first time at reading

[brighteyes]

Be my first Reading too and was just wondering do I NEED a locker? Or can I survive without one?

Also how many people dont wash over the weekend? Becuase Ill probably be too drunk to bother then ill be sleeping all morning and when i wake up ill either be eating or drinking again lol. No time.

You can survive without a locker, just don't take anything worth nicking (and keep all money/phone/camera on you at all times).

Nah you don't need to wash. Take wet wipes, the scented ones are nice.

Weather is nothing, nothing like having an epic rainfall halfway through like The Verve at V last year. That was a quality introduction to a British festival for me even if you do say it's V.

And if youre getting a tent make sure you get one of those which has an entrance, ours failed last year and the tent basically was covered in mud.

It's all about the Action Aid tent. open til 3am.

[Lewis2804]

The only official thing is the Dance Tent on sundays and the Silent Disco which might play some.

Just take a wander around the camps and you might find some geezers playing some on speakers, which is always a laugh, just wander up and join them.

And to the OP, just don't be a dick, try and avoid trouble (trashing stuff) camp in green if you want fun and some peace and quiet, yellow is a bit hectic for a person going first time who's nervous. Just enjoy yourself, go with an open mind (or take something to open your mind, but be careful), make sure you have food money or any food so you don't starve and don't trash people's stuff!

Enjoy it, look forward to it and you'll have one of the best weekends of your life.

im pretty sure there was a marquee, near the beer amnesty thing outside the main arena, by reaper bridge which was playing dnb on either the friday or sat night?

but have a wander round, who knows

Action Aid tent. Almost certain of it.

[Budweiser]

but if 90,000 people all think its unbearable and 90,000 people piss in a bush they won't get a licsense for next year. glastonbury had the same trouble.

do what we do most days have a walk in to town and have breakfast somewhere and use the toilet services at the same time. its worth it.

[Lewis2804]

Fair enough, I'm quite adverse to yellow camp, as last year a LOT of stuff got trashed, tents burnt etc. Wasn't too pleasant to walk through on the sunday night at all.

By the way, I'm 18 years old and I don't like it that much, I'm not an older fest goer who hates kids trashing shit. Green still has a laugh, but you can always sleep a bit there, rather than in Yellow, it'll be pretty damn tough.

[joshwarrr]

Just for a piss?

and if your telling me you've never pissed in a bush i'm dave grohls lefty

Going by last years times, I'd say Chase & Status finish at 7.30 which is when Bloc Party start, so you'll miss the first or last tune of whichever you choose. It's really not that far from the dance tent to main stage, 150 metres probably. You'll make it no problems, just have to push in a bit. Deadmau5 you'll have plenty of time to get back
