Stay safe
Lockdown
“Oops, soz, wrong
tent mate!” is Scally

Rickie &
Melvin’s
top pick!
“Nobody wants to be
sitting around on a
patch of muddy grass
in their finest festival
threads,” say Kiss
100 legends Rickie
and Melvin.
“Especially with
the weather we are
prone to having in
the UK around
festival season. But
the real advantage is:
it’s a two-seater!
What hot chick isn't
going to want some
Air Sofa action?”
