In this week's Festival Issue of the award-winning Shift Control (http://www.shiftcontrol.com)... Reg Presley, lead singer with Sixties legends the Troggs, provides a sound argument for today's festivals; we supply full listings for 30 summer events throughout Britain and Europe; and this week's interactive quiz asks: how wild are you about festivals? Plus... "Take your own food. Some people see a festival as an opportunity to lose a couple of stone, and judging by most of the food sold at them it's not difficult to see why. Just because it's organic doesn't mean it's edible, man. Take your own bread and Pringles. A baguette is also a good idea, as you can wave it in the air during an Orbital gig." - Nick Green on what to take and what not to take to a summer festival. "While Richard Krajicek and friends took early showers, mud baths were the order of the day at Glastonbury. It seems that those at Glastonbury enjoyed a weekend of filthy, sweaty, fun, while at Wimbledon it was all code violations and double faults. If we are really to admire our sporting heroes, isn't it about time they had some more balls in the rain?" - Roland Rocks rants about British tennis's lack of sporting courage. "We ate felafel, chick-pea curry and something with yellow peas poured from a bucket, then decided to head backstage. There we bumped into too many people we know who proceeded go on about their hotel rooms, showers and marble-lined bathroom suites with pre-heated loo paper. We decide it was time to either leave or kill them." - Simon Waldman on the great Glasto wash-out.
