Santigold takes to the main stage
Tags: Santigold
17 July, 2015: Santigold brings one hell of a party to Latitude. Check out our exclusive photos of the fun right here.
Santigold, dressed in a picnic table checked tracksuit with a fried egg on toast emblazoned on her chest, had the charisma and confidence to open with some of her biggest hits - safe in the knowledge that her magnetic presence alone would prevent the crowd from leaving.
Rather than dripping gradually away, in fact, the crowd grew steadily in size as the Philadelphia electronic musician previewed several tracks fron her forthcoming third album - the follow-up to 2012's Master Of My Make-Believe.
Less as an attempt to bribe the crowd to stay than as a revival technique (the level of dancing, so far, had been unprecedented) Santigold recruited her dancers, dressed head to toe in yellow with the name of several breakfast foods written on their person, to hand out doughnuts to those lucky enough to be in the front row.
That wasn't all that was in store for Santigold's biggest fans though (or, perhaps, those who had set up camp in wait for Alt-J later this evening) - she picked out several of the most enthusiastic to join her onstage for a mass dance. Eventually, as the crowd became more and more zealous, she conceded, "Anyone who can make it up can come on stage." The stage ended up packed beyond recognition.
