What you can do
- The sun can play spoilsport with your plans if you don’t slather it on. So make sure you use loads of it to stay safe from the harmful UV rays of the sun which can damage your skin.
- Always carry a reusable water bottle in hand. Festivals are known to sell extravagantly priced water bottles. Since there is a huge crowd, there will surely be a water dispenser. So do the environment a favour, and bring your own reusable bottle to stay hydrated no matter what.
- In case of a washroom emergency, you must remember that public bathrooms are very filthy and have long queues. So, make sure you grab that bottle of sanitizer and bag of wet wipes to keep germs at bay.
- A music festival will subject you to hours of standing and sitting which is bound to give you bodily discomfort. So always prioritize comfort over style. People normally tend to wear fancy clothing with glitter and accessories. But it is a big no-no if you wish to enjoy your time. Wear something which will give your body movement and a flow of air.
- It is 2020 after all, so most of the music festivals will have mobile charging stations but it is always advisable to carry a portable charger with you. All that you need to do is to ensure that you don’t run out of juice before you can enjoy your festival.
Keep all these tidbits in mind before you head to your biggest Australian music festiv! However, do ensure that you stay safe!
