Calling all festie goers, planners, and the mate that does a runner 0.5 seconds after the wristband is secured!
Kiwi MC Crafty reckons he’s got the foolproof way to make heading to any festival with a group of mates a breeze - no matter how you like to mosh.
Posting a video on Instagram, Crafty shared his “fun fun times list.”
Just so you know, he’s qualified - Crafty’s been in the music biz for 10 years and has hit up festivals and gigs all over the world. The man knows his stuff.
First up, you’ve got to figure out who in your group is a Type A or Type B festie goer.
Type A are the organisers - they like to know what’s happening and when (that’s me, cheers). Type B, well, they’re the “go with the flow” sorts.
The first step, regardless of your type, is the team meeting - or as Crafty calls it, the ceremony.
“This is the point where you establish which acts everyone really wants to go see,” he says.
From there, based on the lineup, you can work out a group schedule around the must-see acts.
Crafty reckons the key is writing it by hand: “You can take a picture of it afterwards, but something about handwriting sets it in stone.”

Now, at this point, you’re probably thinking, 'Yeah mate, don’t we all do this?'
But Crafty’s "secret sauce" for making sure your Type B mates actually follow the plan is actually pretty genius - free time!
“You put free time between your anchor acts. Psychologically, this helps everyone out. Type A’s kinda know where they’re going, and Type B’s have time to fuck around.”
“And then they can’t complain when it’s time for the next set - because YOU’VE HAD YOUR FREE TIME.”
The last, and arguably most crucial part is 'The Final Destination'.
You pick the final act of the day and EVERYONE agrees to be there. That way, when it’s time to head home or back to the campsite, you’re not stuck wondering where old mate Johnny’s vanished to at some ungodly hour.
Better living, everyone!
