I've been to two festivals...one of them being the most rained on ever!
What's the forecast like?
Essentials:
-Rubberboots (ALWAYS useful at festivals no matter what conditions)
-Ducktape (will fix any potential leakages)
-Water (Buy lot's of water..you sit around a lot and it's easy to get dehydrated)
-Tent with a good tarp
-Knife
-Suncream
-Bring cash instead of relying on your card...it'll be a bitch to cue up in the ATM line.
-A flag (Will help you identify your tent when you're drunk and it's dark out)
-Rain clothing
-Tarp for underneath the tent
-Chairs (Not really essential but because you do a lot of waiting it's nice to have somewhere comfy to sit)
-Spirits (Will get you drunk easier and festival beer is usually way overpriced)
-Hat and sunglasses
-Thick jumper
-BLACK BIN LINERS(They've saved me many a time)
Since you're a first timer I'll give you some tips:
- If you can try and find a slanted area or somewhere that is slightly raised to set up camp. It might be hellish to sleep on but by god does it make a difference in the rain!
-Avoid the outside of the blocks that the tents are arranged in. People tend to piss along them and it starts smelling.
-The less crowded the better! From experience I'd seriously advise you to move further down from the stage to stay in a less populated area. You'll get more space to be drunk, you won't be ontop of other tents and it's generally quieter during the day when you're hungover. It's worth the little extra distance to walk.
-Pitch your tent with a tarp underneath to avoid your tent becoming damp or leaking from below.
-Pitch your tent inwards away from the path.
-Stock up on water because it's amazing how badly you'll need it when the time comes.
-Stock up on beer before you enter the camping/festival area-It'll be cheaper and if you're a moneymaking man you could even bring some extra and sell it for just under the festival price. You'll make a profit.
-Pick up your trash-At Roskilde we got a free cold six pack for every full bin liner of trash we collected. Most festivals do this to help them clean up.
-Bring a lot of toilet paper. This will be a life saver if the festival aren't supplying it!

Booze

Wet wipes... To clean before or after you get lucky.
Spare scoff.
Doss bag
Booze
money
Brew kit
Enough clothes including spares for the jolly.
Don't take a knife. They will no doubt take it off you or have you shot.
Booze
shit roll
good set of foot wear. Sounds daft but boots would be good.
Small stove, so you can cook your super noodles or boil some hot water for a pot noodle/ brew.
Torch. I recommend a head torch as well. So if you don't get lucky you can at least hold the porn and wank at the same time, with out having to hold the torch in your mouth.
Spare batteries. See above.
some form of music playing get up. At least then if you get bored of the stuff at the festival you can play something else. Like Frampton Comes Alive!

I doubt it...all the festivals I've been I've never been searched before going in. I just stashed my leatherman in my backpack.The_Guardsman wrote:
