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. The tent was big with two sections, almost like separate rooms. I was sharing my part of the tent, as well as an air mattress, with a male friend. Dunn suggested treatment wetlands and reed bed systems could be used to help “break down and filter out” pollutants flowing into the river and protect wildlife. 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. 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.

News about our Dezeen Awards China programme, including entry deadlines and announcements. Plus occasional updates. Any ‘deposits’ into the toilet should be accompanied by a scoop of compost, which works with the ‘deposits’ and tissue paper to make compost called ‘ humanure‘. Most disgusting– This one goes to the poor (presumably drunk) girl who had carefully made her way into the pee-soaked no-mans land near one of the fences. After artfully popping a squat, she lost her balance on the hill’s slight incline and collapsed in a very unfortunate heap on the muddy soil. This mishap was tied with the poor girl who got puked on in the midst of late-night drunken coitus.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. 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. Anna Hedges, special events project manager at WaterAid, said: “We’re really excited to be working with PEEQUAL as it officially launches this summer, with our fabulous volunteers on hand to help offer female Glastonbury-goers a great toilet experience.

Everywhere you go, cinema, shopping mall, women are always waiting in line,” she says. “I thought, surely there’s a better way? Why has there been no innovation in the sector? Why are women still waiting in line?” Let’s just say it was clear that she hadn’t showered since she got there either, putting me off that particular sex act for a good few years. Organizers told The Guardian that the 2019 campaign had “measurable success” and that it would continue urging attendees to use toilets in the future, calling public urination “the biggest threat to our waterways and the wildlife for which they provide a habitat.”

Glastonbury Festival organizers said in a statement to CNN that they had a “thorough and successful waterways sampling regime” in place – agreed with the Environment Agency – which did not raise any concerns in 2019.

They’d been going at it for quite a while, in various positions, before they looked up to see the audience cheering them on. Fast forward a week and it’s the first night of the festival. We get very drunk, and end up in our tent.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. Researchers at Bangor University in Wales discovered high levels of cocaine and MDMA in the Whitelake River, which runs through Worthy Farm, where the hugely-popular music festival is usually held with more than 200,000 attendees. If you’re really germ-phobic and the thought of a thin piece of paper between your bum and the seat helps with your phobia, then invest in a large supply to last the duration of the festival. Two graduates at the University of Bristol have designed portable urinals to make peeing at outdoor events more inclusive, sustainable and hygienic, as Claudia Schergna reports

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.” 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.” 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.

Like @gldenwetgoose I can't give any specific advice on festivals or events in the USA as I'm also in the UK. Hopefully some of our friends in the USA can provide comments. I guess it might also help if you narrow the area down a bit as the USA is a large place and I'm guessing you wouldn't want to travel across the whole country to get to a festival. Carnivals like Mardis Gras in New Orleans would certainly be good opportunities. Recent research revealed that the critically endangered eels hopped up on cocaine from drug-tainted rivers may have trouble mating and reproducing, causing serious injury and muscle breakdown. On the last night, we met a group of girls from Newcastle, all of whom were single and in our drunken haze, looked pretty fit.
