It has begun, with the aftermath of major festivals like Ultra and Coachella only one thing is certain. It is finally festival season. All around the world we will begin to see music festivals take place basically every month. If you’re attending any of the huge star-studded events this summer like Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, or Hard Summer then you’ve come to right place. First-timers always have questions and concerns about what will probably be one of the best weekends of their life. Here at TrapStyle we’re giving you some awesome tips on how to be safe, and to get the most out of your experience! Let’s begin.

Health Tips:

Take an empty water bottle. Most festivals are now picking up on the trend of free water stations.

Camelbak’s are the new and efficient approach to staying hydrated without having to carry a bottle or leave the crowd.

Take earplugs. (Festival speakers can play music starting at 90db all the way up to 120db. You wanna be able to hear the music at festivals in a couple of years, right?) Protect your ears.

Wear comfortable shoes. You are not going to a nightclub. You are going to a festival where you will be walking back and forth between stages all day long.

Bring sunscreen and spare yourself from all the UV madness. No one wants tank top tan lines.

Hand sanitizer will spare you from all the festival grossness. Bring some for sure

Safety Tips:

Set a designated meeting spot with your friends. If someone gets separated, a last resort meeting spot will be the best idea you guys planned for the festivities.

Screenshot your contact info and set it as your screensaver in case you lose your phone.

Tie your keys to yourself using a carabiner or key clip to ensure you will not lose your keys. There is no shittier feeling than getting to your car after the festival only to find you lost your car keys.

Time stamp all text messages. It would suck for your friend to get the “I’m Here” text message 30 minutes AFTER you actually sent it and not even know it.

Do not try to use your phones internet at the fest cause it will severely drain your battery considering there is thousands of people trying to do the same thing with little to no service.

Convenient Tips:

Get to the venue early, or get there late. There is no in between. No one gets there early because you wanna get there at “a good time” but so do half of the attendees.

Save a few bucks and sign up for promoter newsletters. They usually send out news blasts with promos for early birds or flash sales and ticket deals.

Buy your tickets EARLY. The more you wait, the more you pay.

Totems help you easily locate friends but can also be a burden to carry and everyone else around you. Your call.

Bring a portable charger. When you are standing in the cold after the festival with only 2% you will thank yourself.

Don’t wanna deal with as many concert go-ers and long porta-potty lines? Get a VIP ticket. This means expedited entry to the festival, Wi-Fi(at some festivals), exclusive bathrooms, lounges, bars, and probably some nice couches too.

Our last tip would be to please be respectful and kind to everyone you meet or cross paths with.

We really hope these tips help and give you insight on what to expect from your amazing time at said festival. At the end of the day you are all there to have fun and enjoy some amazing music, let’s keep it that way.
