The announcement of the first names we'll be seeing at Latitude Festival 2022 has given us all the summer vibes today! ☀️
Headliners Lewis Capaldi, Foals and Snow Patrol will be playing at the stunning Henham Park in Suffolk! There are also performances from Little Simz, Maggie Rogers, Manic Street Preachers, James Arthur, Freya Ridings and Example across the weekend! 🎉
Phoebe Bridgers, Groove Armada and Fontaines D.C. headline the BBC Sounds Stage!
It's promising to be an incredible line up! 🔥
If you want a break from the music, head over to the comedy tent to see Russell Howard or cool off with some wild swimming or paddleboarding on the Latitude lake!
Trailer Park and Mind, Body & Zen will be returning, alongside the epic Street Feast food court.
The opportunity to see so many big names in one weekend is too good to miss out on! 🙌
Some of our festivals are almost 50% full already, just 4 weeks after volunteering applications opened, so we really do recommend applying and paying your refundable deposit now to secure your place!
To find out more and apply choose the festival you're interested in volunteering at, you'll then find all the info including when you'll need to arrive at the festival, how many volunteer shifts you'll do, how old you need to be to volunteer at festivals, the kind of things you'll get involved with when volunteering and loads more!
As usual, you need to pay a refundable security deposit to volunteer with us this summer.
When volunteering with Hotbox Events you only need to pay 1 deposit to volunteer at as many festivals as you like each summer!
Deposits are returned within 30 days of the last day of a festival, if you have volunteered with us before your deposit is discounted by 35%. There are no admin fees charged on deposits, so you receive your entire deposit back as long as you complete all of your shifts at the festivals!
Of course, if for any reason a festival does not go ahead, your security deposit will be returned to you in full.
Please remember that we cannot confirm your place until you have paid your deposit!
You can choose the shifts you prefer a few weeks before each festival and we will confirm your shifts in advance, so you know when you will be volunteering and can plan your festival schedule!
Shift preferences are allocated based on deposit payment date, so the earlier you pay your deposit, the more likely you are to get your top shift preferences!
If there is anything you would like to ask or you would just like to chat with us about volunteering, the easiest way is to...
You can connect with us @hotboxevents on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
If you would like to chat with others who have volunteered with us before head to our Facebook Group and Forum
On Facebook and in our Forum you will find new and returning volunteers chatting about what it is like to volunteer at festivals, arranging to share lifts, asking and answering questions about volunteering at festivals and making friends with other volunteers!
If you have not volunteered at a festival before and are wondering what it is like, check out some of our staff and volunteer interviews!
In the interviews you will get to hear from volunteers who have joined us talking about how they found their shifts, how they felt they were looked after by the Hotbox team, what it was like volunteering solo for the first time, taking on more responsibility year on year and progressing from a volunteer to staff role, and even how the experience and confidence gained has helped with career progression away from festivals!
Another way to see what volunteering is like is to check out some of our festival photos!
In our festival photo galleries, you will find thousands of photos covering our festival volunteering history over the past twenty years!
If you are thinking about volunteering but not sure about going alone, please don't worry! Every year more than half of those who volunteer with us do so on their own the first time and then return year after year to meet up with friends they have made whilst volunteering!
