Concert Survival Gear
Everything that keeps you cool, hydrated, and actually enjoying the show. These are the must-haves that help you handle the heat, stay energized, and make it through the entire day without burning out.
This + a cold drink = survival at an outdoor concert
4 Pack Cooling Towels
This is my go-to if I don’t want to carry much—just the basics and I’m good. Most concert venues require the clear bags, so this little one is perfect.
Clear Crossbody Bag for Stadium
If you like to be prepared or you’re going to be out for hours at a festival, this is the one. I love having space for merch and a spot for a water bottle.
Clear Stadium Tote Bag 12x6x12
This is a good middle ground—more space than a crossbody but easier to carry than a tote all day at a music festival.
Clear Checkered Backpack
If your concert has a lawn section, this is a must (when allowed). It’s super lightweight, easy to bring in, and way better than sitting directly on the grass. I always double-check venue rules, but I bring one whenever I can.
Round Beach Tapestry
If you’ve ever left a concert with your ears ringing for hours… you need these. They take the edge off the noise without muffling the music, so you can still hear everything clearly.
Loop Ear Plugs
This one is super popular for a reason—cute, powerful, and perfect for staying cool on hot concert days.
Shark ChillPill 3-in-1 Personal Cooler
A solid go-to if you want something powerful and reliable to help cool down. Perfect for long, hot concerts. Especially in Arizona!
Portable Handheld Fan
Concerts + heat + overpriced drinks = this comes with me every time. Slim, easy to carry, and keeps everything cold way longer. Its an easy way to remember to stay hydrated!
Bottle Buddy 32oz | I Scream 4 Ice Cream
If you’re planning to grab a concert poster, bring a poster tube! Merch booths rarely have them, and it’s way too easy to crease or ruin a poster in a crowd. If you’re spending money on a print—especially foil or signed—this keeps it safe the whole n...
Expandable Artwork Storage Tube
Because Merch Happens! This is one of those things you don’t think you need… until you’re holding a hoodie, a poster, and a drink with no free hands. It folds into a tiny pouch so it’s easy to bring with you, then opens up into a full tote when you n...
Reusable Grocery Bags 6 Pack
If you don’t want to hold a fan all night, this clips onto your bag or waistband so you still get airflow without sacrificing a hand. A little breeze helps you cool off fast.
360° Rotatable Mini Clip-on Fan, 3-Speed, Green
Concert crowds + holding your phone all night = a risky combo. This keeps your phone attached so you don’t drop it (or lose it in a crowd).
Cell Phone Wrist Lanyard for Women - Purple Blue
Between videos, photos, and trying to find your people, your phone battery doesn’t stand a chance. This is a must-have every time I'm at a festival.
Portable Charger with Built in Cables
Personal Care & Stay-Fresh Essentials
All the little things that keep you feeling clean, comfortable, and put together all day long — even in heat, crowds, and long lines. Think sun protection, hydration, and quick fixes to keep you feeling your best.
Water is great, but electrolytes hit different—especially for outdoor shows in the heat. Easy to throw in your bag and makes a big difference. Plan to stay hydrated at those all day shows!
Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier - Popsicle Firecracker
Cute and practical. These are perfect for keeping your hair under control in the heat, windy outdoor shows, or just adding a fun vibe to your festival outfit.
Satin andana Silk Hair Wrap Neck Scarf
When it’s hot and packed shoulder-to-shoulder, getting your hair up instantly makes everything more comfortable.
Goody Nonslip Black Elastic Hair Tie 10ct
Dry air + heat + singing your lungs out = you’ll be glad you packed this.
Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick
Concert bathrooms… enough said
8 Pack Hand Sanitizer Spray
Night temps can cool off fast—this saves you from freezing after the show ends.
CHYRII Womens Button Down Plaid Flannel Shirt
Trust me on this—reapply. You’ll be out there longer than you think, and the sun does not care that you’re trying to have a good time.
Supergoop! PLAY SPF 50 Antioxidant Mist
Great for outdoor shows and festivals — these help you freshen up without needing a bathroom or carrying a full deodorant.
