Thousands of music fans have been left bereft as coronavirus impacts festivals for another year. However, some punters have chosen to take matters into their own hands and recreate the awful experience of festivals at home.
Music fan, Matthew Mantle, explained his approach.
"My music taste is pretty wild and eclectic. Firstly, I made a playlist with some proper banging shit: Scouting for Girls, The Feeling and The Greatest Showman soundtrack.
"Then I withdrew £200 from the cash machine and lit it on fire - that covered the cost of a weekend ticket.
"I created my perfect festival beer by putting a slab of Carling in the oven for 15 minutes and ordered a bag of chips from the local takeaway which I insisted in paying a tenner for.
"Next I gave my bathroom a festival look by blocking the toilet, smearing raw sewage all over the walls and chucking away the toilet paper.
"However, taking a dump in the garden was surprisingly liberating. Now I know why dogs choose to shit outdoors.
"I have a shared garden so having people tutting and shaking their heads while I drunkenly defecated in the open air really brought an authentic festival feel to the day.
"Then I headed over to the 'dance tent' which was a pop up tent I got on sale from Blacks. It wasn't big enough to dance in, but I certainly nodded my head aggressively as Scooter blasted out of my phone speaker.
"The day ended in true festival style at 1pm when I got so drunk that I passed out under my washing line.
"That was just Saturday. Roll on Sunday!"
