Festivals Finally heading to a festival again? Here’s everything you need

Congratulations! Like Madonna once said, you made it through the wilderness, somehow you made it through. And although it’s unlikely that she was talking about last year’s gaping void of a festival-less summer, we can all toast to the fact that field-based musical piss ups are firmly BACK ON - hooray!

And so, while you try and remember how the hell you pack a weekend’s essentials into a manageable rucksack and if the bag you’ve left rotting in the cupboard since August 2019 is still fit for human use, let us point you in the direction of some items that will make your renewed festival experience even better. Enjoy!
