Luckily, stylist to the celebs Alexis Knox is on hand to provide just that.

A muddy festival...

"There are so many fun wellies available to buy but if you have an old trusty pair why not try customising them? From adding stickers to pom-poms - go for it and have some fun, festivals are a great chance to wear things you would never wear on a day-to-day basis!" ASOS £25

What would you where to a... beach festival?

"Don't be tempted to wear flip flops to a beachy festival. Even though it's sandy you still want to dance your heart out without the fear of someone treading on your pedi! Try some fun jelly style shoes instead." Topshop £7

What's your fave festival?

"This year I had my first Glasto experience and stayed in the pop-up hotel, which had its own spa and swimming pool - amazing! But I made sure I experienced the 'real' Glastonbury by hanging out in the hippy fields, where all the arts and crafts happened."

Which celeb's festi-style do you love?

"I love Rita Ora’s festival style as it's bold and fun. My favourite was a cow-print dungarees outfit she wore [to Glastonbury 2015]. I also love Jaime Winstone’s festival style - she rocks leotards and biker jackets like no other!"

My biggest festival no-no...6 of 12

My biggest festival no-no...

"Taking yourself too seriously and worrying about getting muddy. At the end of the day it's a festival and the whole point is freedom of expression, love and fun... so let go and if it all goes wrong just throw a load of glitter on it!"

Ever had a disaster?

"During Glastonbury, my white vintage cowboy boots completely broke in the middle of the day. My boot came away from the sole, I was so determined to wear them that I ended up just cellotaping them back together!"

What's the One Hour Entourage with Pepsi Max all about?11 of 12

What's the One Hour Entourage with Pepsi Max all about?

"Jack Jones and I collaborated with Pepsi Max to create a VIP Entourage at EDC. We offered festival goers the opportunity to win the ultimate VIP experience – just the way they wanted it. It’s not often that people get the opportunity to have their own VIP seating area in the middle of the dance floor, with personal bodyguards and own luxury portaloo! I was used as part of the Entourage to give them their own celebrity fashion style – a real raver’s makeover!"

What would be your ultimate Entourage at a festival?12 of 12

What would be your ultimate Entourage at a festival?

"Oooh you can't go wrong with a bestie to enjoy the whole experience with. Plus a couple of security bouncers would definitely be handy to ensure we had plenty of space to rave out on the dance floor! And of course my own butler to supply me with as much Pepsi MAX I could drink throughout the day!" This summer Pepsi MAX is taking on a bold new approach to festivals and music, transforming the everyday moments at some of the world’s most renowned festivals, into truly extraordinary experiences.

The One Hour Entourage is the first in a series of genius music mash ups from Pepsi Max. Watch the full One Hour Entourage video here...
