You've queued up all night, got to the front, seen Kate Nash open up etc etc........

But after a while Mother Nature takes over........you need the toilet but you don't want to lose your prime position.......what you gonna do........

Depends who's playing. If it's Coldplay or Kate Nash I'd have to fill a bottle and lob it accordingly!!

Well that's a bit rum considering Kate Nash opened.......storing it up before the event kicks off..........

I was once stood in the middle of the pyramid stage field, I can't remember who was playing but it was pretty full, when I turned round to find out where the sound of 'running water' was coming from - a bloke had decided he couldn't be bothered to walk to the toilets, or even the edge of the field, and had decided to just have a pee where he was stood (about four foot behind me!).

You'd need a teaspoon or something to scoop it in to the bottle..............

I've never been to a festival, however, I have this already decided.

I would never try to get to the front. I've already seen bands at the front row. Instead I would be nearer the back, just soaking up the festival atmos.

A friend of mine has been to a few festivals. He can be seen nearer the sides with a beer and a smoke, sitting and enjoying the moment. I'd like to think I'd do the same.

I remember going to the Finsbury Park Festival once, got there late and wanted to get quite near the front to see Pulp......

My wife pretended to be a member of the England Ladies Cricket team as a ruse to let us past people on a flimsy 'VIP' premise.........

Karma prevailed when someone who was well up on cricket asked her her name and she turned to me and asked 'what's my name again Terrence?'...........

LOL.........

Actually, probably the most shameful thing I've ever done happened at a festival with me poor long suffering missus.......

Turned up, hamper full of sausage rolls (rock n' roll!) and bottles of beer.......got to the front of the queue only to see the old 'only alcohol purchased on the premises...' sign........

Covered the offending bottles with boxes of her Tampax, passed the hamper to wifey, flashed my ticket to security and ran on in...........

Looked behind me to see the big burly bouncer take one look in my wife's hamper, pull an understanding face and wave her in........

No queuing at a four deep beer tent for me that day..........

I often wonder what people do if they need the toilets, especially at events like live aid if your with a lot of people you'd have to take them all with you or you might not find them when you get back

Nearest thing I've been to a festival is Radio 1's big weekend, didn't have to camp or anything but I did when I went to get the tickets

I suppose what we need is someone to come on here who's been in that very predicament.......I've been to loads of evening one or two act gigs in my time when I've been in the moshpit 'down ver front', but simply pulled out when the need has necessitated........

Different kettle of fish though I'd imagine if you've queued all night to get a prime spot and it's an all day affair......

Reading... Uh, a few years ago. I was at the front all day (Foo Fighters day).

Stayed at the front. Held it all in. I sware I was pi**ing for half an hour when I got to the toilets after staying in (near enough) the same position for 12 hours.

Exactly the post this thread needed. Congratulations Adam for diggin it back up.........

Reminds me of getting the X32 night bus back from Oxford to Wantage after a nights drinking........goes all round the villages, takes an hour and a half........a real bladder burster........

I went 13hrs without ...going.
It was Muse at Wembley. Got there very early, queued up for hours, got an amazing spot and there was no way I was going to give that up just for my body to be comfortable!
Once you pass the initial 'I'm gonna pop!' stage, it really ain't that bad
