Coachella 2023: 10 festival essentials to pack in your bag

Save the planet and your wallet by bringing a reusable water bottle. There are water fill stations on the festival grounds.

With all the pictures and videos you’re going to take, lack of service, and failed attempts of trying to find your friends, your phone battery is going to drain fast. Bring a portable charger and chord to make sure you have a full battery.

It is HOT in Indio. There is no right or wrong way to dress at Coachella- but sunburn isn’t an accessory you want to have.

Keep your phone and personal belongings safe by making sure it’s strapped around your waist. Festivals are notorious for thieves.

The sun might be blaring during your favorite set. Bring a hat that can protect your face.

Coachella Valley can get windy, and when you walk back to the shuttles dirt and sand is flying toward your face with every step people take. Bring some eye drops in case you get some caught in your eye. It will help relieve any pain from the sun too.

You are going to walk miles on the festival, and if you’re someone that enjoys alcohol, you’re going to want to make sure you can make it all three days. Have some electrolytes on hand, whether it’s Liquid I.V., Gatorade, or Pedialyte.

The sun, wind, walking, and possible dehydration are going to take their toll on your lips. Bring chapstick, lip scrubs, or a good gloss that won’t leave your lips peeling.

You will regret not taking sunglasses. Pack a cute pair that will elevate your outfit.

Having a small purse can lead to you losing your wallet, or phone. It’s also going to get cold at night, so bring a backpack that you can carry an extra layer in. If you bring a clear one it will make going through security easier.
