As someone in recovery I think this video is really refreshing and important . It highlights just how few options there are at festivals for people who want a grab a zero beer or cider. Amazing video as always.
This video really warmed me to Jake. Always liked him but you really see his personality shine through. He didn't even want to be sober and yet he puts in so much effort. Everyone should give him a quid this week.
Pushing his mate really rattled him. Stopped drinking the next day when he thought he was getting drunk and then didn't go out again incase he did something stupid again. Good dude
Im not kidding when I say, that I stopped drinking at festivals, and I enjoy it even more now. I enjoy being there in the moment when my favourite artists are performing, and on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th days, not having a massive hangover, specially when the camping is far away is a game changer. I really do believe the experience can be as good sober as it is if u are drunk
Hi guys. Firstly, I want to thank you for the great content. I’m a long-time viewer and I love what you do and when I saw the title of this vid I was particularly interested. A little context here before I go on. I am a 37-year-old guy from England and I decided to go tee total nearly three years ago. I never had an alcohol dependency, never attended an AA meeting and never really discussed my relationship with booze with anyone. I drank about once a week when out with mates and liked having a laugh and getting pissed. I decided to completely stop because I get anxiety and tended not to know when I’d had too much. This worried me a bit. I really thought hard about posting this message as I don’t want to criticize you at all, I think you’re great and pozzy vibes n all that but I thought your vid perhaps wasn’t totally considered and maybe sent the wrong message to sober or sober curious people. A big obstacle and fear folks have when deciding whether or not to take the plunge is “will I be able to enjoy myself without a drink”. I think your vid when some way to compound that a little and when thinking about it more, I think you were kinda destined to fail from the start. My advice to anyone who wants to make the change from drinker to sober for whatever reason is as follows and I hope you don’t mind my contribution. 1- Give yourself time to adjust before going to a festival. A festival is probably one of the toughest places to be sober. Build up to it. 2- Don’t try and emulate what you did when drinking when sober. Substituting alcoholic drinks for non, can’t be expected to have the same results. 3- Choose your festival carefully. As mentioned in this vid, festivals with a bit more to do will provide more entertainment. 4- Try not to be the only sober person. Pissed people are no fun unless you are too! 5- Consider your schedule a bit more. Spend the earlier hours with all your drinking mates and maybe head off when you feel they’re pissed and you’re not. Pissed people are no fun unless you are too! 6- Be real. It will take some self-control and time. It isn’t easy. But it gets easier and actually better I have found. 7- Savour the times when being sober is beneficial. Get up and have a walk and a coffee. Enjoy the fact you have no hangover, the weather is good, you’re not going to work and you’re in for a great day making memories you’ll actually remember. 8- Meditate. A tool I wish I’d found years ago. Try the app ‘Headspace’. 9- Do the maths. How much money have you saved not drinking? Treat yourself for succeeding. As I said guys, I don’t mean to criticize. I genuinely think you guys are awesome and living the dream. I just wanted to add a bit to conversation. Much love! Ed x
Brilliant advice. I quit drinking because my naughty side was going to get me into trouble and years later I'm glad I did. My skin looks brilliant and health wise I feel great. It's been a few years no alcohol and I only ever miss it on New Years Eve but am always feeling cocky the next morning when I'm tickideeboo and every other mofo is waking up hungover and might be doing the walk of shame! Best Wishes ❤
I like to party and do stuff, but the every time I have to go sober I still have a good time! After a long day I notice that I am alot more tired then when I do stuff. Obvouisly not as fun but I love that I can remember moments better so its overal not bad when I have to do it.
I actually really enjoyed this episode. Fun to see a different side, plus I actually was getting a bit worried for your health! Moderation in all things, even moderation!
Rob, you genuinely deserve the time for yourself, with all the effort you put into this channel. But please look after yourself, we love you eternally.
Bingley was the first festival I went to 12/13 years ago, it was alright then, first time I saw Skindred, pendulum, chase and status, and the blackout! Very brave going alcohol free 🤣
Stopped drinking 6 months ago and just did my first sober festival (Bloodstock). Despite having 100s of ales on tap there wasn't one alch free beer in the arena! All in all had a smashing time checking out bands, mates were super supportive of it and was glad not to be hungover in the 32 degree heat. But yeah some festivals need to accommodate the non drinkers, especially those who drove down on day tickets. Smashing video nonetheless!
i highly recommend a dance festival sober! Electric Forest is very creative and has a lot of hidden gems and shenanigans. There is a lot to do in the forest and you can dance your booty off. always something to do, great food, and NA drink options
Nice one team big up the sober crew. Been watching all your content in-between my own sober 8 week festival season this year. Quit drinking and drugs in 2017 and have had a blast doing festivals sober the last 5 years. I'm more fun, have more energy, dance more than most, im funnier to be around. Oh and I remember everything, all the music, the sets, the in jokes, pointless facts, peoples names. Alcohol is saturated in our society. So hard to get away from in the summer. Well done for doing this and showing us another side. Even if you gave up again! Was so gutted you lot caved in the last attempt to do a sober fest. Glad you (Slightly) did better this time. Hope you had fun. Love the channel. Go in hard next year. Do a FUN festival sober. Or 1 day sober at a fun festival. One which has stuff to keep you stimulated. I'd recommend and say come to Boomtown. Just been to my 8th, would love to see you lot give it a go, even though i'm guessing not your usual bag. Think you'd love the immersive aspect of boomtown! Loads of stuff to do both sober and twisted. But yeah not surprised you got bored being sober at that one. Think you'd at least done one full sober day at boomtown!
Only thing about not drinking is you haven’t cried a single time and I’m halfway into the video already. LOL I hardly recognize ye without puke tears in your eyes
Fair play to the lads for trying something new. You get pecked at to try a new festival and when you could've had a week off, you gave us another video. Cheers lads + mary
😂😂 It is actually true about vitamin d though, most of Brits are severely deficient and don’t realise I had to have 8000 iu a day for months to a normal level. Take K2 with it though 👍
I was at Bingley for the Saturday. I enjoyed most of the acts I saw (apart from Shed Seven, he never seemed to shut up between songs). I definitely think there was a lack of stalls though, seemed like there were just big gaps of nothingness between the stages. I'm glad me and my mate drank too, would have been a lot of time to kill sober. I normally go because it's literally down the road from me, but there'd have to be acts I'd want to see. Like you said it's not a hardcore festival, more like a family day out. The crowd in general also seemed older this time around, nobody in their 20's or teens. It's good for what it is and I'd had my ticket from 2 years ago anyway when it kept getting cancelled due to Covid.
I did a hardcore punk festival sober recently and loved it, i went because i love the music and didn't need to get drunk. there was a mix of drinkers and straightedge people there so the atmosphere wasn't too boozy. if it was a more general festival like this though, i'd probably get bored quickly and want to go home
I admit that while I was indifferent to Mary at first, I've taken quite a shine to her now. And I know you're working hard, MB, but summer is almost over and I haven't heard you slur some bars, man!
All starting to seem a bit partied out to be fair. We would all still come back to watching you if you had a proper few weeks/months off! Rest up and come back fresh I reckon gang.
Was that Paddy Considine? Legend, anyone who hasn;t watched Dead Man’s Shoes give it a go. Best revenge and twist film ever. It’s unscripted so bare with that but Paddy plays his character at absolute Hollywood level. Brilliant film.
Great idea guys, respect. I’m doing this at Green Man this year. The best non alcoholic beers in my opinion are Brooklyn Lager’s “Special Effects” and Big Drop’s Pale Ale. Both amazing and preferable to most standard lagers in my opinion.
Awesome. I once, didn't have much money when going clubbing so I was drinking Red Bull and water all evening and even out danced my mates who were drinking shitloads lol. Coffee, or ice coffee in the heat, is great as well.
I feel like the fact that there were only 3 of them this time may add to the boredom.. Razz would bring the vibes to this one. Shame the school was so close 😜
Well done for trying! Appreciate its genuinely knackering going to festivals, so the idea of a relaxing one must have been good.. but hard in a reality

It was really cool to bump into you guys (and girl) on friday!!

Power to you my friend
✌️🐜
keep at it 👍
Yeah I'm recovery too. Gigs i can do and enjoy, but I must say I haven't done a festival since being sober
Red Bull and water works wonders, mate :)
You better still be recovered.
Now we need a drug only festival video
that’s every festival
No we don't.
That's if they do Boomtown again this year 😂
This video really warmed me to Jake. Always liked him but you really see his personality shine through. He didn't even want to be sober and yet he puts in so much effort. Everyone should give him a quid this week.

Mary cracks me up 😆 more of Mary please ✨ really enjoyed this episode and will definitely be doing a pamper sesh at my next festival
Yesss!! Get a channel please mary 🥺need to see more
She's on OF, lovely tits

I agree about during the day but once the music is done and you want to vibe, you need the buzz
Long day though.
🧢
Cool story bro
Maph = zero craic (like this video vibe)
It's actually crazy that Paddy is playing a major character in the new GOT Spin-Off series yet about 30 people turned up to his band. Madness.
The bravery speech by Mary had me in stitches 😂😂
TPD you have been on fire with your consistent content this summer!! AND they’ve all been absolute bangers! Keep up the awesome work, love from 🇨🇦
The speech at 20:30 with the music behind it was the most amazing way ive ever been inspired to have a beer.

17:00 one of the greatest TPD clips
Didn't Dan do a whole bunch of festivals sober? Feels like this should get more credit
He didn’t drink, but he smoked weed.
@@CJ_Raider Cali sober lol
Nah, fuck Dan
Dan can't get any credit.
@@CJ_Raider😴😴😴😴
I’m on a mad binge of these videos and I’m falling more and more in love with you guys. Ya’ll are real ones❤
I actually really enjoyed this episode. Fun to see a different side, plus I actually was getting a bit worried for your health! Moderation in all things, even moderation!
Thanks
Jake always seems like he’s trying to exaggerate when he’s speaking, but I’ve come to realise it’s just natural 😂
Pep Guardiola must play Kevin De Bruyne, Thomas Tuchel must play Ngolo Kante. Rob as the manager of TPD must make sure Matty Briody is in the videos
I think he's nursing a hamstring, saving him for the big fixtures
Thanks!
When you see Mary in the thumbnail you know there is gonna be sass and bants. Was not disappointed.
That Gouls and gals - "DAD" caught me off guard hahaha
Rob, you genuinely deserve the time for yourself, with all the effort you put into this channel. But please look after yourself, we love you eternally.
I think the editing is more draining than the partying.
Bingley was the first festival I went to 12/13 years ago, it was alright then, first time I saw Skindred, pendulum, chase and status, and the blackout! Very brave going alcohol free 🤣
you guys make laugh and 35years of coing to fests ive started blogging.huge thanks for the laughs..keep it going guys
Rob roasting Mary has me weak. Sibling love 😂
“Sorry all I hear is you and your little soliloquies” 😂
The whole TPD TV Crew should do a complete health check physical episode 😆
Stopped drinking 6 months ago and just did my first sober festival (Bloodstock). Despite having 100s of ales on tap there wasn't one alch free beer in the arena!

boomtown looked fun for a sober person too
This went from sober weekend to shiv'd me mate in break neck speed. Excellent stuff!
The skincare routine and spa part was comedy gold
40:26 Absolutely gold. That is definitely not where Tux should be!
The retro gaming Magazine being held up like a pin up, to reveal an Xbox controller - top quality comedy.
Dyou know what I really miss?
Dad?
Alcohol.
Macklemore?
😭
This reminds me of super hands’ stag do when he takes them all for different juices 😅

Literally started cheering when rob gave that speech walking to the bar lol
Commenting here for engagement for my favourite pre marital group of lads just having fun at music festivals
Told Rob at Kendal that Briody was the best one. I lied. It's Mary.
Only thing about not drinking is you haven’t cried a single time and I’m halfway into the video already. LOL I hardly recognize ye without puke tears in your eyes
I genuinely loved watching the struggle of sober rob, then just to piss it all down the drain and get pissed ! Love ya work
👍🏻, great content
mary is my fav "all i could hear was u doing ur little soliloquy"
ever since i found you lot ive looked forward to EVERY video lol im hooked on TPD TV content, its too good haha
Fair play to the lads for trying something new. You get pecked at to try a new festival and when you could've had a week off, you gave us another video. Cheers lads + mary
😂😂 It is actually true about vitamin d though, most of Brits are severely deficient and don’t realise I had to have 8000 iu a day for months to a normal level. Take K2 with it though 👍
As someone who also went Hudds Uni and has been to Mavs there, Mary knows what she's on about.
A northerner knowing this little about joy division is shocking
Paddy’s from my hometown and a good friend of my late husbands. He’s such a great guy.
The trio we never knew we needed!
Couple of quid for the quality content 👌
I just got to "we're gunna have a drink" fair play. It did genuinely come across that you tried with it!
Never thought I’d hear a shoutout to Scott The Woz in this, haha
Instantly a Stella on the train table first scene 😂 Big shout TPD ✌🏼

48:57 oh Paddy Considine!? What a legend he’s gonna be great in House Of The Dragon
I admit that while I was indifferent to Mary at first, I've taken quite a shine to her now. And I know you're working hard, MB, but summer is almost over and I haven't heard you slur some bars, man!
can easily do a festival without alcohol, aslong as you have loads of mdma
@19:36 "Do you know what I really miss....." "Dad"....."alcohol"......"macklemore" 😂
this episode has had me cackling throughout hahaaa
36:16 sums up the whole video 🤣
Varley with a can of Stella on table at the start!
Rob the only melt who throws up from non alcoholic beer
Kind of thinking we need TPD robes now!
Oh mate at 39:00 I realized it was the Amazons just from the background sound. It's such a great band
Looking forward to it, is it going to last as long as the last attempt to go sober?? 😂🤣
All starting to seem a bit partied out to be fair. We would all still come back to watching you if you had a proper few weeks/months off! Rest up and come back fresh I reckon gang.
thats what they will probably do after Leeds
I get what your saying but it's the festival season bro, after a few months there wont be any lol
I beg Mary have her own channel 😇
she does its called only fans
@@hellodisdat I thought you were joking, omg.
@@Upright_Fly there’s 1 new sub for Mary!
@@hellodisdat get that bread
What’s her only fans?
I love the fact you tried and failed, fair play, the trying was hilarious!
Had us in the first half NGL 🤣🤣🤣
Nice to see TPD going to the town that I’ve been raised for 24 years
Was that Paddy Considine? Legend, anyone who hasn;t watched Dead Man’s Shoes give it a go. Best revenge and twist film ever. It’s unscripted so bare with that but Paddy plays his character at absolute Hollywood level. Brilliant film.
They met him a few festivals ago.
can i help you mate? tf you looking at?
It’s brilliant innit
I’ve binge watched your vids over this past week. This is my favourite so far!
The music as you go to get that first bev. So apt 👌😂
the fact that we cant drink alcohol and we mix non alcoholic drinks that taste like shit is a testament to our addictive personalities
Who’s Can of Stella is on the table
You learnt a valuable lesson that us non drinker always consider... Don't go somewhere shit if you don't drink, cos it'll still be shit.
I always stayed sober at festivals just because I didn't want to use the toilet much 🤣
Part of the Band at the beginning…what a tune!!
Rob’s “drink beer” shirt 😂
its like a shell on the beach lmao
He needs to get that sorted out 😅
Lol the laughs in the background when Rob says the sober day is "sobering" 😂
Alcohol! Macklemore? 🤣🤣🤣
The edit at 27:05 had me creased with laughter 😂
I’m from Hudds and I have to say Bingley Mavericks looks just as tragic as ours but always great for a laugh!
The sober vlogs are hilarious. 10/10 for the wacky skincare TikTok hacks
Great idea guys, respect. I’m doing this at Green Man this year. The best non alcoholic beers in my opinion are Brooklyn Lager’s “Special Effects” and Big Drop’s Pale Ale. Both amazing and preferable to most standard lagers in my opinion.

It's fun to watch you all going through withdrawals. You're welcome
Mary is an absolute worldie!
I feel like the fact that there were only 3 of them this time may add to the boredom.. Razz would bring the vibes to this one. Shame the school was so close 😜
I’m only just now watching because I’ve watched all the other content and listened to all the view from the afternoon so I’m here
So glad you had a drink. Could feel your relief 🎉🎉🎉
In all seriousness Days is actually a decent non-alcoholic IPA. Guinness 0.0 is alright too.
Well done for trying! Appreciate its genuinely knackering going to festivals, so the idea of a relaxing one must have been good.. but hard in a reality
This was so damn funny!! You are so good at creating content sober AND drunk. The editing is brilliant! Looking forward to the big one next weekend
bro we need a video of all of you reacting to woodstock 99
pleaseeee
Drinking game: drink a shot every time they say relax, relaxing, or relaxation. You’d be absolutely shattered.
