The festival survival guide
Whether you are a seasoned festivalgoer or if this is your first time attending such a music spectacle, being well prepared is essential for a having a great time. Here's a list of crucial items and tips to ensure your festival experience will be unforgettable.
1. Be prepared for the weather
Extra tarpaulin
Is it a multiple day’s festival and will you be camping at the festival site? The weather can be treacherous and turn quickly. Carry some extra tarpaulins to keep your tent dry in case of rain. Also handy as a shade cloth in bright sunshine!
Sunscreen and sunglasses
There is nothing better than good weather during the festival! Sunscreen and sunglasses are both indispensable on sun-drenched days.
Rainwear
Even with a nice weather forecast, unexpected showers can surprise you. Bring your rain gear and stay nice and dry.
Mini fan
On hot days, a mini fan can provide some cooling. It is a small but effective remedy against the heat.
2. Do not forget…
Hip bag
A hip or waist bag is super handy for essentials like your phone, wallet and sunscreen. You have your hands free, while carrying your stuff safely with you.
Phone charger and power bank
Your phone is vital for keeping in touch with friends and taking photos and you don’t want to be left with an empty battery! Therefore, don't forget to bring your charger and a fully charged power bank.
Personal hygiene
Hygiene is not usually a top priority at a festival, but a few extra items will make you look a lot fresher. Dry shampoo, hand gel (in case you run out of hand soap at the toilets) and baby wipes are handy for a quick freshen-up.
Hearing protection
Protect your ears to safely enjoy the music at the festival. So don't forget your earplugs! If you want the best music quality, choose earplugs with a special music filter.
3. Sleep comfortably
Go for a sleeping mat!
A good sleeping bag and a nice mat are key for a good night's sleep while camping. An air mattress is also possible, but it is heavier and takes up more space.
Earplugs and eye mask
Earplugs are a must, not only on the festival site, but also at the campsite.

ENJOY!
