I can only speak for Latitude - but while I'd say 50% are in the 18-21 age group (probably due to uni vacation time, oh to have that amount of free time again), there's a wide variety of people coming together which makes it such a nice festival. I even had parent-son camped by me last year, heartening that the different generations can enjoy the same things. And I've just hit the big 4-0 at the start of the month, my body hasn't given way yet like everyone says it does so I'll still keep on comin...

Hey Palmski,
Martin hit the nail on the head with his reply.... age really doesn't make that big a difference. I'm early 40's too so that's at least 3 old codgers this year!
Give me a shout on direct message if you want and i'll give you my number so at least that way you have a group to pitch up next to if you end up travelling alone.

Hi Palmski.
I'm the wrong side of 60, so everyone else in the world is a youngster to me ( except John Cale )
I'm going on my own.
Latitude will be the 1st major festival that l've attended since 1974, but I thought it well worth a try.
Hope to see you there
Regards
Steve

Hi Palmski,
I too am volunteering for the first time and find that I have more miles on the clock than the average. But I take heart, Steve, that at least one other volunteer will have more of life experiences also.
From my vantage point of 54 I strongly disagree, Andy, that early forties can be termed "old codger"! You don't even qualify as middle aged these days. ;-)
So, I am looking forward to hanging out with all the youngsters in their forties and below and having a fabulous time with all.
See you all soon, Caro

Almost mid 40's here! Volunteered at Reading for 2 years and this will be my 2nd year volunteering at V (a lot closer to home, I only live about 10 miles away!) Attended both as a punter, but having volunteered would never go back!
Love the Reading line up this year though, but with two children I can't warrant being away two consecutive weeks (oh to be 10 or 20 years younger!!!!!)
