Handy festival items to have! (1–10)
binoculars

At festivals, the stage is often far from the audience, and from the back it’s almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
You can of course watch the footage on the monitors, but if you want to take a good look at your favorite member, I recommend bringing binoculars.
They’re a staple for sports games, but they’re just as useful at festivals.
wristband
Rubber wristbands are more popular these days, but terry cloth wristbands are also a classic type of artist merchandise.
Wristbands with the band’s name can be used to quickly wipe sweat from your forehead or neck, making them a great item for outdoor festivals where you’re likely to sweat.

rain boots
Choosing the right shoes is a big key to enjoying summer music festivals.
At outdoor festivals, ground conditions vary depending on the location and weather.
If the weather isn’t great, rain boots are especially recommended.
At mountain festivals like Fuji Rock, you’ll see many people wearing rain boots from the start.
