Dear festival friends, we all know what to go from festival It is much more than having a great time, having a drink or two, listening to our groups favs and meeting new people is an annual tradition that we miss. After enjoying it to the full at Primavera Sound or the Festival de les Arts, we still have the celebration of Arenal Sound or the FIB ahead of us (to give several examples) and our desire is maximum.
We have already talked about Bershka garments to rock at a festival, such as a crochet top or a mythical shorts cowboy, or flat platform sandals that promise infinite comfort, today we go one step further.
This is our list of “things” (or gadgets, whatever) that save our lives at any time and that we recommend that you include in your festival bag.
Sun cream (better, in mini format and high protection)
Festivals that start after eating, or that last all day, can be dangerous for our skin. For this reason, it is always advisable apply a good layer of sunscreen at home and renew it every hour. To avoid carrying a large pot, it is best to opt for the mini formats. Here we leave you an updated list of sun creams recommended by the OCU.

hydroalcoholic gel
In the wake of the pandemic, there is no lack of hand sanitizer in our bag, but we must not leave it in the hotel to go to the festival. In the end, we will be in contact with many unknown people and with many surfaces, so constant hand washing is key. If we do not have the opportunity to go to a bathroom, a pass of disinfectant gel will not hurt.

Kleenex or baby wipes
It doesn’t fail: toilet paper at a festival is something like water in the desert, scarce. If you want to avoid surprises in the polyclean, Do not miss in your fanny pack a pack of tissues or wet wipes (like the baby ones of a lifetime).
A cap, bucket hat or hat
Protecting your head is key when the sun is stinging, there are crowds of people and the heat is pressing. Even if they don’t achieve the miracle, opting for a cap or a hat (whatever style it is, but that covers well) can save you from some scare. Think about the material, make it as waterproof as possible, and if it is a light tone, better than better.
A power bank
That our mobile phone survives more than 12 hours of festival is a miracle. Especially when you consider that it goes “crazy” looking for cover and we take about a thousand photos every second. so that our phone don’t die in the second concertit never hurts to carry one power bank (that does not weigh a lot), with which to ensure a full load. Xataka experts recommend these external batteries.

a portable fan
Friends, we are in the middle of June and we are victims of the first heat wave, so everything indicates that this summer will be a constant oven, so it’s time to equip ourselves.
It may sound crazy to you, but a portable fan (the kind that fits in an XXL fanny pack or a backpack), can help us not to be attended to in the middle of any Show by the health team. Remember: it is important to hydrate with water, eat well and wear a hat that covers us well from the sun.

A fan
We could add it to the list of accessories for a festival (such as sunglasses or a bucket hat), but a fan is not only brutal in a lookalso it “cools” us a bit if the temperatures are too high.

A bottle of water
This is a somewhat complex point, because depending on the festival, they allow or not allow bottles of any type to enter (canteen format or plastic bottle, among others). Here We advise you to read the conditions of the festival where are you going to go And if they let bottles in, take a full bottle of water with you. The next point will also be of interest to you.
A universal bottle stopper
Let’s see, here we are going to cheat a bit, but we can afford it. In general, festivals allow food, but not corked water bottles or cans. Also, when they serve you at the bars, they usually remove the caps and offer the liquid in plastic (or cardboard) cups.
If you want, you can take a pair of universal plugs with you (well hidden, that’s up to you) so that the contents of your bottle do not spill inside the enclosurewhether you take it from home or buy it inside.

A pack of plasters
First, an important note, it is zero recommendable to wear brand new shoes at a festival, but sometimes temptation wins the game. Whether you are going to wear those sandals for the first time (which you had very well known, of course) as if you bet on your sneakers more comfortable, remember to take band-aids with you, you never know when you will need them.
an energy bar
Just as water is vital, so is eating right. At most festivals there food trucks to satisfy the stomach at any time, but if you get a strong low and you need a plus quick while you get to the picnic area, an energy bar is the hand of a saint. Tip: if you are going to be there for many hours, take more than one with you.
A plastic bag
Perhaps you have been blown away by this advice, but we assure you that it is the best on this list. Yes, a plastic bag is the perfect wild card for a long day. Think: you can put everything in it (even wet clothes if it rains)and it doesn’t weigh down or take up space in your fanny pack.
if you are more proyou can choose a tote bagbut it still gets too wrinkled or you even lose it with so much hustle and bustle, it’s not worth it.
