Festival season is well and truly upon us with the likes of Glastonbury, Wireless and Rolling Loud set to take place over the coming months and whether you're a seasoned festival goer or a total newbie, it can be difficult to work out what to pack.

Ahead, you'll find a comprehensive list of what to take with you this summer, whether it's a wholesome weekend of camping and hiking or a global gathering of musical masterminds. Scroll down to take a look for yourself.
