If anybody finds any deals on a cheap pop-up tent i'd be very interested. Planning on trawling ebay in the next few weeks but if I can just buy one somewhere for cheap enough i'll probably just grab one, cheapest i've found so far is £30 but would like to try get one for a bit cheaper if possible, especially since I'll probably end up being too wasted to put it away and leave it up there.

Well I have to get a pop up tent and a sleeping bag anyways, but Im really interested in this little item.

A set of tiny speakers with a large sound and 30 hr battery life. IMaingo portable ipod speakers, a wee bit pricier than the mp3 speakers mentioned earlier, but Im thinking of getting a set.

Its a very nice size and I always walk about fests with the ipod on me (Dont leave it in yer tent!), but these speakers fit into a slim wallet with your ipod so very, very portable. Ive actually seen them cheaper on ebay and amazon than the price on the link.

We've never had any problems taking them in anywhere and how are you meant to make a fry up in the morning without one?

i can't reccommend gooutdoors enough! love that place. the one in coatbridge is massive and they have alot of the tents set up, so gives you a good idea of space and how you pitch them etc. cheap deals on all your accessories aswell like sleeping bags and stuff.. i'll probably get the majority of my camping stuff there from now on.

First of all bought a £3 quid hydro static 3500ml tent fae the mountain warehouse=shite woke up in rain water, thank f**k had the lungs to blow up my air bed enough, now from a T thread I added i was sent the following and agree!

Pure and utter brilliance, then again, poundland do a shit load of great camping equipment but also glowsticks etc, well worth it.

    • My wife works for a music company, they have an allocation already.  They run a ballot for it early next year. 
    • This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier. 
    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.
