Not been to any festivals for a little while, last one was Download in 2006 ( i think). I will have a look at the line-up for next years and decide then.

As for tips, all i take is my little tent, a hell of a lot of beer, cash, toothbrush and some toilet roll! That's all you need in my opinion, especially as it means it doesnt matter if your tent gets burgled. I wouldnt worry too much about showering as quite frankly the facilities are normally pretty rank and everyone else stinks so no-one else is gonna mind.
