So I will be going to Bonnaroo this year, from June 12 - 15. We will be camping in our tent for those nights. I've never gone to a music festival before and I don't really know what to expect. What are some of your survival tips for these things? Also my dad gave me my tickets so he's going to...

Bring drugs.
It's their currency.

Drink plenty of water and be prepared to smell like weed. Also designate a meeting place in case you get separated from your group. Other than that just have fun.

Was in Murfreesboro last year during Bonnaroo, staying at the Embassy Suites. Rather humorous to be walking thru the lobby and seeing several fairly stoned individuals come staggering in the door...and then later cleaning out the free snacks during happy hour....

Just finished my third fest this year... While it was smaller than bonnaroo there are still some good lessons. If drugs are your thing get a test kit (I especially hear this is true at bonnaroo) apparently there is a hug problem there with people selling dangerously fake shit. Second. Don't bring your own stuff, cops outside of these festivals are tenacious about pulling over anyone they can for any reason they can find...that being said make sure your car is in ship shape (lights, blinkers, mirrors, license plate light, etc.) This will at very least save you time for not getting your car torn apart in their hunt for drugs. Theft is also an issue...don't leave anything outside of your tent when your at shows that you don't want to grow legs and walk away...get yourself a little lock for your zippers as well (wooks and tweekers won't try that hard to get your shit). Leave electronics behind (except phone) you have no reason for them and some other idiot will bring them. If you don't have a camel back already go buy one... The mule is the perfect size for both water and carrying your shit. Also get a 1 liter hand pump weed sprayer off of amazon, it will make you the life of the party as you mist those dying of heat around you. It puts smiles on everyone's faces and will keep you cool throughout....This is something I would never go to a festival without.
To save space on food get yourself some cyclist food. Go to your local bike shop and pick up honey stinger waffles, cliff bars, and shot blocs. They are a little more expensive but are packed with sugar and calories and are great for a quick snack as you stop by the tent or are stuck in the crowd. They pack light which is great. Make sure you have awesome sunglasses.
Really that's all I can think of right now... let me reiterate the importance of the weed sprayer. There are 10s of thousands of people sweating their ass off....If you are the guy with the awesome sprayer that is just getting down and keeping everyone cool you will be raging!
Good luck dude and have fun! Don't forget the wet wipes either

I'm not really the drug type so hopefully the police don't bug me too much. The bike food is a good idea! I was debating if I should bring my camel back or not, but it does seem like a good idea... Thanks!
