I was a festival newbie, last year (2010). It was my first Leeds Festival and my parents were anxious about letting me go. My brother had been going for a few years and I think him being there reassured them that I'd be ok. I took the train there with a friend on the thursday and I'm glad I packed relatively lightly. people were struggling with suitcases and tents and we just had hiking bags and we managed to get to the gate fairly quickly. The staff were really friendly and we weren't as searched as we thought we'd be. We were camped in yellow, my brother and his friends had early birds so he took our tents (again; a really wise decision) and quickly got ...  Read the complete review
