Asked it in the Questions subforum but thought it was worth asking here too: Anyone know if you can buy tonic water on-site, and for how much? G&T's my drink of choice and ideally I'd like to be able to avoid bringing mixer with me to save weight. However if it's impossible to get ahold of - or prohibitively expensive - I may have to reconsider.

The key mistake there is white wine - without carrying a cool box around all weekend you will be having it warm

I'm not sure there's been a Monday in years I've not seen a group of girls trying to stomach the last alcohol - the white wine they gave up on on Thursday. Easy pitfall it appears!

I opted for rose wine, a small improvement on warm white. If worst comes to worst I'll drink it with lemonade :beach:

I made some worthers original vodka a few years back and it was delightful.... So delightful that i completley forgot about a mixer and drank 70cl straight without even thinkin.... Needless to say i wasnt standing for much longer!

I did the same with a raspberry flavoured vodka and lost the best part of 6 hours and woke up face down inside my tent fully clothed. felt very sheepish the next day around my friends.

Is flavoured gin nice? I've never tried it but might give it a go with berries

Normally I'd just do beer but it's going to be a lot of weight to carry and it'll take up a lot of space on the coach.

Give sloe gin a try (make it yourself or buy it) its perfect for a hip flask, very easy to drink straight because the sloe berries are so sweet.

Just taking spirits in with me this time. One litre of vodka. That's it. Ciders from the bar.

Nice and simple.

i'm considering this this year to lessen the load coming in to the festival. whilst i love cracking open a beer, carrying a crate of them always absolutely fucks me (and takes up valuable space)

That's what I'm going to do as well.

After last years Titp. Where I took three crates of beer with me and my trolley broke. I vowed to myself I'd never do that ever again.

perrys 20L kegs of cider just down the road from me , probably 3 of them between our group and a nice vodka and mixer for myself for when the cider gets too monotonous.

MUST BUY TROLLEY THIS YEAR.

1 bottle of spirits, 2x 3l boxes of Westons, 24x cans of something for two people.

I'll buy some Brothers and plenty of cocktails when I'm there.

It will all be gone by Sunday, apart from the spirits which never get finished.

I take all this on a trolley by coach. National Express love it.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
