Anyone doing any festivals this year?

At the risk of sounding like the baby of the forum, Sonisphere

Backed out of Leeds this year, not good lineup as last year. Might go splendour though, Feeder are playing!

Bingley Music live might be a cheaper way of seeing Feeder. £35 for the weekend.

I suppose it is fortuitous that the question isn't: "Is anyone going to any 'Gig s' this year?" Imogine all the fuss there would be on vernon's venerable festival thread.

I like music - the food of love demands to be played on...

Must book those BluesFest tickets soon.

What's essential kit to take to a festival then please?

Have thought of a few things* but as a first timer would like to know what you take along with you? Wondering if my little camel bak type thingy would come in handy?

*along the lines of strong drink and earplugs. Plus something to make a decent cup of coffee with.

If there is some bad acid floating around, take a whole lot of orange juice

I take a pre-cooked home made curry for the first evening.
Trangia and tea supplies - I don't do coffee when camping.
Wray and Nephew overproof white cane spirit.
Slab or two of cider.
A small portable stool.
Never bothered with my camelbak - I managed to avoid non-alcoholic drinks for 36 hours at Knockengorroch.

Might see you at Solfest only if I can organise myself to drive over after Friday night at Leeds festival.

One more thing. Do get your bearings when going from the camp site to the festival. I didn't and spent 3/4 of an hour trying to find my tent on the first night.
