Unlock the Ultimate Festival Experience: Essential Gear and Accessories Guide

Along with the music, the joy of dancing until dawn, meeting new people, and new experiences, festivals are all about the promise that you’re going to explore, experiment, and enjoy. But as every festival-goer knows – as every Glastonbury-goer has found out for his or herself – getting to that promised land of festival nirvana is not a simple matter of turning up at the door. Proper preparation is required, especially when it comes to gear. Here’s where to start.

Finding Your Festival Footing: Choose Your Adventure

From bohemian gatherings in the desert, to trance-illycum-techno raves, to electric dance music festivals, where the bass drops blare over tens of thousands of sugared-up attendees, festivals offer diverse terrain, weather, and facilities to explore the extremes of life and art. This guide provides all you need to know for packing your bags so you can concentrate on the crowd, the stage, and the experience – not your checklist.

Must-Have Gear for Any Festival Scenario

Comfortable Footwear – so You Can Keep Dancing Instead of Limping Back to Your Tent

Comfortable footwear is essential to keeping you on your feet at the festival. Opt for comfort and durability to enjoy every beat without any pain.

Stay Hydrated and Happy

The main enemy of any festival-goer is dehydration. Investing in a reusable water bottle or hydration pack helps avoid wasting time at water refill stations.

Power Up: Keeping Your PHONE Charged

Your phone is your lifeline at a festival: it’s the camera you document the good times with, the map you use to get around, and often, your ticket in. Portable chargers or solar-powered solutions are a necessity to keep it alive through the weekend.
