Max

Max I went to six or seven festivals last summer including Bestival on the Isle of Wight and Summerjam in Germany; though the best festival I've been to is the Secret Garden Party, which is really small and intimate but with loads of things to do.


Lucy

Lucy At festivals you get to meet so many people who have common interests; you also get to see your favourite bands in the way they're meant to be heard - its brilliant.


Duncan

Duncan Always bring wellies, even if its sunny; don't bother bringing ear-plugs; always drink bottled water; eat doughnuts because they give you constipation which means you completely avoid the toilets! And don't wear the festival shirt at the festival!


David

David The worst moment at a festival was when me and my friends decided to get absolutely shit-faced. My friend took a bad pill - actually it was three bad pills. She took them all at once and started vomiting. It's not always a great experience to take drugs; you're not invincible despite being 23.


Rozie

Rozie My favourite festival performance? I think when it's live and there's a good atmosphere, even if its not something you'd usually listen to, you'll really enjoy it.

Emilia

Emilia My dream festival would be a festival abroad where it's sunny; I'd wanna see the Pigeon Detectives and half-naked men covered in mud!
