Worth it though festivals are for the money, it's worth volunteering as a steward/marshall/whatever your skill, to see parts that you might not get to otherwise - possibly even backstage if you're lucky! You'll meet others easily and have fun.
On the website, as you book.
You have just about remembered where you camped after an hour of circling strangley similar tents to yours. You crawl inside and slump onto your damp sleeping bag only to hear the folk next door un-ironically playing Phil Collins, loudly. "Oh how will I make it through?" you cry.
The solution is simple; pop in a pair of BioEars silicon ear plugs, twang on a pair of those eyemasks you get given on flights (you can buy these and the BioEars from Boots) and drift off into a Collins-free sleep. The beauty of the BioEars is that they form a perfect seal inside your ear without having to be pushed into the canal like the foam ones and they make the festival fade away completely. The loudest thing you will hear all night will be the sound of your own breathing.
You wake, hot, uncomfortable and ready for a hard days headonism.
Boots is the answer.
You can use it to carry your food and valuables around for the day. Use a small padlock to hold the zips together though - you don't want everything to fall out while you're moshing!
