leeds virgin ?

[guitarbhoy1888]

so yeah

wondering if anyone can give any tips, ideas, general info about the fest ??

[mrtourette]

Never been to Leeds, but have a read through the general info section on the official site when it's back up. I know the Reading one contains a surprising amount of info.

[moz4pm]

make sure you book monday and tuesday off work, your gonna feel like you've run a marathon

[kellyter]

What time does the music usually end at Leeds? I'm sure I've read this somewhere, just can't remember.

Thank you!

Getting an early bird ticket is a good idea. Lets you camp where ever you want and if its sunny then its all the better! Dont camp near toilets, by the sunday they are stinking. Try not to camp on hills or too near the pathways. The last two times I brought more food then I thought so maybe bring less than you expect but thats just my opinion, you may want more. Hope thats some help to you

[DARE]

Agree with above, getting an early bird was the best thing I ever did, it's so spacious and chilled on the Wednesday in comparison to Thursday onwards, just gives you time to set up and get things organised.

Take plenty of bog roll aswell, valuable stuff!

Dont bring that many clothes, its a festival not a fashion show, like some young hipsters believe it is.

[Prufrock]

Make the effort to go out every night and not just slump on your chair back at camp. You'll be surprised how much energy a few beers and just getting up can give you!

[moz4pm]

Every morning when you wake up no matter how rough yoou feel, get yourself to the toilets for a quick piss and teeth brush, get a burger down your throat and most importantly, get that first can of beer drunk as soon as possible, your only gonna feel worse the longer you leave it and its the beer that keeps you going, think of it as fuel

Don't bring too many clothes. 2 sets for the weekend would be more than enough (obviously bring a change of socks and underwear for each day) other than that though 2 pairs of pants and 2 shirts and a hoodie is fine

Take a decent sized bottle to put water in so youre not slogging to the taps whenever you want water for stuff.

Take more beer than you'd think you need, it's surprising how easy it is to get through when you're there.

Try a bit of everything on the night, piccadilly party, oxfam tent, relentless stage (even though it's dire imo) and the silent disco. Also try and see an act on every stage.

do you get two wristbands (one for camping and one for over 18)

where do you get the bus to tesco

anyone got a campsite map from last year .

how do the locals react to scots ?

[Dukeeyyy]

Ye expect

The Cure and Foo's 9-11

Kasabian 9:30-11

I've been going to Leeds since 03 and it is really good. The vibe is great, the people are all really nice and friendly as well, you will really enjoy it! But ye you will be knackered afterwards! (and heavily hungover)

[jonodillieono]

You get one for camping when you get there, then when you're inside you have to queue for a few hours to get the over 18 one (the line last year stretched as far as the eye could see)

The shuttlebus to tesco is at the yellow entrance.

I cba getting a map up

I didn't see any locals really, the festival is in a field in the middle of no where.

[ar1]

Get a locker (usually about £15), you can put half of your cash, train ticket home (if you've got one) and even charge your mobile in it.

So, no matter how plastered you get on an evening you can still have a drink and some fod the next day!

Don't be a 'genius' and decide to get in a barrel and roll down Orange hill... good old barrel boy!

Oof, how long is the walk from Brown to the main stage?? Looks worse than White at Reading!
