Essentials
Every festival and concert these days requires a clear bag so grab a good one for all your festival must haves. I stuff mine full, so be sure to get a good size that fits what you need.
Transparent Backpack
You can't have a dead phone at music festivals so definitely bring a portable charger, or two! Just make sure they're charged up before you leave.
2-Pack Dual USB-C Fast Charging Power Bank
Don't forget the sunscreen! This is my favorite face sunscreen once I have makeup on and bonus, it's a setting spray.
e.l.f. SKIN All Set For Sun SPF 45 Spray
Loop earplugs have become a huge essential for me in the last couple years. They reduce loud noise, but still allow you to hear conversations around you.
Loop Engage 2 Ear Plugs – 16 dB Noise Relief
The bathroom situation at Music Festivals goes down hill quickly so carrying a pack of tissues or toilet paper is essential. Grab these, or just pack some from home.
3-Ply Ultra Care Pocket Tissues, Travel Size
A collapsable water bottle is super helpful and more convenient than a standard water bottle. Outside Lands allows reausable water bottles, but some other festivals and venues might not, so always check their policies.
Collapsible 26oz Silicone Water Bottle
Pick pocketing can happen anywhere, but especially at music festivals. I like to have my phone on me at all times and like to use wrist straps or lanyard type phone accessories or cases.
2 Pack Gold Phone Lanyard Neck & Wrist Strap
Even though Outside Lands is known for being cold, it can also heat up in the sun with the huge crowds so I love having a few hand fans on me. Also, these make great dancing accessories!
8.3 Inch Multicolored Paper Folding Fans
A compact blanket is a great bonus to have to sit on in between sets, or while you're eating. It's also great if you get cold and want to wrap up.

Fun items to elevate your experience
Everything I'm adding in this section aren't essentials, but they will certainly elevate your experience.
These are so fun, I have been using this same pack for 3 years. I bust these out not only for festivals, but for friends birthdays or fun beach days.

Bubbles aren't just for kids. I love bringing a pack of these a day and handing them out when I'm walking through a crowd or when I see someones outfit I really love.
Leetous Mini Bubble Wands 80 Pack Bulk
Spice up your festival fit with a different color wig! I think a festival is the perfect time to try out a wig or hair extensions.
Pink Short Bob Wig Straight Flat Bangs 14"
You'll be walking a ton so carrying a good pair of insoles with you is always a good idea!

I use these sunglasses all the time, but the fun colors like the pink and blue are perfect festival vibes.

Another fun hair option is a pony tail extension. I wore this one to Coachella and it stayed on all day with no issue.

Face gems are always so fun to wear and elevate any festival look with minimal effort.

I used these to make a disco ball hat and I was obsessed with it!
