Hey guys, I am going to Creamfields at the end of the month my first ever festival!
Has anyone got any tips/advice and has anyone been to Creamfields before??
Thanks!

I worked at Creamfields many years ago - not a great event { but I am not exactly a teenager }

Few tips for any festival:

bring:
wellies
wet wipes
Hand sanitizer
tissues (especially for the portaloos)
never bring a wheely suitcase, get a big packpack
Ear plugs for sleeping
Never buy a black tent otherwise when the sun comes up it feels like you're in an oven (my mistake that)
Never buy a one men tent, even a 2 man is pushing it for 1 person. I got a 3 man tent and had juts enough room with my airbed
Airbed (with battery powered air pump) - so comfy, even if it takes up a lot of room in your bag
Bring a plastic poncho
Sun tan lotion
Dry shampoo (for the ladies mostly, or guys with long hair I guess)
portable phone charger

Also use the lockers (if any provide) for valuables, there were ones at Download where you could charge your phone/cameras in, with an in car charger socket.

Have fun!

At Creamfields Lockers have to be booked in advance as they go fast. http://www.creamfields.com/info/pre-book-lockers/

http://www.eventelephant.com/giglockeratcream2012 they cost £15 so its not a free service anymore.
