Summer festivals are happening thick & fast and with the biggest of them all happening this weekend, we\u2019ve pulled together some absolute essentials to survive your weekend away from home.<\/p>\n
Portable Charger<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0A couple of years ago you\u2019d probably just leave your phone at home & dive head first into the music (and the mud), but festivals are the perfect place to grab a sick Instagram or make your friends very jealous on Snapchat. Pack a portable charger so you\u2019re juiced up the entire weekend. Save the set times of the acts you cannot miss to save on buying a ridiculously overpriced program!<\/p>\n Keep your style fresh<\/strong>. It\u2019s more likely than not that you\u2019ll be festival\u2019ing in not so sunny Britain, but it doesn\u2019t mean you need to shed style for practicality. Grab a waterproof jacket and style it up with a graphic hoodie to keep you warm, dry & feeling fine. Grab some sunglasses like these and a SnapBack to hide the effects of the festival while keeping super stylish.<\/p>\n Get a bum bag<\/strong>. \u00a0While you probably heaved your weekend booze and camping gear across fields in huge bags, you wanna keep it low key for any raving you\u2019re doing during the day. They might have been the uncoolest thing ever a few years ago, they\u2019ve jumped into style now & Rae a much better fit for guys who don\u2019t wanna be stuck carrying everything for your group. Even better are ones that sit under your shirt for maximum security and minimum style faux pas!<\/p>\n Snack it up<\/strong>. Festivals seem to have THE best food going; my personal favourite is the giant Yorkshire pudding filled with as much gravy as humanly possible. But for \u00a38 a go it\u2019s not the best for students, so grab some snacks on the way to the festival that are easily stored & will fill that afternoon hangry feeling! Grab some rice cakes, chocolate & breakfast bars to keep your stomach ready for the booze, but juice up in the morning to get a break from the partying… then get right back on it!<\/p>\n Take a mini everything.<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t pack all your expensive toiletries and aftershaves, there\u2019s an almost guarantee that you\u2019ll lose them or they\u2019ll be taken off you at the gate for being made of glass. Grab some of the travel size toiletries like gels, deodorants, toothpaste & wipes to keep your body looking and smelling fresh. Even if there are some showers, I\u2019d try avoiding them – they\u2019re gonna be disgusting even on day 1!<\/p>\n Getting your packing list right is essential, but remember that anything you forget you\u2019ll probably be able to buy at the festival. Just don\u2019t forget the proper important stuff like your ticket or you\u2019ll be Billy no mates on the way back home to get it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer festivals are happening thick & fast and with the biggest of them all happening this weekend, we\u2019ve pulled together some absolute essentials to survive your weekend away from home.
