Bring water. At woodstock 99 water cost more than beer, dunno what it's like for BDO. But dont dehydrate.

Invest in a back pack full of water mate!

BDO rocks out big time, I worry every year my kids attend.

They always have the best time ever! Sunblock and lots of water!!!!

I'll bet there, gonna be great. Shall be my 8th one.

Look for Enter Shikari too. Good band.

Bring sunscreen, money, a unopened water bottle. You get free refills inside.

Plan what bands you want to see, otherwise you'll end up missing out.

Let me know if you wanna meet up beforehand, gotta pick up some mates at the airport if you wanna follow us into the stadium.

LCD Soundsystem

sex, drugs, booze, and rock'n roll.

not going this year , have been to 10 BDO since started , always a good day, seen rage a couple of times now

, take comfy shoes as its a long time on your feet, as others said , opened water will be taken off you at gate, take lots of water and lots of DRUGS

Unfortunately (for me anyway) it's a bit of an indie-fest this year.

**99TLS** · 9th January 2008, 18:20

not as good a line up as some of the previous years IMHO

**Trudes** · 9th January 2008, 18:49

Yep, loads of water, sunblock, a hat and your boggying shoes. Don't expect to get drunk unless you can smuggle your own in (stupid long ques) and go to the toilets about half an hour before you actually need to go. Have fun!!!
I'm looking at going to this

They're not bad. But unfortunately, as far as I'm aware of, they are crap live.

Get a water bottle, knife under the seal and cut off the part of the lid that grabs onto the bottle while keeping the perforated part intact.

fill with vodka.

paper cups + couple cans of red bull = wings.

sssshhhhhh!
