With limits of social gatherings set to be lifted by June 21 at the earliest, organisers have confirmed that Latitude aims to welcome a full-capacity crowd in July.
Vaccination “won’t be mandatory” for those attending, organisers added, “but we will be testing to ensure those without vaccination are Covid clear before they enter the festival”. Full details on safety and testing procedures will be announced prior to the event.
It will therefore follow in the footsteps of a string of successful pilot events run by the Government’s Event Research Programme, in which attendees are tested before and after, but do not have to wear masks or socially distance during the festival.
Next month, a pilot camping festival will take place in the form of a 10,000-capacity event run by Download festival.
