To be fair, my bergan is always packed as I have done a few festivals already. Once we get to the end of April I pack it, and then once I am home everything gets laundered and them pack away again. End of September is the only time everything is taken out and stored for the winter. I even have little labelled shelves for everything ;)

A bit gobsmacked by the amount of kit being taken in some of these piccies......bare essentials for me:

warm fleece, kag, few T-Shirts, 2 pair shorts, plenty of underpants, deodorant, toothbrush, bog rolls (2), wet wipes, soap, jeans for the motorbike ride there and back, tent, sleeping bag, undermat - plus wellies if weather is looking dodgy. Otherwise DM's for M/B ride, and a pair of deck shoes.

Lots of money - its my yearly treat, so buy most stuff whilst there (booze et al) even though mucho more expensive.

Rucksacks make me quit angry so I'm taking the bare minimum this year!

which, last time I checked my list, was about 123 items long...

I always start off by saying it'll only be the bare essentials and it kinda snowballs from there. I really only wanna do one trip this year (with trolley) so I guess its be ruthless time. Im also determined that theres gonna be no last minute rush so i'll pack on Wednesday :P

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
