Thanks for the memories
When festival season swings around you know that one thing is for sure - we're in store for some juicy celebrity scandals.
There's just something about the musical gatherings that never lets us down when it comes to A-list gossip.
Over the years we've seen it all, from on stage meltdowns to backstage fighting, and with V Festival only days away we can't wait to see what's yet to come.
So we think it's only fair to remember the top-notch celeb antics that we've been treated to courtesy of musical festivals.
Therefore, without further ado:
Kate's VIP problems

Don't you know who she is?
Rock chic Kate Moss is never far away from the music scene and always manages to provide festivals with a touch of glam.
But the supermodel seemed to have a 'diva' moment at Glastonbury 2011 when she was denied entry into Pulp's secret set.
The VIP reveller was seen locking horns with security as she tried to slip backstage to see the popular British band.
We're sure the blonde beauty isn't used to getting turned away at the door as you can clearly see by that look on her face.
Billy's musical meltdown
Green Day front man Billy Joe had an on stage breakdown while performing at the 2012 iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas.
The punk rocker took exception to the band's set being cut short after Usher's performance overran by 20 minutes.
When he was warned that the trio had only one minute left to play, the lead singer quickly went off on a foul-mouth tirade.
He said: “I’ve been around since f*****g nineteen eighty f*****g eight, and you’re gonna give me one minute?! You’ve gotta be f*****g kidding me!
“I’m not f*****g Justin Bieber, you motherf****rs!”
He then proceeded to smash his guitar on stage - as you do.
Tulisa's big bust-up
Tulisa Contostavlos already had her fair share of problems before being accused of assault at V Festival 2013 by blogger Savvas Morgan.
He told a court that during a confrontation with the former X Factor judge he was left with bruises and a puffy swollen eye.
The attack was the culmination of a long running feud between the singer and Morgan after he published her infamous sex tape online in 2012 which was only removed after a High Court injunction.
Tulisa was found guilty and ordered to pay thousands in compensation and legal fees but denied the charges.
Dappy's on again off again

Going going gone
Fans weren't happy with Dappy when he sensationally stormed off stage 10 minutes into his 40 minute set during the 2014 Isle of Wright Festival.
The 27-year-old arrived late and was met with a sea of boos as he got stuck into what turned out to be a three song set.
He later blamed his short performance on technical diffculties.
Hmm, we're not convinced.
That's not fair, Lily

Claws out
Lily Allen isn't one to shy away from controversy and has been known to ruffle some feathers with her sneaky digs.
But at Big Chill Festival 2010, she really stirred the pot when she made a very public comment about Lady Gaga's private parts.
After being thrown a potato which read "Show me your penis", the LDN singer had a cutting reply.
She is understood to have said: “They must have mistaken me for Lady Gaga.”
Ouch! We can't imagine those two will be collaborating anytime soon.
Head butting headliners

Rock n wrestling
At Leeds Festival 2005, Pete Doherty and Razorlight's Johnny Borrell went head-to-head backstage - literally.
Kate Moss' former boyfriend allegedly stormed into the singer's dressing room and head butted him after a dispute over a former lover.
It wasn't exactly a big secret as Pete later confessed: “I’ve been staggering around trying to see a band. But I head butted Johnny Borrell. So I’ve got to go really.”
Cher Lloyd makes a splash

Welcome to the club
Getting splashed by bottle of pee seems to be a festival ritual that some people just can't avoid.
But when Cher Lloyd ended up soaked by a reveller's urine she furiously walked off stage at V Festival 2012.
When the former X Factor contestant returned she said: "It's hard enough being up here, but it's not nice having bottles of p**s chucked at you."
