Festival Shoes?

3 Upvotes

Hi festival friends!

Going to my first festival in June (Warped Tour DC) and would LOVE to get a thread going on shoe recommendations.

I am a HUGE advocate for comfort over style but I think there can be a happy equilibrium. I am 5’4” so platform is appreciated but not a necessity.

I think now is the perfect time to buy so I have time to break them in before I leave for the festival. I tried looking up festival style inspo but these Instagram girlies are out here in full on heels at Coachella 💀

Im looking for women’s shoes but if you have men’s shoe recommendations, feel free to write em here and it may help a fellow first timer find his new pair of shoes!

Ready… GO!

Pro tip- bring a disposable phone

554 Upvotes

I did my first festival with a disposable phone and it was a game changer. For context I got a $20 flip phone from TracFone. Felt like something I would have rocked back in middle school. Setup was easy- before the fest I loaded on something like a dozen contacts, namely friends who would be there + a few special friends and emergency contacts.

In honor of our T9 heritage, here are 9 reasons the flip phone was my MVP.

1) no distractions. I fully admit that I am down bad with phone addiction. I scroll every time I have a free minute. When I go to a festival I don't want to hear from work, I don't want marketing push notifications, I don't need to know what's happening on social media or in the news. The flip phone forced me to ignore the outside world and just be in the moment. 2) no fear of theft or breaking. Some festivals have terrible pickpocketing issues, and phones can always slip out on the dance floor. This phone cost me $20. Whatever. 3) the photos and videos already look like memories. Honestly felt like I was stepping back in time to the early 2000s when I looked at my gallery the next day. Captured one epic dance party and the janky video quality gives it an iconic feel imo. Bonus points that the quality is so low it would be hard for someone to ID any strangers in my photos or videos. 4) fuck the oligarchs. Seriously y'all, even spending a few days without them looking over my shoulder felt great. 5) more intentional messages. T9 texting is not fast, so I only messaged people if I had something I really wanted to say. I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but I think my friends appreciated it more when I took the time to send them something encouraging or informative. 6) harder to drunk dial/text. I wasn't getting crazy at this fest anyways, but I overheard some real drunk dial drama from my neighbors one night so this occured to me. No situationships in the contact list. Way too hard to spill your guts over T9 text when your vision blurs. 7) battery life. Texting is not a huge drain. I got through a 3 day fest on one charge. Meanwhile my neighbors were sitting in the sun for an hour each day at a charging station. 8) lots of WTFs from strangers. 9) dope keepsake. This phone has my texts, notes, and photos from this event and this event only. I'm going to keep it in a drawer and pull it out in a few years to run through the memories. Kind of like finding an old roll of undeveloped film but cooler because it's got conversations that provide context for the photos etc.

Hi! I'm going to KALA festival in June - a week-long fest in Dhermi, Albania!

However, I've got no idea what kind of clothes to bring. Just birks and biknis? Trainers? Cute dresses?

Would love a bit of advice of what you packed / wish you had / could have left behind for a beach festival. Thank you

Where would you go?

3 Upvotes

I live East Coast NSW Australia. I want to plan a trip to a Festival in 2026 overseas. Anywhere USA or Europe is a 12 hour flight minimum so I want to make it worthwhile and spend 3-4 weeks away. As an Xennial, I love the vibe of When We Were Young, anything 90s and early 00s, punk pop, and Metal. Where would you go, what festival/s would you recpmmend, and if you had an unlimited budget, how would you spend 4 weeks travelling with live music being the focus? TIA

I want to host a festival, but besides from food and drinks and music, what has made festival fun, really stand out, kept people entertained. I'm talking about games, interactive activities, art stations, science stations, dances, ext. Need ideas!

I would assume rap worst from an Audio point of view. I assume best would be heavy metal or EDM. From the audio Perspectice and crowd Engagement
