Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, has unveiled the details of its on-site activation at Latitude festival, marking its debut as headline sponsor in a new multi-year partnership.
‘Camp Klarna’ will bring Klarna’s signature bold energy to Henham Park with a pastel-hued summer camp and creative ‘festival survival shack’ - the ultimate pitstop for festival-goers looking to elevate their Latitude experience.
Among the crowds and confetti, Camp Klarna will serve as a hub for all things smart, social, and seriously creative - a place to hang out, kit up, connect, and collect exclusive giveaways - with arts and crafts workshops, games, and recharge zones.
Scout-style leaders will guide guests through the experience - offering festival tips, festival scheduling updates, and, crucially, where to find a festival survival kit bum bag.
With up to 40,000 attendees expected each day, Latitude offers a powerful opportunity to connect with an experience-driven audience. Research shows that 88% of event-goers are more likely to notice a brand when attending a music event.

Camp Klarna is where creativity meets utility - it’s playful, practical, and packed with perks to elevate the festival experience. From festival survival kits to places to recharge, it’s all about making your festival weekend that little bit smarter - and even more fun.”
Melvin Benn, managing director of Festival Republic, said, “Latitude has always been a festival where music, creativity, and curiosity come together in unexpected ways. Klarna's camp experience taps into that spirit perfectly. It's thoughtful, playful, and adds to the atmosphere of the weekend, which is the kind of partnership we value.”
This year’s festival will see headline performances from Sting, Fatboy Slim and Snow Patrol, and special guest performances from the Kaiser Chiefs, Basement Jaxx and Elbow.
