We have a lot to unpack. As festival season takes off in cities across the country, we’re left with mixed emotions. Along with all the memories made and to come, festival newbies might be recounting the lessons learned so far (those heeled boots are seriously not worth the pain). Venue veterans, on the other hand, are likely relishing in the tips and tricks they’ve picked up along the way. Regardless of your experience, a multi-day music festival is no small feat. Thankfully, there are some ways to make it easier – and it starts with what’s in your suitcase.
What you bring to a festival can make a big difference in your overall experience. Maybe you remembered a back-up outfit, but left the SPF at home. Or perhaps you ditched your comfortable heel protectors to make room for another bedazzled cowboy hat. Whatever the case may be, we know that packing for a festival is a learned skill . . . so we asked our resident Therapuss, Jake Shane, to give us a quick masterclass.
Ahead, Shane unpacks his own festival season essentials, including content creation must haves, a few favorite brands, and several surprisingly practical product recs. Read on to see everything Shane packed for Breakaway Music Festival and a surprise pop-up on Celsius’s Essential Vibes Tour.
