These People Bossed The Torrential Rain At This Weekend’s Festivals

As the festival season gets properly underway, the one undesirable constant of British summertime has reared its lovable head: the bad weather at the weekend caused a number of smaller events to be called off, but that didn’t stop thousands having some fun in the mud at Parklife, Download and Field Day. If it didn’t rain it wouldn’t feel like a proper British festival – so here are some of the best techniques used this past weekend to ignore the weather and make the most of festival vibes.

1. Throw yourself in the mud

If you’re already covered in the stuff, you can’t get any wetter can you? It’s foolproof.

2. Pretend you’re at the seaside

3. Go for a nap

Sometimes you just need to have a little sit down and collect your thoughts. Comes with the added extra of saving some energy for the later acts.
