It’s the time of year when you get to attend amazing music festivals and enjoy your vacations. It is important that we are comfortable and do not get sick or end up with dead cell phones. We all know the necessary items we should take, but there are some essentials that most people forget about. Check out country music bands for hire for amazing live bands. Hopefully, this list of summer music event essentials will help you plan your next music event in a better way.

• A Bandana

A bandana is an essential item in almost any situation in a music festival. Summer festivals can get quite dusty, and you will need a bandana, so you do not get those dust allergies or flu. Other than that, you can use it to dry your hands or face when it is extremely hot, cover the areas that can get sunburned or even tie up your hair. It is a fashion accessory and sunshade all in one.

• Emergency Ponchos

Always carry a few ponchos with you in your backpack. You can use them to sit on the ground if it is muddy and obviously it will be your savior when it rains. You do not want to end up spending extra money on emergency ponchos just because you forgot to bring them. 

• Hats

Who doesn’t love some hats? Hats are not only great fashion accessories, but they can actually save your life out there in the scorching sun. Always bring a hat with you in summer festivals so you can keep your cool out there. Hats will also help in preventing any sunburns. 

• Sunscreen And Allergy Medicine

Take a high SPF lotion that is not an aerosol can because those can be confiscated. Whether you have any allergies or not, do not make the mistake of leaving allergy medicines at home. You do not know what the weather might bring you during the festival and our bodies can react differently to various climate changes.  

• Comfortable Shoes

Many people end up wearing the wrong shoes. Your shoes need to be comfortable, so your feet do not get any blisters. Check out tennis shoes, or better yet, waterproof shoes, so in case of any rain, you will not have to face any inconvenience.

• Mini Flashlight

When your phone’s battery is low, and it is too dark to see, you will definitely need one of these mini flashlights. These flashlights will save you unnecessary inconvenience and hassle. Clip a mini flashlight to your backpack, necklace or belt loop, so you do not have to empty the contents of your whole bag to look for it.

• Battery Charger

Last but not least, you are going to need an external battery pack to keep your phone charged so you can take pictures and make videos. If you are going to a camping festival, something with 20000mAh or more is preferred so it can get you through the whole festival.

These essentials will help you have a good time at music events without facing any discomforts.
