Here’s what happened when Glastonbury first-timer Idris Elba asked for tips…

Ahead of his DJ set at this year’s Glastonbury festival, Idris Elba has asked fans for advice on how to tackle the legendary festival, prompting some predictable and more unusual responses. 

Elba will make his debut on the Sonic Stage on Saturday night, having pulled out of the festival last year due to filming commitments. So, what do people think the self-confessed “#Glastonbury virgin” needs to know? 

Most stuck to practical advice:

Sensing a pattern on the wet wipes thing…

@idriselba take wet wipes, dry wipes, hand wipes, face wipes, a**e wipes. Whatever you got: take a wipe for it! #Glasto2015 #seeyouthere

Ditto wellies:

@idriselba whatever the forecast, leave your wellies at home at your peril …. And prepare yourself for the best party on earth!

Some ‘don’t eat yellow snow’ style advice was thrown in:

@idriselba @GlastoFest If anyone offers (or throws) a water bottle filled with yellow liquid your way, do NOT drink it.

Someone else suggested how to avoid ending up with a leg in a cast like Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl:

@idriselba @GlastoFest don't jump off any staging!!

Plenty advised the Luther star to hang with them…
