Weeing + Large Crowds


Guest Bugle

Recommended Posts

Right this is deadly serious, I wee alot, got a very active bladder.

I plan on watching Primal Scream and The Rolling Stones so this will be like 3 hours plus and I'll need to piss a good few times, I mean fighting my way through the mammoth crowd each time will be an absolute nightmare and I'm not sure if I could even drag myself away from The Stones set. Anyone got any tips and advice???

I mean is weeing in cup acceptable or a mates welly or down your leg???

Never done it myself, got a bladder of steel and don't actually mind leaving a crowd. I don't mind people doing it as long as it doesn't spray on me! Saying that, how to dispose of it? Pouring on the deck isn't very good for the environment!

As someone who also has a very active bladder I just find that I have to plan ahead and I stop drinking (anything) probably an hour before the act I want to see is on and I try and time my last piss top as close to when they're coming on stage as possible. This is much easier if like me you bring your kids so your towards the back of the crowds anyway. I can manage just about to be around the front at gigs but at festivals is just nigh on impossible. I really hate my bladder but pissing whilst in the crowd is just unpleasant and not something I've ever even considered.

cup is easier but disposal is an issue. Wouldn't recommend it if you're in a dense crowd like 'near the front of the pyramid stage for primal scream/rolling stones. Otherwise a bottle is the way forward, just make sure it has a lid...

of course the easiest option is to stand near toilets...

Hope the bastard Welshmen who pissed down the back of our legs during Neil Young on Friday and then Bruce on Saturday in 2009 are reading this. Different Welshmen I might add.

So best advice I can give is don't stand in front of any Welsh blokes at the Pyramid.

Never really had a problem, even at Pyramid. There is quite a bit of time in between acts, plenty enough to get to the toilets and back when the crowd thins out. Guess I'm lucky enough to go one full set without needing to empty but on the odd occasion I have needed to go mid act it has taken around 10-15 minutes to get to the toilet (urinals - no queue) and back again. It's not actually as packed as it looks and there is normally enough space to thread your way through - Just be sure you know exactly where you came from :)

If I'm desperate I'll go in my spare pint cups I stack up to increase the strength & rigidity of any pint I happen to be drinking, making sure to dispose of the contents in a toilet.

I never bother going to thr front anyway as its a pain to het out of & I have just as much fun socialising nearer the middle

Also if your male the urinals in the pyramid field generally mean that you can still watch whoevers on whilst you empty your bladder so you don't really miss anything if you do have to go.

No excuse really for not using them as far as I'm concerned.

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
