Must-have festival items:

You need water, because you don’t want to pass out, so H2O or Liquid IV. Put your iPhone on Find My Friends so you don’t lose your friends — or if you’ve got a really loose partner you lose a lot, give them one of those Apple [AirTag] searcher, and put it in their pocket, because people get lost. Bring, of course, some money or some cards so you can get food, because you have to eat. And a sweet sign. I love it when people have signs. They spend the night making a cute sign to bring to the set. He is cute to…

Rider backstage:

Water, and I fucking love bananas. I’m fucking bananas up there. They give good energy and are yellow.

Must-have festival items:

A few shades, for sure. Tums or Pepto Bismol, because sometimes food will upset your stomach and cause acid reflux, which I get a lot, so I need some Pepto on hand. It avoids getting s—ed at the festival, which is horrible.

Rider backstage:

We love granola bars, SunChips, apples, bananas — potassium, that’s K. Gotta love that. I want to keep the womb happy.

FLO

FLO.

Rider backstage:

Stella, Jorja and Renee: Hennessy! [Sung in unison]

Stella: Fruit, tea, lemon, ginger, honey.

Must-have festival items:

Definitely powder, because it gets hot. Hand sanitizer, hair brush, camera to take pictures, phone charger, sunscreen and hat.

Rider backstage:

I actually need to up my game because it’s pretty bad right now. I do a lot of pastries, Philadelphia cream cheese, fruit, sausage rolls — it’s a very British thing — and a bottle of rosé.

Red Bull, cookies and cheesecake!
