Saw some people down the front of the other stage with chairs during Blossoms. I'm talking almost barrier.

Only dick head occurrence I saw was at Bicep when a group of about 10 people tried to push through next to us when it was clearly rammed and there was no way through. My gf had a go at the guy in front as he was like "just coming through" with a massive back pack on too. She said there's literally no room as another group had just come before them and still hadn't moved yet. He gave her the biggest death stare. Pisses me of to no end when people like us get there early, have a good spot then self entitled w*nkers think they can just barge you out the way and ruin your vibe.

When Diana Ross was on, I put my cider down for a minute to get something out my bag, turned to grab the cider and the kid behind me had put her ice cream in it - her dad apologised, i said it was fine, these things happen, was very funny.

It's been said about 10 times already but HOW can people keep their backpack on in a crowd. It's either in front, or if doable between your legs. We did keep ours on if there was space around (I always did a quick check behind me if doing that.

And YES that small cute backpack thing can be a pain as well. And YES if you put your bag down it will get dirty. That's why you don't take your Hermes with you.

 

Managed to keep my backpack on the floor between my legs throughout Noel and Macca whilst about ten rows from the front. Totally doable. If it's a moshpit type crowd don't take a bag or don't encroach.

It's not the dirt that bothers me... When I no longer see people pissing on the ground in the middle of crowds then I'll start putting my belongings on the ground. 😉 Plus it becomes a trip hazard on the ground, so many times I saw people either step on or trip up over peoples belongings, including bags, on the ground. 

No problems wearing a backpack on my front though, just hadn't considered it, will keep that in mind next time 🙂 

Fair point. Girl in front of me at Macca had a piss on the floor with her mates surrounding her. This was before I'd put my bag down. Wish I'd remembered before I put it down.

    • 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.
