We are keen to see full details of this new research, and would be very happy to work with the researchers to understand their results and recommendations.”
Oh and finally, if it gets really tight - crowd surf. Again, being a reasonable sized bloke I try to do it with some consideration - facing down, hands on shoulders of people forward. TAW - I've felt your pain, although thankfully only at the lower leg levels. I make it a rule to never pee anywhere but in the river when on a canoe trip. 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. 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. Best performance– I had no idea who they were and got dragged along to the Major Lazer performance as an afterthought. My god can these guys put on a show. The crowd was going ballistic, the energy level was unlike anything I’ve seen before, and their ability to hype and control the crowd was fantastic. Highlights included one of the band members crowd surfing inside a massive inflatable bubble, convincing most of the crowd to take their shirts off and throw them into the air, a human tornado in the pit, and getting the crowd to rush from side to side without trampling each other.I'm not the smallest (though not massive - 5'11 and reasonably well built). However I find that being 'flexible' you can get through without much forcing - lead with a hand in front of you, tapping people on the shoulder and gently moving aside if needed. When you plan to go to a big music festival or similar event, and now is he season in the UK, there will be a lot of drinking going on, so are you girls thinking I mustn't drink too much or I shall be needing to pee all the time, or do you just cast care to the wind and drink as much as you want, enjoying the adventure of needing to pee, perhaps finding some discrete ways of peeing at the festival other than conventional portaloos. I would love to hear from you on your thoughts. 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.

The researchers also monitored the nearby Redlake River, but found no significant changes in levels of illegal drugs around the time of the festival – suggesting the increase was directly linked to Glastonbury Festival. 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. " You know, when you’re drinking you have to pee all the time, and last year all the girls had to pee in front of everyone or wait for half an hour, so it’s very nice,” she said. “Also they are pink, so that’s also a little bit cool.” Management of the crowds and any incidents inside the Stereophonics arena was the responsibility of the organiser and if required would call on the police to assist where necessary.I shouldn’t have been surprised, after all I have a running sense of amusement at the fact that most Danes won’t jaywalk, regardless of how foul the weather is, but have no qualms about waiting for the light to change, crossing the street, walking 10 steps, turning, and peeing. It is somewhat comical, a bit disgusting, and utterly entertaining. Especially coming from a culture that is otherwise highly rule-oriented and well behaved. We were in a car, and it was going a long distance, when one of them shouted out, "Stop the Car! I have to get out and take a pee!" A South Wales Police spokeswoman said: "Minor incidents of drunkenness were reported into the multi-agency command room where the police were present, these incidents were dealt with by organiser and the stewards employed.

When you’re a girl and you go to toilets at festivals they are usually covered in shit, so to have a place where you know it’s only going to be pee sounds like the most luxurious thing in the world.” It was awesome! With a festival line-up that sported more than 160 bands from multiple genres, vastly different styles were represented. You had the super energetic and playful music of Manu Chao at the same festival as a soul-rending performance by Rob Zombie. All on the same stage that hosted Stevie Wonder, the Arctic Monkeys, Rolling Stones and Major Lazer. There are a lot of shops both in and outside of the festival area. These popup shops were selling budget clothing, camping gear, festival gear, and even roller-blades. As with so many experiences, these concerns turned out to be mostly fluff. The music was absolutely amazing, the party scene was pure mayhem but survivable and possessed of a giddy energy level that was invigorating. The food was much better than I thought, the facilities were much cleaner and less disgusting than I anticipated, and the overall experience was a blast. I can safely say that I’m now a Roskilde convert.

But whilst there were no complaints about the band's performance, many have arisen over the toilet facilities available to cater for the huge crowd. Rhian Lewis tweeted: "Stereophonics were amazing. Horrendous infrastructure for the gig though. Nowhere near enough toilets for an event of that size, without any crowd management. Women having to shield each other with jumpers so we could pee. Degrading experience."
Peeing on the land is something we will continue to strongly discourage at future Festivals. We also do not condone the use of illegal drugs at Glastonbury,” the festival’s statement added.

Within the camps (and to a lesser, but still considerable extent) the festival grounds, peeing was relegated to any object/location that wasn’t actively in use or tied down. This included any type of fence, trash can, tree, bush, or wall. While festival organizers made a half-hearted effort to make portable urinals available around the festival grounds, within the camps a free range pee was not only generally acceptable practice but your only real option. So, between this and the showers, I think more people have seen my private bits in the last week than in the previous three years combined. As you can imagine, this also means that you should NEVER sit leaning against a tree at Roskilde or step in anything that looks like a puddle or water. The stages were also set up in locations that made a lot of sense. I was a bit concerned about noise pollution from the seven different stages all situated in a relatively small area. I shouldn’t have been. The viewing areas and stages were also set up in a fashion that made viewing the main stage really easy, which was great. Even shorter friends had a less-difficult-than-normal time seeing the acts. Probably the dumbest thing I ever did regarding the subject was pissing on the state capitol steps when visiting a buddy attending Madison in 1992. As far as men are concerned in answer to your question, I and I'm sure the majority of guys who enjoy a good drinking environment, wherever that might be, but with limited availability facilities, would feel no hesitation in letting go wherever they are whenever the feel the need to go. Having to hold it for a long time can be a real pain and nuisance, if not impossible, so letting it go discretely wherever you are and whoever is around you is all part of the pleasure and convenience. We need to start highlighting the dangers of these drugs to the public and to festival goers and saying, ‘look, another reason why you should not be peeing on the ground, go and use the loos, go and use the facilities,’” he said.
