Will it rain? If there’s one little detail you can never be sure enough about, this is it. Taking a raincoat is therefore a clever idea when going to a festival, even in summer. Whereas opening an umbrella in a festival can be quite tricky, putting on a raincoat couldn’t be any easier. |

8. Entrance tickets
Few things are more frustrating than getting to the festival entrance and realising you’ve left your tickets at home. In order to prevent this from happening, put your tickets on your bag or wallet a couple of days before the festival and make sure they stay there. |

9. Water
You may not want to leave the crowd to go buy some water when you’re having fun with your friends. That’s why it’s a good idea to always take a small bottle of water in your bag and keep many big bottles within easy reach to fill it up as needed. |

10. Sunscreen
On the beach or in a festival, sunscreen remains the best product to protect your skin against sunburn. Severe sunburn can even interrupt the festival fun and force you to go back home, so applying some sunscreen all the day long should become no less than a daily festival ritual. |
