If you're heading to one of the many fantastic festivals in the UK or abroad this year, you're guaranteed a fantastic weekend away from the rigours of everyday life.
However, for many tech fans a weekend away from phones, PCs, gadgets and the National Grid is enough to bring them out in hives. That's why we've trawled the internet for the best gadgets to help you stay in touch, save money and have a stress free weekend at the best festivals this summer has to offer.
Freeloader Solar Charger - £29.95
Use the sun's rays to charge your phone - if you can find any
Any festival goer knows the constant battle with keeping their phone charged all weekend, and the hardships of keeping in touch with friends when the juice starts to dwindle.
If you're going to some of the season's sunnier festivals this year, such as Bestival, Big Chill or Benacassim then the Freeloader Solar Charger is the most essential item for keeping friends together.
The Freeloader comes with attachments for every type of mobile phone and an hour in the sun outside the tent can give you a day extra piece of mind.

4. I bought an Infinit Solar Backpack for Glastonbury last year. It meant that could charge my stuff whilst walking or standing around and take it with me so I didn't get my stuff nicked. I didn't want to leave anything in my tent including my iPhone and Camera. Blooming thieves!

Can even surivive a drop in a muddy puddle, which seems pretty essential for festival weather! Can't believe it's not up here

2. No mobile phone? That's got to be the number 1 gadget for any festival.

1. An MP3 player!? "If you want to listen to your favourite bands while in the comfort of your tent..." you might have considered not spending £200 on a festival ticket!!
