Forums throughout the Internet are littered with thousands of comments of rumors and wishlist's, money is being saved for the most expensive year of tickets yet - yep, it must be heading toward Festival season once more.
Most major festivals are finalizing with their big name headliners, creating their own hype while leaving their fans guessing as to who is coming to rock their weekends this year. With news of bands reuniting and some bands returning to the UK for the first time in years there is as always a lot of excitement in the air in regard to the UK music festival scene.
Those of you sat back thinking that the price of the festival tickets has really took a steep turn upward this year should look back to last year and see how many festival goers chose to buy cheap tents and leave them behind rather than take them home. This is not only littering at it's peak causing festival heads to hire MORE clean up staff to clean up your mess but it is also really quite bad for the environment.
Tents are not that expensive, you wouldn't book your ticket on a whim, you'd think about it, are they the bands you like? is it a festival you can get too? Think of the same sort of questions when buying a tent. If you don't like putting a tent up then there are a large range of pop up tents that you can throw and the job is done for you. For those taking large groups of people why not club together and buy a family tent? This not only creates a party atmosphere right off the bat but also it gives you and your friends one tent to put up between all of you. Easy! If you don't want to see the festival ticket price's rise next year then don't give the festival owners any reason to do so. Clean up your own mess.
Also this year Gas Stoves are strictly banned from all festival sites. This does not mean you won't have anything to cook on because there are some cooking appliances you can take.
- Trangia Stoves - These are powered by Methylated spirits, not Gas.
- Fuel Blocks - Some are quite slow to cook, but perfectly festival legal
- Disposable BBQ's - These are becoming more and more popular among festival goers. At least you know what the burger you cook yourself is made out of!
Year after year you see more people struggle with hold alls, bin liners and anything else filled with their gear for the festival. This only inspires you to leave things behind. Pick up a camping rucksack, they aren't that expensive and they are durable enough to keep using year after year. Don't look for a quick fix, invest in something you want to use again. Not only does this afford you more space and better use of it, it also means you are more likely to take your things home.
If you do head for the festivals this year then be sure to check out the GO Outdoors Festival Guide for up to date news, line ups, information and of course a one stop shop for all your Festival Equipment.
