If you're heading to a music festival this summer, it's important to stay safe while still having a good time. After all, you don't want to be the one who ruins the party by getting injured, arrested, or worse. Here are some tips for staying safe at music festivals, without killing the vibe:
-
Stay hydrated, but not too hydrated: It's important to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated in the sun, but be careful not to overdo it. You don't want to be the one who spends the entire festival waiting in line for the bathroom.
-
Sunscreen is your friend: Nobody wants to look like a lobster by the end of the day, so make sure to apply sunscreen liberally. But be warned: applying sunscreen to your entire body can be a slippery slope. Before you know it, you'll be covered in glitter and wearing a unicorn onesie.
-
Don't forget your phone charger: Your phone is your lifeline at a festival, so make sure to bring a portable charger to keep it juiced up. But be careful not to lose it in the crowds - or worse, mistake someone else's phone for your own. Awkward!
-
Be aware of your surroundings: Music festivals can be a great place to let loose and have fun, but it's important to stay aware of your surroundings. Keep an eye out for dodgey characters and avoid dark areas - unless, of course, you're looking for a secret afterparty!
-
Pace yourself: Finally, it's important to pace yourself when it comes to drinking, dancing, and partying in general. You don't want to be the one who peaks too soon and spends the rest of the festival passed out in a field. Trust us, we speak from experience.
