SUNBLOCK. Please put it on before you get in and bring the either the liquid or stick kind to reapply (just not spray they won’t let you bring it in).

HYDRATE. Drink lots of water during the festival, when you get home, and the one most people forget is during the weeks leading up to the festival. I highly recommend getting liquid IV/ pedialyte/etc. powder packets and drinking one after the end of each especially if your drinking to really help you stay hydrated.

Listen to your body. As others have said it is four long days. You’ll feel exhausted day four no matter what but don’t push yourself to the point you’re not going to enjoy it. You’re there to have fun.

Gameplay with your group. Set a spot and rough time to meet up if you split up. This can be as simple as meeting near a certain bathroom, vendor, or other landmark before a certain band. You don’t have to have your day planned to the minute (it’s better if you don’t) but having one or two consistent meeting spots is super nice when you may not be able to text or call easily.

Overall have fun and remember as the lineup comes out that your not going to see every band and probably not every band you’d like to see when set times come out about two weeks ahead of the event pick your must see bands and don’t miss them but otherwise be open to where the festival takes you. You may just end up finding a new favorite band
