Turn Up the Vibes: Own This Festival Season

Festival season is packed, fast-paced, and overflowing with epic lineups. If you’re chasing the music across multiple festivals, here’s how to stay ahead and never miss a beat:

✅  1. Make a Master List of Artists

Start by listing all your must-see artists. Then, cross-check who’s playing at which festivals. This helps you plan which festivals to prioritize — and where you might catch the same artist twice (bonus set!).

🎟️  2. Lock in Tickets Early

Once you’ve mapped out your top festivals, book your tickets (and accommodation!) ASAP. Early bird passes save money — and some shows sell out fast.

⏰  3. Study Set Times in Advance

As soon as schedules drop:

  • Screenshot or print them

  • Highlight overlapping sets

  • Build your own timetable so you know exactly where to be and when

Apps like Timeboard, Radiate, or official festival apps let you create a custom lineup and get alerts.

📍  4. Know the Layout

Big festivals = long walks. Familiarize yourself with the venue map so you can plan stage-hopping without missing transitions.

👊🏽  5. Coordinate with Your Crew

Agree on key meet-up points, especially if someone wants to break off to see different acts. Clear comms = no FOMO.

🎒  6. Pack Like a Pro

Charge your devices, download maps & schedules offline, and prep a festival bag with:

  • Water bottle

  • Power bank

  • Snacks

  • Earplugs

  • Sun protection

✨  7. Be Open to Discovery

Leave a few time slots unplanned. Some of your future favorite artists are waiting to be discovered on the smaller stages.

🔥  Final Tip:

When in doubt — go with the vibe, not the hype. If a set is calling you, follow the music. That’s where the magic happens.
