How to: Hook up at a festival

It’s a known fact that festivals present near-perfect conditions for a hookup. (Says who? Says all the people who have successfully hooked up at festivals, duh.)

The climate is just right: Brilliant sunshine, everyone’s wearing next to nothing, the drinks are flowing, music is pumping, and the vibes are nothing short of epic.

However, one thing is missing - your festival romance. Whether that be a cheeky NYE kiss, a mosh pit pash, or an introduction to the other person’s tent, with an "adult sleepover" likely to follow...

Let’s explore some of the things that can get in the way of that coveted festival hookup.

Geography’s a biggie.

‍There are a lot of stages and even more tents, and when your hookup interest says, “Meet me centre right of the mosh,” that can mean a lot of places. That’s where technology is your friend. An exchange of Snapchat and a swift check of the Snap Map will be your best bet in that instance.

Better yet, fire up your HUD App and line up a hookup from there.

‍Not only does it present you with numerous opportunities at once (through a convenient swipe-free format), the features are designed especially with festivals in mind.

Water’s a lifesaver.

‍Not only to prevent the raging hangover that will follow you around the next day and prevent maximum festival enjoyment, but it also helps in the hooking up department. Water’s a good preventer of the prolific "whisky d*ck" or "wilted eggplant", which is never a good time. Moreover, water helps you remember your night to the fullest, and it’s guaranteed to be a good one if you’ve secured that hot-in-demand hookup.

Happy festie season!
