Whether it’s walking to find a toilet, queuing for a drink, or not being as clean as they’d like, festivals help people start to imagine what it might be like for the millions of people around the world who don’t have access to clean water or toilets. " The audio was extremely well handled and solidly balanced at the main (Orange) stage. It was also quite well done at the other secondary stages, though I found the acoustics at Arena (a large tent) to be ever so slightly sub-par.

My story is why women shouldn't pee outside. On a canoe trip, boozing it up, when I gotta go! We are in the Kankakee River with nothing in sight for miles. Why I didn't just jump in, I don't know, but instead we paddle up to a little island. I drop my swim suit, lean on a tree and take my badly needed whiz. No harm done.Glastonbury Festival organizers said in a statement to CNN that they had a “thorough and successful waterways sampling regime” in place – agreed with the Environment Agency – which did not raise any concerns in 2019.

Anna Hedges, special events project manager at WaterAid, said: “We’re really excited to be working with PEEQUAL as it officially launches this summer, with our fabulous volunteers on hand to help offer female Glastonbury-goers a great toilet experience. I had no idea what to expect from Roskilde. I vaguely understood the relationship between the music and the camps, but didn’t really fully grasp just how rich both experiences would be. I also had no clue what to anticipate as far as what the camp would look like or what the caliber of the musical performances might be. I was also expecting significantly smaller facilities with radically fewer amenities. So, here are a few of my takeaways. The “camp” culture is a core component of the festival experience. For Americans, you can think of it a bit like a seven day tailgating session. Camp complexity and size varies widely, but most consist of at least five tents and a pavilion. In our case we had 19 tents of various sizes huddled more or less on-top of each other, all surrounding a central pavilion. Our festival veterans had chosen the “B” camp, due to its smaller size, location, and reputation for being social, but much less crazy than areas like “C” which was a 3 minute walk away. There are also “quiet” camps and “clean” camps, which tend to be less chaotic and draw an older crowd.

What can I say, It's what I love.

One woman who went to the gig said she had to wait an estimated 45 minutes in a queue, and was then directed to the disabled toilets, of which there were only six, and where she had to wait a further 20 minutes. Read More Related Articles

Andrew Davies tweeted: "Thankfully, the Stereophonics gig at Singleton Park has confirmed my hate of outside shows, miles of queues for toilets and beer, captive audience, money making machine." You CAN still cook. I had read that fires were not allowed in the camps, which I thought meant that hot food was out of the question. This isn’t entirely true. The camping area has set grilling zones where you can cook on gas stoves, or take advantage of the small bonfires they periodically light. So, if you want to camp and cook, it is entirely doable.Most disgusting– This one goes to the poor (presumably drunk) girl who had carefully made her way into the pee-soaked no-mans land near one of the fences. After artfully popping a squat, she lost her balance on the hill’s slight incline and collapsed in a very unfortunate heap on the muddy soil. This mishap was tied with the poor girl who got puked on in the midst of late-night drunken coitus. A lot of memorable things happened at Roskilde. Here are a few standout moments, for better or for worse. Or look out for a threadless tshirt-skin head/tilly hat wearing bloke and point me where you want to go (if I'm not with friends) . Had an epic journey through the crowd with the good excuse of a random girl who had 8 pints to get to her friends near the middle front of David Bowie I think it was. This has highlighted the fact that stopping public urination is so important,” Dunn said. “Not just for the traditional pollutants, which we’ve kind of known about, but for these these types of pollutants, which we’re only now really just becoming aware of – pharmaceutical waste, illicit drug waste – these are important.”
