Are you a lot younger than most of us on this thread or have you had a very sheltered life ? I think I first experienced festival toilets at Donington Park in 1983 . I think Meatloaf and ZZ top were on the bill, ( maybe Whitesnake too ) but it’s the toilets made such an impression on me that I never went back to a festival ever again 😂😀. I have been back to Donington park , to see motor racing a few times and the Sterophonics in 2001 and I have seen concerts in stadiums since , but 1983 put me off festivals for life . 😂

There must be people on this thread whos first music festival was a lot earlier than 83 . Come on folks when was your first festival?
1970s or 1960s ? 😀😀

Well…having been born on the IOW, I lived through the festivals of 1968, 69 & the crazy 1970 one.
‘69 was in Wootton, literally about a mile down the road from our house….but being *cough* of primary school age, I didn’t get to go 🤣
We could hear the music from our house, especially up on the flat garage roof…& I do remember hippies traipsing past our house (it was an un-made-up road at the time!) on their way there & back 😜
Ashamed to admit my first actual festival wasn’t really until we started going to Latitude less than 10 years ago.
