definitely NOT any kind of lock to put on your tent - all that does is make it look like you've got something in there worth stealing! Rather than trying to secure your tent (impossible!) carry any valuables on your person or leave them at home.
Totally agree with Chris - baby wipes. bottle opener and immodium are essential as is something waterproof to sit on, I took a cheapy plastic beach mat to Leeds this year and all the peeps sat in the mud on bin bags were green-eyed!
www.onestopfestival.com do some great festival kits which include tents,sleeping bags, chairs , airbeds , lights and a whole load of other stuff. Their Travel johns which are a bag you can pee in that turns to a gel are fantastic.
If you are a wine drinker like myself!? I like to take a few boxes with me, after consumtion, the bag that the wine is held in can be blown up and used as a pillow! Save money and its eco friendly!
Hey
Other festivals packing essentials have to be toothbrush, pen knife, BOTTLE OPENER, anti-bacterial wipes for the washing issue and to avoid making a bad loo situation worse some imodium...
