The Ultimate Festival Packing List
Coachella kicks off today in Indio, California and if I say I'm not jealous of every attendee, well I'd be lying. With a stellar line up, A-class festival fashion and 2 fun weekends in the sun, I'm definitely not alone in my envy.
However, with so many festivals happening over the coming months, we shouldn't be too jealous. If you're off for a weekend (or week in some cases) of music filled fun, then I've devised the perfect list you'll need to ensure you've packed all the essentials. There's nothing worse than being unprepared and stuck in the mud. Literally.
Please bear in mind that this list will not suit everybody, especially you picky bods, and some are more gender specific, but only you know your absolute essentials. We just want to help you on your way.
Click the links below for my reasons why these items are essential!
DON'T TAKE TOO MUCH
One thing to really think about when sorting out your gear is that you have to physically carry everything with you, over dirty, hilly, muddy grounds, to your campsite. If you can't carry it then don't take it!
DON'T BRING THAT!
If you don't want to lose it then don't bring it. Losing stuff is a bind at the best of times, but when you're on a campsite with thousands of people then the chances of finding what you lost is like finding a needle in a haystack. You're much better off with a disposable camera, or an old compact, and an old phone that won't be too heartbreaking if it gets trodden into the mud.
There are also restricted items at each festival so definitely check out the list on their website, they all provide the do's and don'ts.
WHO ARE YOU?
Most festivals operate age restriction and regulations for various things. Take your ID so you aren't refused anything you're old enough to have. No one likes being the sober one because they thought they looked old enough to be served without ID.
HAPPY CAMPERS
♫ Tent
♫ Sleeping bag
♫ Cooking stove, utensils & food
♫ Spare tent pegs
♫ Blankets
IT'S OKAY TO BE THE PRACTICAL ONE
I can't pack your bag for you but here are a few things to consider;
