BBQ BEATS HOT TIPS!
· You're there to celebrate the first day of the New Year foremost: Fun, friends, trees, smiles, cocktails, talking random shit to randoms, dancing in the sun (or the rain!) - oh and some amazing live artists and DJs along the way.
· Make sure you dance your arse off, right in the middle of the dancefloor or better still front and centre, at least once.
· Talk to anyone and everyone.
· Remember that sometimes the best fun to be had is not in front of the big name act but dancing like there's no tomorrow in front of the smaller act you never saw before.
· Remember to laugh - parties and festivals are full of funny people and funny sights.
