It's the walking that knacks you, knocking on 10 miles everyday. Why not try and get fit(ter) between now and the festy. Shoes that aren't going to rip your feet apart help as well.

And if you can, get a good nights sleep on the Tuesday, its always that what f**ks me up. I was asleep before 10 o clock last year on the Wednesday, thanks to no sleep the night before, all that sun and the constant boozing.

Here's my regime:

Assuming normal return to bed at 5 am.

Ear plugs, eye mask and tent coated in silver foil blankets. Take a valium at 4am. Get up at 10-11am. One pint of water with 4 rehydration sachets in and a berocca. 2 cereal bars. Another pint of water with 100g of REGO (Science in Sport recovery drink - see website) - trust me - big winner. Another cereal bar. Sit down. Read paper. Few tins of preferred tipple. Stay at least at one can per hour - fast enough to stay awake, slow enough to not get ballooned drunk. Choose time of escalation (depends on your music agenda). Escalate. Breathe a deep sigh of relief at midnight that you've not weeded out. Everything from now on is a winner. Keep an eye out for chemicals of your choice in whatever form. Take the opportunity throughout the day to eat well and whenever you're near a water point and not in a rush to do anything else, get some on board. If you see fresh fruit - eat that too. Go to Shangri-la or similar, get carried away, look at your watch, see it's 5 am and noone else is around. Realise you're an hour late for your valium. Go home. Repeat.

      Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.

      2027 Stage Predictions

      By wro_lap · Posted

      Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
