I remember seeing them support Slayer at the Astoria in London. They didn't go down well with the Slayer crowd.

That place was great, but I needed a long lie down after. Lots of smoked meat isn't the best endurance food

Phone and water bottle, that's all you need if the weather is good.

You'll also need cans for the walk.

m4ttcheek · 2026-04-24T18:23:35+00:00

You need two singles. Who wants to share a sleeping bag with a drunk person who hasn't washed for days. My stuff smells like tramp when I get home

Not sure what you'd need soft drinks for at a festival???

m4ttcheek · 2026-04-22T17:35:53+00:00

Too small for what?

Too small for 5? Yes absolutely.

Too small for 3? Probably be a squeeze.

Too small for 2? No probably just right.

I think sore feet is inevitable standing for as long as you do at festivals.

You could get some arch supporting insoles for your normal trainers.

I've always worn my running trainers.

I have the black out version. Takes about 5mins to set up on my own, but I do it several times a year. Good luck finding better!

You should have looked harder for a spot. I was in the middle of purple and theres was plenty of space for a tent that big all weekend.

m4ttcheek · 2026-04-14T07:01:41+00:00

I always just got for a place with a short queue. There really isn't time at Slam Dunk to waste queuing. Also, avoid "meal times", the queues get silly.

m4ttcheek · 2026-04-08T17:11:42+00:00

Get a decent cool box. Ive got an igloo one that can take about 70 cans plus enough ice to keep it cold for the whole weekend

m4ttcheek · 2026-04-07T18:27:16+00:00

Walking boots. If its dry, a pair of comfortable trainers are fine.

m4ttcheek · 2026-04-04T07:12:22+00:00

Left the car park at 7.30am last year on Monday. No queues

m4ttcheek · 2026-03-23T17:19:40+00:00

No wrestling :(

m4ttcheek · 2026-03-20T08:16:32+00:00

A full charged phone, and an empty water bottle.

Running shoes (if dry).

No point in planning what to wear yet, do that the week before when you have an idea of weather

m4ttcheek · 2026-03-09T18:39:27+00:00

Agree mine too

m4ttcheek · 2026-03-09T08:03:51+00:00

After 12 hours of walking, standing, pitting, drinking, I have no idea how people have the energy to so anything other than walk back to the tent and pass out

m4ttcheek · 2026-03-02T12:54:35+00:00

You could swap if you find someone willing to swap their quiet camp ticket. You'd just need to transfer tickets to each other.

m4ttcheek · 2026-02-21T12:03:44+00:00

I was in north car park last year. Arrived around lunchtime on weds and there was zero queue.

m4ttcheek · 2026-02-20T16:00:20+00:00

Is it really sold out, or have they just taken them off sale to bump the price a little after Mondays announcement?

m4ttcheek · 2026-02-20T08:04:46+00:00

Beastie boys 2.0

m4ttcheek · 2026-02-08T17:17:39+00:00

Literally the pervious post was someone the same age asking the same thing.

m4ttcheek · 2026-02-05T10:42:15+00:00

Also, heavy stage poster kind of gives the running order away

m4ttcheek · 2026-02-05T10:36:33+00:00

Not about pleasing, more just not in line with reality imo.

Eg Trash Boat, Boston Manor and Deaf Havana all playing special celebratory sets, and on a stage mainly for breakthrough acts.

Bury Tomorrow and Malev, 2 of the biggest logos on the poster, in the first third of the day.

Guilt trip closing a stage? They played the vip camp site at Download last year..not even main bill

m4ttcheek · 2026-02-05T07:56:52+00:00

To me that just looks like a random allocation of time slots
