Those heading to Leeds Fest this weekend could get some of their money back thanks to a new tent pledge.
And it's all in an attempt to stop festival waste.
Decathlon is encouraging festival-goers to ditch the ‘one and done’ approach to festival camping by offering refunds when used tents are returned. How class is that?
Under the tent pledge, customers can get 100% of the original purchase price back as a Decathlon gift card, or claim up to 50% back in cash, depending on the condition of their tent.
The offer is available on Decathlon’s QUECHUA tents until Sunday 6 September.
It comes as concerns continue to grow around the amount of waste left behind at UK festivals. According to Decathlon, UK festivals generate around 25,800 tonnes of waste every year, while as many as 250,000 tents are abandoned in fields each summer.
But instead of leaving your tent behind, Decathlon is asking campers to bring it back to one of its stores, along with proof of purchase. It really is as simple as that.
Returned tents in good condition will be assessed, cleaned and potentially resold through the retailer’s Second Life programme, giving them another lease of life rather than sending them to landfill.
Customers have got to be Decathlon Members to take part, although membership is free and the retailer says refunds can be transferred to customers’ bank accounts in as little as an hour.
“Our No Tent Life Behind scheme goes from strength to strength each year,” says Chris Allen, Sustainability Leader at Decathlon UK.
“What started as a small-scale initiative has become an important part of how we approach camping and festivals more broadly - encouraging customers to return used equipment, keep valuable materials in circulation, and give more products a second chapter through our Second Life programme.
"This year, we’re helping customers’ pockets as well as our planet. With our new one-hour bank transfer service, we’re providing the flexibility and value needed to turn unused gear into new adventures."
Fontaines D.C. announce huge Leeds gig on new European tour
Daisy Jackson
Fontaines D.C. are coming to Leeds for a huge headline show as part of their biggest tour to date.
The wildly popular Irish rock band are set to play a whopping 20 arena shows across Europe and the UK this autumn, including a major gig at Leeds' First Direct Bank Arena.
The tour has been announced in celebration of their upcoming fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, which is set for release this October.
Fontaines D.C. will hit the road just five days after the album drops, kicking off their European tour in Lisbon on 21 October.
They'll then make their way over to the UK, with shows in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
The band are set to play the First Direct Bank Arena on Tuesday 24 November, giving Leeds fans the chance to see one of the biggest names in modern rock on their biggest headline tour yet.
The announcement comes as Fontaines D.C. prepare to headline Reading & Leeds Festival, where they'll take to the stage at one of the UK's biggest music events.
They've already released Marianne, the first single from their new album, and frontman Grian Chatten says of the record: "The album itself is a dopamine chamber. You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you."
The new record has been recorded between London, the English countryside, and Palermo, where Chatten recorded vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions.
He said: "There’s a poignant sense of us being on the brink of some other kind of form of humanity, or non-humanity."
Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Thursday 3 September, with pre-sale live from 10am on Tuesday 1 September.
Fans who pre-order Dopamine Chamber from the official store by 6pm on Monday 31 August will gain access to the UK pre-sale.
