Handy festival items to have! (1–10)
rubber band
When it comes to rubber bands—now a hugely popular artist merch item—you’ll see lots of people stacking tons of rubber bands on their wrists at festivals.
Finding someone who shares your taste through their bands is part of the fun, too.
Backpacks decked out with loads of rubber bands are also a familiar sight.
sunglasses
Speaking of sunglasses, they’re a classic summer item.
At festivals, they’re essential for protecting your eyes from strong UV rays.
If you’re going to wear them, you’ll want a stylish pair that suits you, right? Just be careful not to lose them if you plan on getting wild!
backpack
A backpack—what we commonly call a rucksack.
When you go to a festival, you tend to end up with a lot of stuff, and tote bags or other one-hand carry types aren’t very suitable.
To fully enjoy the performances, a backpack that keeps both hands free is recommended.
You can also decorate it with rubber bands or keychains to show off your originality!
muffler towel
A towel for wiping sweat is a festival essential.
Wearing a towel with your favorite performing artist’s merch around your neck lets you show your support and also protects your neck from sunburn, making it practical.
We recommend a scarf-style towel that’s slightly narrower but longer.
hat
Strong sunlight is a given at outdoor festivals.
Depending on the time of day, the glare can make it hard to see the stage, and getting heatstroke would be serious.
That’s why a hat is essential.
Work caps, baseball caps, and bucket hats are all popular.
If it’s a hat sold as band merch, it might even be a conversation starter among fans.
sneakers
Speaking of festivals, stage diving and circle pits are part of the fun.
But you need to be careful not to cause injuries among the crowd.
For that reason, instead of boots, cushioned sneakers are recommended.
rain poncho
Sudden bad weather is part and parcel of outdoor festivals.
Rain gear is a must.
Rather than a umbrella, it’s best to have a poncho (rain cape) that packs down compactly, can be thrown on quickly in a pinch, and won’t bother the people around you.
