Festival season is in full swing here in Ireland. With Body & Soul taking place this weekend, tents and deck chairs are selling out in their droves.

But what about those who’ll opt for the more… luxurious of festival experiences. No, we’re not talking glamping, we’re talking staying off-site in a hotel. Roof, showers, a BED.

But, is this cheating? Are these people getting the full festival experience? Or are they dead right?

What do you think? – Is staying in a hotel during a festival ‘cheating’?
