🎒 Pit-Proof Packing: Your Festival Day Bag
Once you're through the gates, your day bag becomes your survival kit. From charging your phone to staying clean and hydrated, what you pack can make or break your Rockville experience. This section covers the festival-approved essentials that’ll kee...
Must follow Rockville's clear bag policy — security will check it. This is the one I have used for the last 2 years and I have never had any issue. It holds up well even with the crowds and stuffing it full of merch on day 1.
Fomaris Clear Stadium Backpack 12x6x12 Black
Because your phone will die faster than a band’s opening set. You will be taking so many pictures, videos and trying to communicate with your friends with little to no service your phone battery will drain quickly.
VRURC 10000mAh Portable Charger w/ Cables
Stay hydrated — Rockville has free refill stations. I personally used this as my reusable water bottle since you can't bring in glass or stainless steel ones.
Vapur Collapsible Water Bottle With Carabiner
I also used this hydration pack. I kept this one inside my backpack with plan water and my water bottle had Liquid IVs in it. Rockville will allow you take an empty hydration pack in but will not let you take in a full backpack hydration pack set up.
KUREIDA 2-3L Hydration Bladder Leak Proof
Florida sun = intense. Protect your skin. I use this for my face throughout the day.
Sun Bum SPF 30 Face Stick Sunscreen 0.45oz
I bring this into the festival and I use this one for the rest of my body. Rockville does not allow aerosol sprays so this works great.
Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Body Lotion 8 oz
I personally use this one for before we leave to go to the venue. I will spray all exposed parts of my body and then use the cream sunscreen inside the venue when I feel like I need to reapply.
Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray
You’ll thank yourself during those afternoon sets.
Surf N Sport Buckley Sunglasses
Great for dusty pits or as quick sun protection. It also will help keep your hair off your neck and out of your face.
S A Company 5-Pack UV Face Shield & Neck Gaiter
Rockville gets LOUD. Save your ears, especially up front.
Eargasm Hi-Fi Earplugs w/ Rainbow Filters
For pre-snack cleanups or post-porta-potty survival.
Purell Naturals Hand Sanitizer Citrus 2oz x6
For pre-snack cleanups or post-porta-potty survival.
DUDE Wipes On-The-Go Flushable Wipes 30ct
A cooling towel is a smart item to bring to Welcome to Rockville because it helps you stay cool in Florida’s intense heat and humidity. It's lightweight, easy to use—just wet, wring, and snap—and provides quick relief from the sun. It also helps prev...
