A ready made excuse to make to your boss.
I’d wager that when it comes to booking time off for festivals, most Irish people will usually give themselves an extra day or two just to recover.
Have you ever tried working immediately after a festival? It rarely goes well.
We’re certain that seeing some quality live music is the main reason why you’re going to Forbidden Fruit but there’s no denying that a few drinks and a bit of craic with the sun on your back can’t be beaten.
Seeing as we live in Ireland, though, it’s usually rain on your back but we don’t mind too much.
A survey by Technology company Withings has discovered that the people who were attending the a major music festival in the UK were likely to burn a whopping 3,400 calories per day.
This means that any three-day festival, such as Forbidden Fruit, will probably result in you walking over 24km and dancing for a total of 24 hours.
Those are an awful lot of shapes.
In a nutshell, then, the real reason why you feel as useful as a chocolate teapot after a festival isn’t because you were partying your head off or drinking like a parched fish, but rather a more mundane mix of walking, running between stages and dancing your ass off.
Then again, maybe you’re the type of person that prefers to hang around the bar than the stage. And with the line-up that Forbidden Fruit has this year, either way, you’ll be having fun.
