04.08.08 - LATITUDE 2008 IS A SELL OUT SUCCESS!

"The site is stunning. It's certainly the most picturesque festival I've ever been too" Telegraph.co.uk

Lavish have recently returned from another hugely successful Latitude festival. With tickets sold out months in advance it promised to be a fantastic weekend, and it certainly didn't disappoint.

For the third year running Lavish were responsible for the iconic look of the festival - creating theatrical facades and decor for the arena tents; a contempory art exhibition in the woods; and for the first year, the 'Lavish Drawing Room' - a surreal drawing room set in the woods. The Lavish Drawing Room was not only the setting for acoustic sets from up-and-coming bands presented by Lavish, but was also adopted by ITV for interviewing acts from the festival, including headliners Franz Ferdinand!

Lavish also presented the breathtaking Music of Spheres who opened the festival in spectacular style with their awe inspiring floating bubble on the lake, 'The Irrepressibles' , who for the second year running played three sets with ever growing audiences, as well as flamenco sensation Rafael Amargo who performed a sunset set on the picturesque 'On the Lake' stage.
