Seven Things People Need for an Outdoor Concert

by share

Sunscreen: Sunburn is not cute and it can ruin your fun in the sun at the concert. Sunscreen can prevent the sun from ruining your good time and giving you  an ugly sunburn.

Bug spray: When at an outdoor concert, it is good to know that bugs also live outside. Without spray to deter bugs, you could end up with a bunch of annoying, itchy bites on your legs, arms, etc.

Sunglasses: Squinting is not fun. Bring a fashionable pair of shades to block the sun from your eyes and to add some style to your outfit.

Hat: Hats like sun hats and bucket hats are a good way to protect your hair from the humidity and look cute without having to try too hard.

Comfortable clothes: Keep in mind that the concert is outside. If you’re at a park and your seats are in the grass,  then a dress may not be ideal.  I suggest a pair of jean shorts and a stylish T-shirt.

Portable fan: It gets hot outside and a fan is a quick way to cool you down. In addition to regular portable fans, there are also portable mist fans that blow a mist of water in your face and give an extra refreshing feel.

Water (if permitted): Some venues do not allow outside drinks, but if it is allowed, take advantage and bring a full reusable bottle of water. If you don’t, you will regret it.
