It's getting to that time of year when weekend music festivals are becoming much more prolific. For all men heading off to a festival, here are a few important things you should remember to take with you when you go. Firstly, it's a really good idea to take a pair of rubber boots with you, as these are ideal for all those muddy festival fields. They'll also help to save your favorite pair of sneakers from almost certain ruin, so are a music festival must-have.
Waterproof clothing is also perfect music festival outerwear. It has many benefits: it cuts down on the number of other clothes you need to take and, as you can just wipe it down with a sponge to clean it, you don't need to worry about it getting dirty. Also, you can never predict the weather, so even if it's predicted to be a gorgeous summer's weekend, it's wise to take something waterproof with you just in case things suddenly turn rainy.
Many people also go to weekend music festivals for the whole experience and stay overnight. If you intend to do this, then you should make sure you take a good tent with you. This will give you a base to go back to and somewhere to store your stuff while you're off watching bands. Something easy to spot and brightly colored is generally a good idea, as searching for your tent in a field full of them can sometimes be a little bit tricky.
Not all festivals allow you to take in food and drink with you because they want to try and encourage you to buy things from their chosen sponsors and providers, but if you check into it and find you are allowed to take food in with you, then this can be a really good idea. Festival food and drink can be expensive and there are often long queues, which eats into valuable band-watching time. Taking your own food means you'll spend less time queuing and less money.
One last thing to take to a weekend music festival is something that relates to your favorite band or artist. Most men go to festivals because there's a particular group they want to see, so dig out your band-related t shirts and hoodies to show your support. Lots of people do this, so it's a good way of identifying fellow fans. It also means you'll have something to talk about with strangers as it'll be easy to identify a shared interest.
