Dads. There’s no escaping them at Latitude, which over its 18-year history has become known for having the biggest father contingent of all the festivals. This year, they’ve got their sequinned daughters bouncing on their shoulders to disco legends Nile Rodgers & Chic. The Radio 6 dudes are over watching Houston chillers Khruangbin in their bucket hats, grooving to the simmering, soulful “Texas Sun”. And there are more of them guzzling Somersby cider at indie quartet Keane. They’re all loving it. And the rest of us are, too.
