When the festival first started in its early years the line up was mostly bands and singer songwriters such as Phoenix, Kodaline, and Sam Smith.[2][3] As the festival evolved in later years it mostly consisted of hip hop artists such as Stormzy, Travis Scott, and Ski Mask the Slump God.[4][5]

There are multiple bars around the festival owned by Heineken, Bacardi, and Red Bull. Around the venue multiple food stalls can be found with a wide variety of food and drink.[6] There is also the Longitude Lounge which is sponsored by Coca-Cola and is accessible by VIP ticket holders.[7]

Three Ireland offer free portable battery banks at the festival for a small deposit that can be redeemed if you give the battery bank back by the end of the festival.[8] The festivals age restrictions require under 16's to be accompanied by an adult.[9] Longitude Festival has a sister festival in the United Kingdom called Latitude Festival.
