7 Magnificent Streaking Opportunities*
[in no particular order]

BENICASSIM FESTIVAL
BARCELONA, 16–19 JULY
With a line-up featuring Oasis, Kings Of Leon and The Killers, you may well forget your streaking intentions. But this monster Spanish music festival near Barcelona is worth a visit anyway. If you do manage to get naked, try to do your thing on stage during "Roll With It" and not "Little By Little".

PRAGUE, 13–19 JULY
OPEN TENNIS
Wimbledon’s too snooty and may get you lynched, but things are slightly more relaxed in the Czech Republic so your fleshy display could get you the local equivalent of a knighthood. Girls: please be advised that ladies here are considered among the best-looking in Europe, so “tidy up” first.

BUDAPEST, 12–17 AUGUST
SZIGET FESTIVAL
One of the coolest events in Europe – and with a whole week of bands, film, art and sports you’ll be able to choose the moment of your streak with military precision. Beers cost just €1, should Dutch courage be required.

BOCHUM
ONE-MAN LOVE PARADE
Normally you’d struggle to get noticed if you went nude at the ultra-liberal Love Parade, a gathering of German show-offs that’s been running for years but has been cancelled for 2009. It was set to take place in Bochum, near Düsseldorf, so head there, disrobe and feel the love/police truncheons.

ROME
THE SPANISH STEPS
One for the boys. If you want to impress the ladies, strip off and run up these 138 steps in the heart of town. At your own risk, though: a 22-year-old American chap was arrested for doing it in 2007.

CATALUNYA, 12–14 JUNE
MOTO GP
In 1998, motorcycling wunderkind Valentino Rossi picked up a mate who was dressed as a chicken after winning at this legendary Spanish bike track, so they’re clearly no strangers to tomfoolery.

DUBLIN, 10–12 JULY
OXEGEN 09
Friendly bunch the Irish, so should your clothes “accidentally” fall to the ground at this convivial music fest – Ireland’s biggest, with bands like Elbow and Bloc Party – expect nothing but admiration (and free Guinness) from the locals.
