Bag a bin liner for bad weather, advises gig guide

LEAVE your high heels at home, wear a broad-brimmed hat and bring a decent pair of shades if you’re heading to a music festival this summer.

That was the advice issued yesterday by the St John Ambulance Brigade of Ireland, which has drawn up a 17-point Ultimate Survival Guide for music-lovers.

The brigade’s advice comes as fans flock to events like the Rolling Stones at Slane Castle in Co Meath, the Electric Picnic at Stradbally, Co Laois, and concerts at Dublin’s Marlay Park.
