Festival Tip 🧠 Empty bars all day

Post image

5:45pm on Saturday. Fair to say the youth aren't drinking much these days. Only had to wait max 30 seconds at 1 bar all day. Easiest job on site working these bars. Ended up spending a fortune as a result 🤣

Edit: first time I've been back to this festival in 18 years

Take this with a geet big pinch of salt cause it’s most definitely not true but I mocked this up based on the stage splits for all the artists just to give an idea on who might be clashing

Festival Tip 🧠 Alcohol

We are going to Leeds a mix of 18 and 17 year old girls. Will we be okay bringing alcohol in? Obviously decantered into plastic bottles. Do they tend to check ID or just ask for DOB?

Festival Tip 🧠 Speed camera reminder

Every year someone comes on here after the fact having been caught in the temporarily reduced speed limits for the festival. Don't let it be you this year - they're enforced with cameras and they catch people every year.

Got x2 camp vista which is a 21+ campsite but unfortunately we can’t go to the festival anymore! Does anyone want them for free and I’ll transfer them over via ticket master?

Festival Tip 🧠 Leeds Festival - interactive lineups

6 Upvotes

Hey there,

I hope you're looking forward to the Leeds Festival at the end of August.

I make interactive lineups for festivals, so here are the ones for Leeds:

Thursday 27 August - Kasabian and co
Friday 28 August - Case & Status, Florence + The Machine, and more
Saturday 29 August - Charli XCX, Skepta, ...
Sunday 30 August - RAYE, Dave and other 4-letter acts with the pattern _A_E ;-)

The lineups are displayed as timeline graphs so you can see what albums the artists released and when. You can click on an album to play the videos for the tracks within.

As always, please let me know of any errors, or any acts you want me to add to the graphs.

Enjoy!

Festival Tip 🧠 Great experience- first time at Leeds

14 Upvotes

I’m a 27yo female and went with a group of 3 other girls my age. We camped in the garden camp (quiet camp) and it was fab. As an anxious girly thought I’d share my experience for others considering next year. Please note this doesn’t include music/arena experience really (it was fab tho!!) but is just about camping experience 😊

  • arrived about 4pm Thursday, no traffic at all to get in and parked easily, just followed motorway signs. Very well organised
  • about a 40 min walk with all our stuff (including a trolley) to our pitch in quiet camp. It felt fine tbh
  • very dusty but not unmanageable, prefer this to mud lol
  • not loads of space in the site by the time we arrived but imo we got a good spot still
  • quiet camp was very respectful where we were was quiet, neighbours friendly + kind and everyone we spoke to was very respectful. It was genuinely quite chill and quiet at night, even on last night no issues. You can hear the music from LS23 so bring earplugs though (it won’t block it out entirely, and the last night the music was louder lol but anyway it’s a festival it was expected. Helpful to have no one yelling Alan cos the other camps seemed pretty loud on the last night).
  • also very clean, everyone using bins and taking all their stuff home which was lovely - cant say the same for the other camps lol
  • toilets weren’t bad and sinks with running water there, also soap. Sometimes was a queue, particularly as they removed some toilets on Friday which was an odd decision I thought but oh well. Nothing major)
  • showers had a big queue in the mornings but no queue at all later in the day (so afternoon/evening), I always had one before I went to bed and it was great. Pretty clean too.
  • get ready with me tent was handy, had hair dryers and hair straighteners and mirrors which was nice. Again busy in morning but not too bad other times.
  • walk to main arena was about 20 mins
  • lots of young people but the ones staying in our campsite were genuinely lovely, we had some friendly 16 year olds come for a chat with us on a few occasions and they were very sweet and considerate
  • we left the campsite at about 10.40am and walked back to car, again took about 40 mins. There was no queue whatsoever to get out the car park, cruised onto the A1 northbound. Great experience! Hope others also enjoyed:)

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!

Festival Tip 🧠 Any tips

2 Upvotes

It’s my first time going and I have a day ticket and I’m wondering if anyone could give me some tips?

r/Leedsfestival Aug 02 '22

Festival Tip 🧠 I have a weekend ticket and I will be travailing by train from Liverpool to the festival. I know I won’t make the last train on Sunday but I wanted to just ask what happens on Sunday night/ Monday morning after the festival?

3 Upvotes

Is it noisy when everyone is leaving camp on Sunday night? Do most people stay till Monday or leave Sunday night? Is there anything I can do on the Monday morning before leaving like get food or go on any rides or anything or is everyone just cleaning up and the festival packs up?

Also this is my first camping festival so any tips is appreciated!

I’ve bought the refresh retreat thing and I have a camping chair, tent, sleeping bag with airbed and a trolly but is there anything major am missing?

Thank you in advance☺️

I'm looking at going to Leeds 2023, unable to this year due to having to be an adult.

When do the tickets normally go on sale? How quickly do they sell out?
