From Damon Albarn's Blur songs to Rag 'N' Bone man's lost blues legend voice, performances fit good-naturedness of event
A gigantic "ahhhh" spreads across the Suffolk countryside as Damon Albarn comes to the close of End of a Century on the second night at Latitude. It's not one of relief from the crowd that he's turned to the Blur back catalogue after a set based around his lovely, but not exactly lively solo album. It's a gasp of pleasure at the spectacle of the lightning forking across the sky. It's a measure of the good-naturedness of this event that the arrival of a biblical deluge is greeted with such wonderment: on a weekend of largely glorious weather, there's a determination to be uplifted that's almost contagious.
