Latitude: 7 reasons why this festival isn’t like other festivals

Just to give you an idea of what it’s like at Latitude when you’re not watching bands, a few things I’ve seen wandering about the site in the last 24 hours.

Pet Shop Boys Do Coldplay At Latitude

Disco re-working of Viva La Vida is just one highlight of the festival show

Bat For Lashes Closes Uncut Arena With Bonkers Style

Nastasha Khan with Charlotte Hatherley on guitar add mystery to Latitude

Latitude: Pet Shop Boys close opening night with a cheeky Coldplay cover

Following on from user-friendly sets by The Pretenders and Squeeze earlier in the evening, headliners Pet Shop Boys brought up the rear in Friday night’s poptastic triptych.

Latitude: Squeeze O’Clock!

Check your watches, it’s Squeeze o’clock. That means it’s the goodtime singalong hour, with South London’s finest kitchen-sink troubadours offering a master class is catchy pop brilliance.

Latitude: Bat For Lashes

It’s perhaps a strange moment of symmetry, but earlier I was fortunate enough to catch some of Fever Ray’s set, also in the UNCUT Arena. Clearly, there’s some parity between Karin Dreijer Andersson and Natasha Khan. Both own a significant debut to Kate Bush, and both are convincing exponents of their own, fantastic interior world.

Regina Spektor Charms Latitude’s Obelisk Arena

The Russian-born New Yorker not daunted by the rain

Latitude: Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor's set on the Obelisk stage was blighted by the first real spate of Friday drizzle, but the New York singer-songwriter put on a set to charm the fans, and doubtless won some new ones too.
