Where’s our tent? 10 things that happen at EVERY music festival
For some, music festivals are a one-off occasion and something to simply check off the old bucket list.
For others, they take over entire summers and dictate numerous weekends between May and September.
Whether you’re a slave to festival season or have dipped your toe only once, you’ll know that certain things are bound to happen at each and every music festival.
And here, ladies, are just ten.
1. You will get properly lost at least once over the weekend.
“Oh I say, kind stranger, if I give you a can, can I stay in your tent tonight… or at least nearby?”
2. You will have a PARTICULARLY bad toilet experience.
“Girls, I didn’t want to have to tell you this, but I had to use my sock…”
3. You will miss at least one of the acts you’ve talked about for months.
“Two hours ago?! What?! But that was burger-time!”
4. Your face will become one with the ground at least once.
“Those DAMN ropes! Did anyone see that?”
5. You will have one seriously intense DMC with a random stranger at 3am.
“My dad has never understood me, man.”
6. You will forget one essential and have to beg, borrow and steal all weekend.
“Look, it’s grand. You take one wellie and I’ll take one wellie! No?”
7. You will panic every time you need use the toilets while sober.
“If I’m not out in ten, tell my parents I love them.”
8. You’ll lust after the festival style which other festie peeps are rocking.
“I KNEW I should have packed another flower crown. Gimme yours.”
9. You'll wonder -at least once – why it costs so much money to charge one damn phone.
“It’s like charging me for oxygen, lads.”
10. You’ll question at least once why you aren’t snuggled on the couch in your PJs watching Gogglebox.
“Do you remember what comfort felt like?”
