MUSIC We hear you.

MUSIC FESTIVAL SURVIVAL GUIDE We’ve each had our fair share of music festivals, so for the rest of 2018, whatever music festival you have coming up, here’s a list of the essentials that you’ll need. You can thank us later. 1.

WATER. Dancing outside in the cold, in the sun, either way, you’re gonna get sweaty. I don’t know how many times I’ve been to a show and my leg started cramping because I’m dehydrated and all of the jumping in the mosh pit. It also comes in handy when you have dirt on your face.

2. SOCKS. Love yourself and don’t wear sandals. You can even keep your cash, a blunt, a JUUL, whatever you like, in your socks. 3. PORTABLE CHARGER. Keep a fanny pack with you to hold onto it, honestly it’s more handy than you think. When your favorite artist is the last set and you have 5% battery left, you’ll be extremely glad you brought it with you. 4. FOOD. You can’t usually bring food, but either way, eat. With everything going on and back to back shows, find at least half an hour where you can get something in your stomach. You’ll forget to eat because of the adrenaline, and its best to enjoy your festivities without being hungry. 5. MARK YOUR LOCATION. If you didn’t get an Uber or Lyft, mark your location of where you parked just in case you forget. You might even be at the venue for 12 hours, and remembering where your car is is unlikely. Use Apple Maps to mark your location. Have fun and stay safe!
