My City Festival Essentials | Win Free Tickets

On Saturday 30^th April 2016, Live At Leeds Festival will arrive and I cannot wait. One of my bucket list items for 2016 was to attend a huge music festival and Live At Leeds is the perfect event. Live At Leeds is held annually across a variety of venues in Leeds and always has an incredibly amazing line-up. It’s a great way to see the acts you love as well as discover new performers to fall in love with. The festival celebrates local bands as well as established artists and I’m so excited to attend. Jess Glynne is one of my favourite UK artists and I can't wait to see her live; it's also going to be amazing watching The Boxer Revellion, Will Joseph Cook, Loz Campbell and Tiggs Da Author perform!

See the line up below:

Of course, with every event I attend, I have essentials. And there are plenty of essential needed for Live At Leeds.

A Good Camera

Taking your iPhone and an enormous DSLR camera is always a nice idea, but can end up in damaged equipment. One of the best thing about festivals is the atmosphere, and Live At Leeds always has an amazing and enthusiastic atmosphere – so lugging around a heavy camera isn’t the most sensible idea. However, it is important to get extraordinary photos so you can look back on such a fun event. When on the go at a city festival like Live At Leeds, a disposable camera or smaller digital reflex camera is definitely one of my essentials.

Appropriate shoes

There’s nothing worse than wearing shoes that will cause pure pain all night. It’s a pointless pursuit, especially when a music festival is in more than one venue and in such a busy and exciting city. As Live At Leeds is not just a stand-still festival, there’s plenty and walking and exploring to do and so much the city can offer. It’s really important to wear your favourite shoes, but shoes that will stay intact and won’t take away from the experience by clouding fun memories with bruises and blisters.

Mini everything

I usually like to freshen up half way through the night because I'm slightly vain, so bringing smaller beauty items and even a miniature perfume bottle is vital. Carrying around a huge rucksack full of all your April beauty favourites is not the way to go, the more compact the better. If you’re a bit of a hygiene freak like me, why not pack an extra bottle of anti-bacterial or one of those Dettol sprays that are in tiny bottles? Lipstick is also a huge essential for me, as you can never have too much lipstick.

Cash. Plenty of cash.

Whenever I go out, I avoid paying with my card. I just prefer being able to pay for something quickly at a bar or counter, without having to pull out my debit card and remember my pin (which I always forget). Honestly, I don’t like using my card for anything, and there’s absolutely no chance you’ll catch me using a contactless payment card machine – I don’t trust them! Having change in a little coin purse or wallet is really handy and less of a hassle.
