlights were Pulp, James, Siouxsie, Confidence Man, Far From Saints, Fern Brady and Bridget Christie
Roll on 2024!

Friends who came in from both sides said the right side was much tighter packed than the Sounds Stage side. We were that side, despite briefly reminding me of that Gentlemen of the Road year 🤮 but it was a great crowd and Jarvis was enthralling to all nearby (also everyone probably in awe/fear of such forum greats 😂)
