So. Any secrets? dioralyte? Alka seltzer? Fry up?

Absolutely.

Skip Dioralyte and alka-seltzer - these are expensive versions of very cheap things. You can get electrolyte salts from almost any health/fitness store either as flavoured drink tablets (expensive) or just tablets you have with a pint of water (cheap as chips) - buy a pack and they're also immensely handy on sweaty hot days, very helpful. 3.5p a tab rather than 60odd p for dioralyte i think it was

throw in a painkiller of choice and a fry up to get your fats and carbs back up and you're rolling.

Drinking more genuinely does help too, scientifically proven

Before I go to sleep I generally just drink a pint of water and take some paracetamol (I know you're not supposed to) and I never wake up with a hangover, usually just really tired. Avoid drinking lots of Gin, usually the worst thing to cause a hangover in my experience.

EDIT: I must say, waking up in a hot tent after a heavy night usually makes you feel much, much worse.

Dioralyte before sleep (absolutely key this, the next morning is too late)

In the morning, a bottle of water with a rehydration tablet (e.g. High 5) then one with a Berocca. Then food. If nothing is handy I have a stash of Nature Valley Granola bars (Maple Syrup flavour) and eat 1/2 of them. Full of oats and sugar. The Dioralyt before bed is the main thing though.

Long shot, but for anybody who has been to Amsterdam, did you check out the hangover shop just off of the main RLD near 'skinny alley'? It's just full of blue bottles of a supposed hangover cure, just wondered if anyone had bought one and tried it and if it actually worked

This is it. Spoke to the woman in there for a while more out of general curiosity and it sounded like she was talking shit for the most part.

Yeah it is expensive, but a lot of my friends don't smoke so I spent a lot of time in bars. When in Ro...Amsterdam.

Solpadeine soluble....be careful to use the ones with caffeine...not codeine.

Sod that, I always react for the solpadeine max, plenty of codine zero caffine. I need the sledgehammer aprouch to headaches. I'm worse after I come down off caffine.

Ever since I turned 23 the only thing for me is water, water, water sleep then some form of spicy food. I can't do hangovers

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
