It's either:

- 12 x 330ml Koppaberg Pear, 12 x 440ml Strongbow and a litre bottle of vodka.

or

- 20 x 440 Strongbow and a litre bottle of vodka.

Not sure I can survive a whole weekend on warm Strongbow though!

I usually take a hipflask of vodka with me in my bag and buy coke from the bars and top it up with alcohol. Might buy the 500ml or 1ltr bottles of coke and just pour my spirits into that instead, might be easier?

We have :

2 crates of strongbow

2 bottles of archers

24 bottles of water

20 capri-sonnes

32 cans of coke

Lemonade for mixers

There are two of us and it sounds like a lot but we both drink SO much, I always have a drink handy (I'm talking water, juice etc.) and with the amount of time we'll be spending dancing/walking around etc. we'll easily drink all that.

I know it's slightly different, but I've been to V for the last 6 years and it's the same there but it really pisses me off having to a) carry empty water bottles to refill B) having to go out of my way in order to refill and c) pre planning to have enough water for the evening and night in the tent (I drink at least one bottle during the night) and I've been caught short a couple of times when I haven't taken water and had to get dressed at 4am to go and find some! I think for me it's ease more than anything although I probably will refill on site as well when I get down to the last few!

well we're not known to travel light (thank god for trolleys lol) so usually have 2 cooler bags full of booze and lots of frozen capri suns/water/smoothies to keep everything cool of course, which finds lasts 2-3days tops

We're looking to take:

Slab of cider not sure which one yet though

Slab of kronenburg

Amereto

JD

Bag or 2 of rose wine I thnk (might freeze it to help cool everything else...)

Possible few cans of guiness

Only been in 2010 so we were always topping up cold ones at the bar and drinking our stuff either early morning or late at night when it was cooler

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
