So I'm hoping to be brave this year and get closer to the front than usual! Been to V loads and never been brave enough before. Saw The Killers at the NEC at the front but i think festivals will be much livlier?  Will I live to tell the tale??????

Checklist for being at the front:
- Don't mind being covered in piss (not guaranteed, but be prepared)
- Don't mind losing friends (also not guaranteed, but may happen)
- Take some water, you will sweat LOADS!
- Wear suitable footwear, you'll be on your toes most of the day if you stay at the front.

Being near the front is brilliant, and you really get a great atmosphere. But it can take it out of you, so would suggest you only do it for bands you really like, and chill out during the gaps in between.

Some bands will be livelier than others!!

Just make sure you are prepared for the sort of band they are!!

IE:  I would not recommend, unless u r completely insane, being at the front for Oasis.  But this is more to do with the pee than anything else.

Cheers, def not planning on going to front for Oasis! Thinking of saving it for the killers- at least it's home and showers the next day!
