Becoming an ERP event gives us the security of going ahead. Crucially the additional research collected at Latitude will benefit all festivals and live events moving forward. Everyone will be welcome to attend as long as they have a negative lateral flow test or proof of two vaccinations. Adding: \u201cAfter many months without live music and arts, we are ecstatic to return with a full capacity festival. Restarting festivals is crucially important to the wellbeing of everyone in society and we hope that Latitude will be the first of many festivals to take place this summer!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s still unsure that the UK festival season will be going ahead, especially as most have cancelled but Latitude has been given the green light as part of the government pilot scheme. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":86315,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11109],"tags":[19983,27173,21707,27171,27172,27175,25075,19988,21466,21465],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
