• Make sure you have EVERYTHING that you need for your tent. Extra tent pegs are difficult to come by once you get there.
• Get yourself a granny trolley for transporting things (beer) from your car to the site. This is what we assume grannies use them for anyway.
• Toilet roll. For heaven's sake, bring toilet roll.
• Water. Breakfast bars. Baby wipes. All these things increase considerably in value once you arrive.
• Air mattresses are infinitely preferable to no air mattresses.
• Support Irish music. Go see And So I Watch You From Afar, Jape, The Danger Is, The Lost Brothers, O Emperor, James Vincent McMorrow, The Minutes and Little Green Cars.
• Bring headache tablets.
• Bring wellies.
• Bring suncream (hey, let's be optimistic)
• Download our Summer Festival app for all the latest news! (shameless plus #1)
• Follow us on Twitter, for live blogging from the site! (shameless plug #2)
• Hang some sort of recognisable object (flag, string, anything) from your tent to make it distinguishable from the THOUSANDS of similar looking tents that will be there.
