Bonnaroo Music Festival -Manchester TN

Top Things To an Amazing Festival

1. WATER (works best for when it is hot and you
   don't want to get dehydrated and miss a show
   because you are stuck in the medic tent.)
2. FOOD/SNACKS (depending on how much gear you plan
   to bring, pack accordingly. If you want to go
   all out (I do), stock the coolers full of items
   that take longer to spoil. Cook the stuff that
   needs to stay cold on the first day. They do
   sell ice but it is usually quite a hike back to
   your site. PB & J is always a favorite choice.
   Packaged foods also are great and easy to grab on
   the go. Snacks are a MUST because we all get the
   munchies randomly throughout the day. *You are
   permitted to bring unopened food items/water into
   the venue.
3. BEVERAGES (I will keep this short because we all
   know what types of beverages we enjoy drinking.
   Whether it is alcoholic or not, make sure you are
   not bringing any GLASS containers...they will
   confiscate them at the gate...I repeat, they WILL
   confiscate them. And if I must restate the
   obvious, bring lots of WATER...more than you
   think you will need is a good guess.
4. CAMPING SUPPLIES (I will leave this somewhat
   general and you can judge what you need the most.
   1. A tent (I don't recommend sleeping in a
   screened gazebo thingy in case of rain. Also
   have the tent supplies: tarp, string/bungee
   cords, stakes, a hammer/mallet, air mattress,
   blankets, etc.
   2. Flashlight, sun coverage (a tarp, gazebo
   tent), portable radio, chairs, table
   3. A grill (this is a must...it even provides
   entertainment)
   4. Camera/videocamera (you will want to document
   this event)
   5. Backpack, blanket for inside the venue (this
   works for all of your concert supplies:
   camera, money, smokes, snacks, extra clothes)
   6. Comfortable shoes (something water-proof is
   best. Think galoshes or Crocs. You could end
   up with sunburned feet or muddy ones)
5. THE WATER BOTTLE (I mean like a squirt bottle
   that you would use for watering plants or a
   misting bottle...this has always been a key
   component of a happy Bonnaroo. It may sound
   silly but you will be grateful once it is
   sweltering hot and you need to cool off. *It
   also can make you feel less dingy after not
   showering for 3 days.
