And a mobile charger. Keep that dust mask in your bag. Winds can pop up anytime.

Yup - wear your bandana everywhere (even if you think you’re good - you’re not!)

Don’t forget Flonase & Allegra or some type of allergy med

Steroid inhaler in the morning & evening

Great tip on the proactive use! Fortunately I rarely need to use it but for events I always bring it just in case. The dust is my biggest concern if I’m being honest

Advil > Tylenol other than that pretty solid .. if you want to go crazy add a mini deodorant stick

Yes and if you have a severe attack the medic tent may be able to provide a nebulizer treatment

Omg I’m so thankful for whoever fanned me down while feeling really short of breath during Muni Longs set. He was fanning his girlfriend down and I’m like “ omg can u please do me next I don’t feel well” and they obliged. I pulled my inhaler out and their eyes got big as I was saying “ I was hustling to make it to this set early to post up and I think I overdid it” - they comforted me. It was really nice. Reminds me why I love our Coachella community so much. We always got each others’ backs. ❤️❤️❤️

it ain’t easy being wheezy. almost fucking suffocated saturday night lol. got back to my tent after day 2 and was like man i don’t feel good but idk why cause im sober and hydrated and… oh. puff inhaler ohhhhhh

Ahhhhh! I actually packed it and forgot to put it in my festival bag. Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you.

Life saver.. thank you.. sharing with my group

depends if you want to take pics and boast for the gram wear whatever you want take pics early , once you got the pics you want , switch clothings to what you would wear on a 3 day mission during WW2. Something light/heavy,comfortable,warm/cool. Basically something that will protect you from ALL the elements. Some sort of mask to prevent the most dust / sand getting in your lungs

Anything comfortable for the day cause it’s hot and prepare for it drop 30-40 degrees at night with high winds

Sleeveless death metal and tie dye shirts with cargo shorts. I'm a bit of an influencer.

Cut off army shorts, vest with no top under, and crocs with socks.

i usually go for trendy, practical, and comfy. shoes are important, i wear platform docs that are really broken in. i stick to clothes that are light but can be layered (linen pants, linen shirt, silk, crochet, denim shorts, if dresses/skirt i put like bike shorts under). i also like long socks i can scrunch up during the day and pull up to cover my legs by night since it gets colder if my legs r exposed. bandanas. scarfs for night time. camelbak. sunglasses. hat/visor. mask. last year i got a coachella blanket i wrapped around myself!! it gets windy at night. also helpful to have a locker to store different night time stuff, put away daytime stuff.

edit: grammar

Lot of people have camping checklists. you can search for them in the search bar. Heres one:

Anyone have any non camping checklists?

dress cool for the day, keep a sweater in your backpack/hydration pack for the night. i don’t tend to get cold at night during sets because you’re packed in with other bodies, usually dancing and moving so it doesn’t feel so cold. it’s really just the walk back to camp that’s a little chilly, i didn’t need my sweater last year W2.

A sweater is highly recommended. The desert gets cold at night. Even a good long sleeve will do

It gets a lil chilly and breezy. Bring a jacket/hoodie, & if you don't wanna bring one you could buy one but they're normally expensive & the merch lines are long

YES - definitely recommend bringing a jacket/ sweatshirt/ etc

Its cold at night when you are walking stage to stage and when you are making your way back to your car/uber/shuttle. It is not cold when you are in the middle of the crowd at a set. Something warm and light that u can carry around all day or in your bag.

Bring a bandana or mask, walking at the end of the night is more dusty than in the day.

Spot on. Thanks for reminding me about stuff I already forgot about. Coachella flu is no joke. Caught it after landing and it stuck for 2 weeks. Miserable af.

Sticky this shit and we won’t need my Questions thread as we approach the fest.

This is amazing, first timer going for W2 and this answers so many questions. Thank you!!

SAVED So fast. Thank you!

Thanks for making this! I went to my first Coachella this past year (tent camping), but I learned a few things to consider for next year, like getting a locker and bringing a rubber mallet for the tent stakes.

My first year going to the fest I was surprised at how many "normal" dressed people I saw. I think it depends which weekend you go.

Weekend 1 is known for all the influencers and brand trips so those people usually go all out with their outfits because they're creating content.

Weekend 2 crowd is usually more lowkey, more so there for the music and festival itself.

I personally always prefer comfort over anything else. You really are exposed to the elements out there, the sun is super strong and it can get very hot. Nighttime gets really cold and windy. I like biker shorts or stretchy material that doesn't dig into my waistband. Flowy clothes are a good idea too. Be sure to wear comfy shoes, something with good support.

And have fun with it! On Friday wear something grungy or sparkly for Gaga, Saturday wear neon green for Brat!

I’d say priority one is wearing footwear that’s going to keep you in the game. I’ve always been fine with converse but some in my group have had to go other routes.

The past few times my outfit selection has been: On the hottest day I wear white/light colors One day I’ll wear some sort of patterned button up The other day I will wear some sort of graphic band tee or something. Shorts with all except Sunday W1 last year where it was pretty cold. Hats and Bandanas are a great way to add some color to the fit too

Nothing too crazy

you don't get to dictate my festival attire pal

hell yeah!

Omg I think I also saw them at desert air

Did they all have mustaches??

i'm wearing my weinershnitzel hat that i typically only wear for special events

just have fun with it. for me, Coachella feels like a judgement free zone where i can wear things that i dont usually wear. theres no dress code, be comfy but let loose this is a place where you can express yourself :)

Blister bandaids are a must! Made the mistake of wearing new Docs at a fest once and luckily my dear friend had a pack of these. Wouldn’t have survived without them. Now I always carry them

Bandana are huge, they prevent dust inhalation + you can soak it and use it to cool off

+1 for the butt wipes. They work not just for that but to blow your nose and get them nasty dirt boogers out. Not as rough as tissues. And we pack some electrolytes to mix in a water bottle throughout the day. For ladies I carry extra menstrual items and hair ties just in case.

Butt wipes

Alright this is my shit. In my ziplock I have: bandana, two masks, purell, sunscreen, battery pack, chapstick, mini flashlight, 2 band aids, aaaaaaand 2 liquid IV packets. Some of this goes into my camelback pocket once I get in but this is what I go with.

This is the first fest I've gone to in awhile where I'm not camping, so like, I have everything I need, but I feel like I'm going to be wayyyy under-packed. Done the same thing of walking myself through leaving the house all the way through returning home and feel like I've got everything I need set aside, but it just feels off not packing my festivals bins, tent, canopy, etc.

Packing stress? Try packing plus longer term planning stress. My wife and I are flying out to Italy for our honeymoon for 2.5 weeks the Monday right after Coachella. So it's like we're planning for everything before Thursday. AhhhHHhHHHHhhhHHHhhHhhHh

Though I know it's going to be amazing once it starts.

I started making a list a few weeks ago, and I go over it and edit it/add things pretty often. But kind of going off of what you said, thinking about everything day by day and coming up with what you will need that way should help you. Writing things down really helps me, so make lists!

I also like to separate my lists into categories, so I can ensure I have everything I need, and then from there organize all the items by how they will be packed.

Seriously, the packing anxiety makes me forget MAJOR things:

Last year, my anxiety was so bad that I packed everything, but we got there and I had forgotten to plan anywhere to stay. D’oh!

Year before that, anxiety was so much that I got our flight departure time wrong in my mind... plane left, we weren’t on it. Major D’oh!

Wagers on what will I totally F up this year?
