First festival
Going to my first festival this weekend. Any advice?
Wellies, money, bog roll! with those items you will survive, forget any one of them and you are doomed!
Truth^^
Also, and this is dependent on your location, sunblock, suncream. I have seen WAY to many people have their festival ruined by an afternoon drinking in the sun. Standing around in the sun watching bands one minute, face down in a tent crying the next.
Trust me, I am a festival expert.
This is usually the realisation that they have spent a small fortune on a ticket from a tout only to find out the band they so wanted to see are in actual fact rubbish live!
Also Truth^^
Word of Advice: Pace yourself with the drinks
And Bring Condoms
Yeah, its not a race… enjoy the day cus the night-time is really when things come to life…!!! and get Craaaaaaaazzzyyyyy.
God I love festivals. Playing few in uk this summer, namely Kendal Calling as I am their resident/in-house DJ.
Not going to Glastonbury this year for the first time in a run of 14 (20 in total) which is quite upsetting as it is mine and my fiances favourite place ON EARTH in fact I proposed at Glastonbury 2011, but we get married this saturday so we had to forgo Glasto this year.
Our wedding is Glastonbury themed
Wruce just go and have fun, you are going to a festival not a war zone, what could go wrong
+1 to sunscreen!
Yeah, I def will Crem.
The line-up is okayish.
Zion I from 11:30 to 12:15
Baauer from 1:15 to 2:15
Porter Robinson from 3:15 to 4:15
Steve Aoki from 5:15 to 6:30
Should I try and push to the front or just get where I can?
Leeds Fest can seem pretty like it at some points 
. Although I had a knife pulled out on me at Bestival watching Stevie Wonder of all people.
But in all seriousness you will love it. Take essentials, and I would advise taking a cheap old phone, Nokia 3210 like, as so many people I know lose or break iPhones at festivals.
Enjoy the day and soak up the atmosphere, but don’t get too drunk. Far too many times I have peaked too early and missed an act I wanted to see in the evening.
Also check out the comedy tent if they have one, nothing better in the morning than some stand up
don´t forget water! the dehydration game at festivals is on fire!
+1 to that had a buddy fish it twice due to dehydration and no Mali was involved
If you’ve got one, a camelbak.
cough Yorkshire cough
the cheap mobile/cell is a great call but I kind of enjoy the getting lost for a couple of days part. Hard to do with your mum and all your mates ringing to see where you are : “yes mum i am fine, no mum i wont drop loads of acid and join a travelling circus, honestly!”
aight I have a decade of festival experience… Go buy a FannyPack with a bottle holder on it!!! put your wallet, phone, water, chapstick, Vicks, Bandana, Whistle, Candy Bracelets, Sunglasses, Sunscreen, Party Favors 
in it. Don’t get wasted til 7:20pm. That is all i can think of oh yea let loose and enjoy the music, be yourself no one knows who you are and your wearing a bandana lol have fun!!!
bring test kit
water
hahahahah
However much water and food you bring, it won’t be enough.
good footwear that can survive a lot of mud in case it rains
Cheap footwear that can be thrown in the garbage after the festival in case it rains
We all have our own way of dealing with these kinda things
