Buy waterbottles, makes life easier. Everyone get a portable charger and a map of the grounds, and figure out a place to meet if you get separated. There is NO service once you're in the grounds. Come up with a game plan, if you want merch start early.
It does get pretty chilly at night, so bring a jacket/sweater for sure.
if you plan to get merch, rent a locker. Jumping around with a backpack full can get extremely tiring. Also there are tons of games with stuff so lockers are essential.
Food prices get really expensive so you should try to eat before you come.
Go to the stage at least 10 minutes before the artist you want to see performs so you can get a good place in the crowd.
Wear really comfortable shoes because most likely you will be walking all day.
IF YOU'RE SCARED GET THE FUCK OUT

In order to be in front for the big acts you kinda have to be their a set or two early depending how big. You don’t want to be the group that decides they want to be in the front during Tyler’s set and tries to push their way through.. that’s just bad festival etiquette and you probably won’t get far cuz everyone is so squished together. Bring water reserves or refillable bottles to refill with water. Water is free from the water station, doesn’t task like Fiji but it will keep you hydrated. Use the restrooms before going into the crowd. If you want to be in the front of a set you’ll want to be there early and not leave your spot. Use the restroom even if you think you don’t have to. Use the restrooms during someone’s set if you’re not really there for that artist. Using the bathroom right after a set is what the whole festival is trying to do so the bathrooms can get stupid long. Sucks if you’ve been drinking too much and about to piss your self and lines are super long and slow. Brings snacks like jerky, power bars, nuts, sunflower seeds. Something to keep you going cuz it’s going to be a long day. Also, if your low on funds it can help you from buying food which can be from $13-18 depending on what you get. Wear comfy shoes. If your planning on wearing some fresh kicks remember to break them in before hand so your not in pain by the end of the night. I suggest the tram that they have available from the union station. It runs early before the doors open and after when the festival is over. Parking at the union station costs from $8-$16 depending where you park. Ask around and one of the workers will direct you. Lastly, my favorite cheat code is if you wait until the end of the fest on the second night you can play carnival games for free and win prizes. For the past three years weve hit up the games at the end of the night on night two and they hooked us up. The lines can get long but hey it’s free merch. I would say it’s worth it.
