With Parklife and Field Day behind us, Download just days away and Glastonbury drawing ever closer, it's safe to say that festival season has well and truly begun. While we're all excited about catching the biggest names in music at some of the world's most infamous muddy fields, it's time to ensure that you've got those all-important festival essentials. Yes, we all know that you'll need a sturdy tent, thick roll-mat and warm sleeping bag, but screw that. Let's look at the things that you don't really need.
Ever been stranded at Glastonbury or Reading and thought 'what I need is a solar-powered bikini' or 'where the hell is my beer holster?' How about all in one tent-sleeping-bag-coat? An umbrella that also holds pints perhaps?
Well, you're in luck - as these things actually exist and can be bought on the wonderful internet. Here are the 14 most ridiculous festival gadgets.
