leave after the headliner on the sunday and head home, best option.

Camp near a staff "hq" or next to a cat tower. You should be ok there.

four years in green at leeds, no major problems in terms of riots, but you do get the odd explosion, fire nearby. I think Brown camp would be best if you wanted complete safety.

[destroythearchetype]

sit back and enjoy the show

No fires from 8pm on the sunday anyways (or so they say). so hopefully sundays could be calmer now.

Maybe, but from 8pm they will start putting out the fires. So they will have to start from scratch. And i saw loads of security getting invloved last year round my camp. They did a good job.

generally people dont nick yer tent if you're by it

if you're going with a group of people, set up camp in a round and just make sure you're there the last night after the bands finish

if you're on your own, camp in green (leeds) lol, or near water towers

its not really that much to stress about

I always camp in orange... the section near the entrance near tesco. Never any realy trouble in that bit. In fact i dont mind it there

[tdrules]

I don't know what people are on about, we were camped near the wall at Blue and had no problems whatsoever after coming back to out tents at 2am ish

[crazypete86]

Very likely that nothing will happen to you. Stay the whole weekend and enjoy it, you paid good money so don't worry about it in advance. If someone does try set something of yours alight, explain to them that you find that jolly well unfair and punch them in the face.

everyone is telling him brown and orange... Are we not forgetting who camps there? jeeze

I camped in blue last year and had no problem

Actually, in 08 when the tent fires were quite bad, a lot o people seemed to give up quite quickly on tents that were well pegged down or had something heavy in, they're normally drunk and lack determination

realistically, unless you advertise your tent to people like that there's very little chance anything will happen to it

[Andy0808 V2.0]

I think it would be a hit film.

You say your game for a laugh but dont want your own tent set on fire, that is exactly how i feel, and green has been perfect for me. Brown is the "family campsite" apparently, so i can imagine that being TERRIBLY boring, like people going to sleep at 8pm or something

So i reccomend green, and taking a regular tent, to fit in with the rest, not like a teepee or huge bright tent etc

[jazzaz]

ive camped in orange for the last 2 years. and its been pretty mental on the sunday night all night. left at about 3 in the morning this yea. tent intact.
