As with any multiple-day music extravaganza, Coachella is something you need to seriously prepare for. Even if you are only going for one day, you can never be too prepared, especially since the whole event takes place in a desert (which means bring a lot of water). I’m sure that you have, by now, spent plenty of time figuring out what you will wear to Coachella. However, there are a few essentials you can’t forget. Here’s a checklist to make sure your weekend is the best it can be:
- Small backpack
- Your wristband and shuttle pass
- Money (I suggest around $50 a day or more)
- Chapstick
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen (skin cancer will clash with your fabulous Coachella get-up, I promise)
- Reusable water bottle (cannot stress the water thing enough. Dehydration is NOT pretty)
- Light jacket (it can get pretty cold at night)
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Meeting place (cell phones don’t always work so have this planned).
With all these necessities, your experience should be ten times more comfortable and enjoyable. So to all of you lucky folks going to Coachella, have an amazing time!
