Random 1st Blog Post: How To Survive Warped Tour

This year is going to be my first year at Warped Tour, a festival that happens every year during the summer where nearly a hundred bands and artists come together to play for a day. There were a lot of things that I needed to remember before going, and I had no idea there were so many! From conversation with friends and online research, here are a few things to know before going to Warped Tour if you plan on going too!

Pack Your Bag The Day Before! 

Because you don't want to get to the venue late, it makes sense to pack the night before, that way you aren't scrambling.

Eat Breakfast!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you eat a breakfast with substance. Try to avoid milk.

Have water!

Who knows how hot July 19th (Chicago) will be? Be well hydrated. There are water stations all over the venue that you'll be able to refill. If you buy water, it needs to be sealed to bring it into the venue.

Make food!

Most likely you'll be hungry in between shows, so make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or something along those lines that way you will make it on time to the next show.

Things To Bring! 

• Backpack - to hold all the free stuff you can get while walking around the venue, your water, your snack, shirts, and other things that you may buy.
• Towels -  to wipe away the sweat from all the hardcore moshing you'll be doing.
• A watch - it'll save your phone battery.
• Socks - just in case your socks get wet.
• Sunglasses - it's summer, so it'll be obnoxiously sunny.
• Cash - to buy merch
• A phone charger - even though they may charge you $5 to use it, bring it just in case it's absolutely needed
• Sharpies - you want your favorite band to sign stuff for you, don't you?
• Hair ties
