If you heading into the land of Rocking the Daisies this weekend make sure you do not forget any of the following…
• Ticket and ID: To avoid heartbreak, keep hold of them at all times until you get your wristband.
• Tent: Even in the unlikely event that it’ll be warm enough to sleep under the stars, intoxicated campers urinate everywhere, including on sleeping bodies. Take cover.
• Sleeping bag: Or a mouldy blanket from the Salvation Army stall, your choice.
• Roll mat: Or an airbed if you’re over 25.
• Good shoes: Vital in the war against broken foot, glass and thorns.
• Black bags: Even if you don’t mind sleeping in a decaying cess pit of beer cans and rotting burgers, they make good makeshift waterproofs. After all this is a “green” event.
• Toilet roll: Self-explanatory.
• Wet wipes: Who can be bothered to queue up for showers.
• Painkillers: Don’t let a hangover ruin watching your favourite band or DJ set.
• Plastic bottles: For water and strong alcohol.
• Toothbrush: No matter how bad you smell and how hung over you feel, a clean, fresh mouth makes everything better.
• Mobile phone: How else are you supposed to update Instagram and Twitter and make all those back home full of FOMO?
• Battery pack / phone charger: Don’t let a communication breakdown ruin the last day. RiCharge will be there to charge phones and other devices.
• Torch and spare batteries: Because getting into a sleeping bag drunk is even harder in the pitch black.
• Raincoat: You never know. Weather may be looking good but you really do never really know.
• At least one hoodie: See above.
• Sun cream: The African sun can get nasty when you jumping up and down in the sun to your favourite groove.
• At least one change of clothes: Not compulsory but people might not come near you otherwise.
• Cooler box: Because warm beer tastes like camel’s urine.
• Condoms: Even if you don’t get lucky, someone else in your group probably will.
Below is a map of the venue, or you can download the mobile app to give you line-up time, pin on the map where you’ve parked your car and tent.
