How to survive a festival

Events

Festival season is already somewhat underway but this weekend Secret Garden Party takes place followed by other festivals including: including Reading & LeedsSundown, Bestival and too much more that our sorry bank accounts cannot afford. But if you’re planning to set off to a festival, you must keep the below in mind and you’ll have a smashing time.

Festivals are great fun (but beware they can stain your hair from the above fun)

Embrace that you are disgusting. Throughout the course of the weekend you will be dancing, singing, drinking and not showering. It’ll be muddy and so will you. You will just smell, your hair has now become one and your feet are now able to camouflage into the soil. The sooner you accept the fact you are disgusting, the sooner you will not care and you’ll have an even better time.

Taking your make-up off and brushing your hair is not overrated though

Embrace that everyone else is disgusting. There will and always is someone more disgusting than you, you will see some vile humans, doing vile things – and smelling, like your good self. But do not judge these people, admire how wonderful and ‘different’ –make of that what you will- everyone is.

Secret Garden Party, 2015, may have made more money from selling wellies than the festival itself

Do not underestimate the power of a onesie. Sure, onesies were a hit not so long ago and we cringed when people would actually wear them out – this was never and still is not okay. The nights get cold and getting into different several items of clothing to cover all skin is a pain. Onesies are bliss in a cold and small tent at night – but whip them off straight away in the morning because you will sweat and smell, again.

Onesies can also double-up as protective wear if you fancy a strange non-musical activity
