Before working at Latitude I had never worked at or even been to a festival so I was slightly nervous despite already knowing one or two of the CAT volunteers. I soon found there was no reason to be apprehensive. Every one of the staff and volunteers were fantastic, friendly people and I had made new friends within hours of arriving. I had great fun working my shifts (despite lots of rain and thunderstorms) and met some interesting people. I've even become an expert at packing pop-up tents! I'm really looking forward to working at Reading this summer and Latitude in 2010.
You can find out what volunteering at festivals is like by checking out our festival volunteer interviews!
You can also find lots of info about every festival we volunteer with on our festival pages.
If you're looking for more try our festival volunteer photo galleries and festival volunteer forum!
You can apply to volunteer at music festivals by signing up to our online festival volunteer application!
Festival volunteer applications open at the beginning of Feb each year, with sometimes a few extra festivals to volunteer at added throughout the year.
We send a message to every volunteer who signs up when applications open!
