It’s not all about your smartphone camera – it’s about how you use it. Elevate your snaps above standard festival fare by considering angles, backgrounds and lighting. Photos can look striking when taken from a slight height, so take advantage of hills and steps. Keep your eyes peeled for colourful tents, food trucks and stalls, which will all pop as backdrops. Ensure the sun isn’t shining behind your subjects or directly into their faces. And snap many candid moments as well as posed shots – these are often the photos you’ll look back on most fondly.

Remember those pocket-sized programmes you used to get at festivals? You’d pick one up soon after arriving, it would get progressively more tattered as the weekend wore on, and then you’d lend it to a man called Spud and never see it again. Those paper guides still exist (probably), but most major festivals now have their own apps. They come packed with useful information – think site maps and secret set updates – and let you curate your dream schedule. Some even have alarms to help you avoid missing any of your favourite acts. Who said being organised was boring?
