Use an old Nokia phone

Taking your brand-new iPhone is a bad idea as losing or breaking your phone is a real risk. Substituting your phone for a classic Nokia will not only save you panicking about damaging your actual phone, but Nokia’s are renowned for having long battery life that should last for the duration of the festival.

Nachos make good campfire kindling

Evenings can become chilly, so to keep warm having a small and controlled campfire is a good idea. To save space and effort brining logs with you, nachos make great kindling and will keep your fire burning bright.

Remember the pincer movement

The pincer movement is a hack that will guarantee prime viewing for every music act you see. When approaching a crowd in front of the stage, start from the outsides and work your way closer to the middle as you get nearer to the stage. This movement saves you having to barge past hundreds of people. However, when you get to the front don’t stand right by the barrier as the sound quality is worse here.

Use a bum bag

Bum bags are easy to wear and just the right size to fit all your essential in. They’re also great if you’re worried about getting you phone of credit cards pickpocketed.

Take dry shampoo

Dry shampoo is handy for the same reason baby wipes are – it’s quick, easy, and save you having to use the dirty public showers.
