Earplugs, and your eardrums will thanks. The sound is all the time too loud, a live performance like this runs at 100 to 115 decibels and your ears begin to endure from 85 up. At 100, it takes about quarter-hour for the harm to begin, and also you’re going to be there 13 hours, not fifteen minutes. The great half is that, with earplugs, even when they’re not completely fitted, you possibly can nonetheless hear all the pieces clearly, with out hurting your eardrums or ending up with tinnitus the subsequent day. Loop are the very best recognized, however there are cheaper variations you will get for 10 euros or much less.

For my thick thigh girlies, and this works to your toes too in the event that they blister: anti-chafing balm, the sort you rub on earlier than heading out. I take advantage of the Migou model and it lasts ages, however with the sweat you would possibly have to reapply. If you wish to put on a costume all day with out tight shorts beneath, this protects you.
Carry electrolyte sachets to prime up. Water alone isn’t sufficient whenever you’ve been sweating for hours, and by noon your physique begins complaining. Correctly rehydrating isn’t simply ingesting, it’s changing what you lose.
And the tip no one provides you and that you just’ll thank me for at three within the morning: go away a tube of aloe vera gel within the fridge earlier than you permit the home.

Carry one thing that unfolds so you possibly can sit on the bottom, like a sarong, or a shawl. Some manufacturers give these out as freebies, even cushions, however don’t depend on successful one, assure your individual.
For the crew who need to be fishnet-top trend victims: please, don’t.
