Charli XCX:woke up in a ball pit and two people were having sex next to me

[Serendipity 7,821]

What was your first festival experience as a punter?

I think it was Reading when I was 16. I saw Justice for the first time and I befriended this man who had one of those staffs, like the one Gandalf would have. It had a skull on the top of it and he had a really long beard. He was great. We raved to Justice together. I had plastic bags of cider strapped to me as well at that point.

 

 

 

The main part---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

What’s been your most exhilarating festival experience?

At Bonnaroo festival a couple of years ago, we had nothing to do the next day, so we partied really really hard. My ex-boyfriend took acid with Billy Idol, which was quite funny. We all watched the xx, and it was the most beautiful moment ever and we were all crying. It was only about 10pm.

Are you a keen camper?

Erm, you know, I’d pick a hotel over it, but I’m not saying no. What I used to be obsessed with was those pop-up tents. I’m not good with logistics and instructions, so putting up a tent with pegs is kind of my nightmare, but the pop-up ones are great and so easy. You know what else I’m really good at? Getting the sleeping bag back into the tiny bag. You basically just spin it around and then just stuff it in.

What’s been your worst toilet experience at a festival?

I’m kind of weird because I find the toilets at festivals really interesting. I always take photos of them and send them to my friends who aren’t there.

That is disgusting.

I know, but it’s funny for me. But I’ve never fallen in one or been pushed down one, thank God, because I would have had a tantrum.

If you could do only one hygienic thing at a festival, what would you do?

I think I’d have to brush my teeth. That’s vital to start your day. Also, if you have some perfume, then you can just spritz everything else up a bit – I can’t believe this is going to be printed.

With that in mind, what’s been your worst d--g experience at a festival?

Oh, gosh. I remember I was at the Secret Garden Party and I peaked, let’s say, very quickly and had to sit on the floor in the middle of this tent while the Whip were playing. Everyone was jumping around me and I just sat on the floor, passing out and vomiting. It wasn’t great. But then the next day I woke in a ball pit and two people were having s-x next to me. The sun was shining and they seemed very happy, so it was kind of the perfect ending. I quickly left, I might add – I didn’t want to disturb them.

 

 

===============================================================================================================

 

 

 

I’m happy with Kanye at ­Glastonbury, but to see Britney Spears in a festival envir­onment would be quite interesting

What’s on your festival rider?

Champagne, vodka, probably some form of rain mac but like a funky fresh one, bubbles and glitter. I want to bring loads of emoji balloonss everywhere this summer too.

What’s your preferred footwear for the stage these days?

I’ve got some really great stripper’s shoes from a strippers’ store in LA. They’re massive black platforms and they’ve got very wide heels, so you can do a lot in them. It’s a stripper heel over a comfortable slip-on any day.

Should babies and small children be allowed at festivals?

Yeah, as long as someone’s looking after them. I don’t want to hang out with them, other people might – their parents maybe.

At a festival, is it best to do the hits first or save them until the end to keep people there?

I think you should spread the hits throughout, you know. One at the beginning, one in the middle and one at the end.

Will you start or end with Boom Clap?

I’ve got to end with that, because we do this hand-wave thing in the middle eight, in a really classic, cheesy way. To open with that might be a bit self-righteous.

Who’s the most annoying type of person to be trapped in a tent with at a festival?

Someone who doesn’t want to do anything. Someone who’s like: “Oh, my God, it’s raining and I don’t want to get my hair wet. Maybe we should wait.” Also, someone who has their day planned out already.

Who’s your ultimate headliner?

I’m happy with Kanye at Glastonbury, but I’m also going to say Britney Spears. To see her in a festival environment would be quite interesting.

Sounds like she is a blast to be around at festivals! Very energetic and adventurous. 

I've done some partying at clubs and junk, all really mild stuff. I didn't care too much to really progress with it either, though I have friends that do some crazy ****. I'm always that lame person dancing with friends in the corner or just sitting back getting absorbed in the performance on stage. She'd probably find me a bore, lol.
