Festival season 2021 is going to be ‘interesting’, that’s for sure. As live music attempts to get up and running again, it can’t escape the realities that we’re still in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. That’s something that’s already having an impact at Latitude, with two acts already dropping off this weekend’s bill.
Posting on social media, both Fontaines DC and Alfie Templeman have confirmed they’ve tested positive for COVID, and will therefore be unable to play the festival.
Alfie has already been replaced on the bill by Sports Team, who will be heading over for the Saturday (24th July) after their Margate spectacular tomorrow (23rd July) to play.
Sadly @alfietempleman can no longer play @cinchuk presents Latitude 2021 but we’re delighted to announce @SportsTeam_ will be taking his place, on the Obelisk Arena on Saturday at 2.05pm. 💖#cinchxLatitude #Latitude2021 pic.twitter.com/iBcbnsomPi
