Festival season is in full swing, with the Isle of Wight already been and gone, Latitude Festival happening on July 23-25, and Pride festivals taking over cities across the UK to celebrate Pride season.
However, one of the largest festivals, Reading and Leeds, is taking place from 27th to 30th August and has one of its biggest line-ups to date with the likes of Charli XCX, Chase & Status, Florence + The Machine, Raye, and more taking to the stage.
Your tickets might be secured, but have you gathered all of the camping equipment and essentials yet?
If not, don’t worry, now is actually the perfect time to snap up the goods as Regatta has launched a brilliant sale and it’s full of gear that’s needed to keep you dry and comfy whilst lying under the stars and getting ready for the day of dancing ahead.
