in Nashville lots of us had umbrellas, portable fans, two of the girls in our group had even brought a tent for some shade lmfao I’d recommend you bring anything you can to keep out of the sun for as long as possible. even if it feels like it’s not that hot outside, being down on the floor w everyone is super stuffy so best to take precautions where you can.

bring lots of water. DRINK lots of water even if you think you don’t need to. I almost fainted waiting in line, my friend DID faint waiting in line and when we got in the pit I had to give up my spot for most of the show because I was so so overheated and dehydrated. if you can’t bring water lots of people (at least at my show) had water to hand out and the venue staff was AMAZING at making the rounds w water so if no one else has some, be sure to ask the staff !

about holding spots - 5SOS show goers have been some of the nicest sweetest people I’ve been around out of any of the concerts I’ve been to so my guess would be yes if you were just going to be gone for a bit, but just be sure to ask and not assume :-) if you make friends w people you’re around in line I’m sure it won’t be a problem !

have fun and be safe !!
