Leeds Festival 2024: What to bring and not to bring - a handy video guide to your music festival essentials

• Ever thought that you might have packed too much to attend a music festival?
• Or have you found yourself arriving at a campsite only to find you don’t have all your camping gear?
• Fear not - writer Benjamin Jackson explains the things you should bring and check before Leeds Festival 2024 and beyond.

Having trouble with what to pack for Leeds Festival this year, with the campgrounds opening in little over two weeks time?

Or have you ever found yourself in a situation for any festival where you wondered what the rule is regarding alcohol consumption on the campsite, or if you can quickly head to a local shop and stock up on more for the rest of the weekend?

Benjamin Jackson, who has tirelessly looked at the do’s and don'ts across the 2024 UK summer music festival season, runs through some of the essentials you should be taking with you to most music festivals, and the reasons something like a can opener might not be suitable for some organisers. 

As always though, this is a guide rather than the full set of terms and conditions attending one of the number of music festivals the UK offers annually; so for more intrinsic details, we recommend looking at the full list of items banned at the respective music festival you're heading to.

Leeds Festival takes place from August 21 2024 until August 25 2024. For last minute weekend, camping or day tickets, visit Ticketmaster UK to discover what options are still available today.
