There's also a bit of a final-night tradition that you drink the rest of the alcohol you have and go feral, slashing, burning holes in, or otherwise destroying each other's tents.
But also, they're cheap tents that probably leaked all weekend, they probably have no real intention of camping again anytime soon.
Go home on Sunday mostly! There is a calm/quiet campsite area which I think does avoid most of the destruction - but the teenagers never want to be in it, because it's mostly full of older people.
Me and my friends did for 3 years straight! Met heaps of people there who also were from other countries. R&l can have one of the best Festival lineups in the world on any given year, and at the time it was £140 a ticket + £20 return Ryanair flight. To go to a local shitty arts festival it cost €200 so it was a no brainer for us
you make the uber stop at walmart of what ever and pick up a cooler, ice food and everything else you need for the weekend. this stuff was bought to be disposable.

Cheap tents, The insane rain and mud after a weekend of music, drink and drugs.
Lots of people just think fuck it and go home.
