We got your back to make sure you know the top tips that will ensure you have the best time at Coachella or any other festival you may be attending!
This post is all about the must-know Coachella tips!
1. Bring a hydration pack
Coachella takes place in the desert, so staying hydrated is crucial. Instead of constantly buying water bottles, bring a hydration pack or a refillable water bottle that you can fill up at water stations throughout the festival grounds.
2. Bring a bandana or face mask
Coachella is notorious for being dusty, and wearing a bandana or face mask can help protect your lungs from inhaling the dust. It can also double as a fashion accessory!
3. Wear comfortable shoes
You’ll be walking around the festival grounds for hours, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Sneakers or closed-toe sandals are a good choice.
4. Plan your schedule in advance
With so many acts performing at Coachella, it can be overwhelming to decide which ones to see. Take some time before the festival to plan out which acts you want to see and at what times.
5. Bring cash
While many vendors accept credit cards, some only accept cash. It’s always a good idea to bring some cash with you so that you don’t miss out on any festival goodies.
6. Pack sunscreen and sunglasses
The sun in the desert can be intense, so be sure to pack sunscreen and sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes.
7. Get to the festival early
The earlier you arrive at the festival, the better chance you have of finding a good spot to watch your favorite acts. Plus, you’ll have more time to explore the festival grounds and check out all the cool art installations.
