Whether it’s a one-night event or an all-week deal, here’s what guests will probably need when attending their favorite music festivals.
A hotel might offer maximum comfort but the excitement of a music festival lies in its camp. This is one reason why some of the largest camps are usually seen in Music festivals. In camps, guests get to see the view of sunrise and sunset and also witness all the live action of the event from the testing of the microphones to the dismantling of the stage on the last day.
Camping at the event venue, however, comes at a cost because music festivals do not only include good music and nice camping space but may also include merciless sunshine, drenching rainfall, and chilling temperatures. Dust, dirt, and sweat also include the list of things that guests sometimes have to put up with. To stay healthy and enjoy the festival to its fullest, these types of equipment should be included in your Music Festival checklist.
10 Cash For Transactions
While it might seem obvious, it is important to note the importance of cash in certain environments. Not all places accept credit cards and it is in such a situation that cash at hand becomes prestigious.
- Tip 1: To minimize the amount of cash at hand, make payments for tickets and other important requirements with a credit card before arriving at the music festival venue. If possible, bring all the needed cash to avoid using ATMs at the venue.
- Tip 2: Fanny packs offer a good way to keep cash safe and with you at all times.
9 Mobile Phones For Communication and Pictures
Even though few people may forget their closest gadget, a reminder is necessary to make sure this never happens. Music festival venues are usually packed with people and this means that friends and family members can easily lose track of one another. A Mobile phone is important in this case for effective communication and staying together. Taking pictures, recording videos, getting weather alerts, reading the news, and putting a call to 911 are reasons why a mobile phone is a must for every music festival.
- Tip: Many festivals provide electricity for guests and a charger will come in handy in case your device needs some extra juice.
8 Sunglasses, Hats Or Caps
Venues for the music festivals are located in open fields and this leaves people directly exposed to the rays of sunlight which can be dangerous to the eyes or skin. In order to stay immune to direct sunlight rays (Which is inevitable during summer music festivals), sunglasses and hats are essential.
7 Shoes For Feet Protection And The Long-Standing Hours
Comfortable Shoes with tough soles are important to keep the feet safe during the music festival. Sometimes, the footwear can also serve the extra purpose of a hike or other outdoor activities. Scandals and flip-flops also make important additions to the footwear collection and they come in handy when the feet crave some freedom.
6 Mask, handkerchief and bandana
To prevent skin irritation as a result of sweat, a handkerchief is crucial and this is pretty obvious since guests will no doubt get sweaty. When dancing also gets intense, harmful dust particles fill the air hence a face mask or bandana will serve the purpose of an air filter so your lungs do not get soiled with dirt.
5 Clothing For The Weather
Knowledge of the current season is the first step to selecting clothes for a music festival. In winter; coats, stockings, and gloves are necessary while lighter wears such as sleeveless are perfect for summer music festivals (which are more common). Weather changes are also frequent during summer; therefore, guests should also include rainwear, headscarf, and umbrellas to their summer music festival equipment lists.
- Tips: During the rainy periods, clothes that dry up easily will help you adjust quickly in case of sudden rainy weather.
4 Tent For Shelter
Larger tents offer more space but guests have to check their space limits before setting up large tents. Although, options are available for guests who wish to have more space for their tents. This rule also applies to RV owners but that is a less important thing to worry about since few music festivals allow RVs.
- Tip1: Flags can be placed on top tents to differentiate them from each other and help guests easily spot their tent from long distances
- Tip 2: Tent set-up tools such as hammers and little knives will be of great help when it comes to setting up a tent.
3 Blankets, Pillows, And Mattresses
Good and comfortable sleep is crucial to having a good experience at the main events of a music festival. While the mattress offers a soft landing for the body; the blanket offers warmth and the pillow keeps the head resting on a soft spot away from the hardness of the earth.
- Tip: Air Mattresses works best as it can be inflated, deflated, and carried around easily.
2 A Water Bottle And Non-Perishable Food
Water bottles can be used to collect water from taps or clean water sources and help save money as packaged water can get expensive at music festival grounds. In order to keep strength up, food is necessary and in this case, non-perishable food works best since fresh food may not stay in good shape for long.
- Tip: Food trucks are available at campgrounds in case you need extra food.
1 Other Checklist Items
The items never seem to be enough because it always feels like something is missing and sometimes, something can indeed be missing even after careful packing. Include this equipment to make sure you don’t have to worry about a thing.
- Toothbrush and Toothpaste
- Flashlights
- Toiletries
- Towel
- Your ID Card
- Trash Bags
- Earplugs
