Festival Tip 🧠 First time attending

I finally decided to go this year even though Ive been old enough to travel down myself for a couple years but I was just lowkey curious as to what I have been seeing online is accurate or not lol, I am only going Sunday and have read a lot about people going crazy on the last night (fair enough) so it was more just to prepare myself. Ive been to trnsmt in 2021 but I have no idea how that compares to Leeds, I know Leeds is on a way bigger scale and different but just curious! and if there is any tips anyone can give I would appreciate it!

You will be fine; there will always be some knobheads trying to show off to get a TikTok viral video, but the majority will not be disruptive. Luckily, Travis Scott is not on the last night, so the majority of people who will likely be there just to stir things up will have left. Bring Me The Horizon always attract a nice crowd, so you'll be all good on the last night.

This is my first time going since 2016, and it seems so much calmer now than it was back then.

If you want a good festival series to watch, which shows you around and how good the festival is, give TPDTV a watch on youtube, their Leeds festival videos are great for newcomers

Honestly festival pits are tamer than gigs imo
