New festival survival guide from TheSite.org
Planning on taking on festivals this summer? Theres more to think about than music! Check out a new festival guide launched today by TheSite.org, for all you need to know to make your festival season sensational.
TheSite.org Editorial Manager, Olly Benson, says: "Festivals are crazy. You see things that just wouldn't happen at a gig or on your average night out, and that's what's so great about them.
"But if you're planning on going to any festival for the first time, get some idea of what it is you're letting yourself in for. The straight talking advice on TheSite.org can help make your festival experience unforgettable, not something you wish you could forget."
To see the full guide, visit www.TheSite.org/travelandfreetime.
Some top tips from TheSite.org experts include:
- Camp safely - not everyone at a festival follows the whole hippy respect-one-another line. Some people are there for thieving alone, but with a bit of common sense and careful planning, you should be fine
- Be kind to your body - Tequila for breakfast? Booze might feature at your festival as much as music and bad falafels, but if you're planning a three-day bender, at least give your body the chance to cope with it
- Dress for the occasion - You may be tempted to dress in your newest, bestest, sexiest clothes on the off-chance you get to cop off with a star, but you'll be crying all the way home when the mud has ruined it all
