From the article: Top 10 Things To Bring To A Music Festival
Packing for a music festival is quite a different experience than packing for, say, a camping trip in the mountains. What items do you consider essential when you're packing for a music festival? Essential Things to Bring

Baby Wipes, Dry Shampoo and Mouth wash
- Baby wipes-essential when there are no showers. Dry shampoo- amazing for same reason. Mouth wash is easier than brushing your teeth1

Dry shampoo
- If you cant get in the shower, then dry shampoo would be a helping hand. Just spray it in your hair, and it looks like you've just gotten out of the shower. But you havent. [:

Dont bring loads of food!
- At festivals, theres always food outlets open 24hrs a day, and although its expensive (5 euro for a burger at oxegen!) its easier just to buy rather than bring food!

Essential Festival Needs
- Bottle tops, 'cause if you buy a bottle of Coke or something they probably won't give you a top!! Hand sanitizer too, to clean your hands!!!

Festival Needs - Emergency Fixes
- depending on the climate and type of accommodation (tents? rain?) I always like to have: safety pins gaffer's tape bin liners string with these few marvellous items you can fix nearly anything- leaks, bra straps, loose shoe soles, lost guy ropes... the list is endless

Itch Stick
- You WILL get bitten by at least one mosquito, even with bug spray. Those Benadryl sticks are awesome!

Pen and Small Notebook
- Whether it's to write down who's playing where when or for a new friend's contact info or to simply remember that awesome side stage band's name, you can't hit up any festival without a good ol' fashioned pen and paper. Plus, it's better than the back of a receipt should an autograph opportunity hit you.

Shoes and Socks
- I've learned that it's quite easy for your shoes (and socks) to get thoroughly soaked during music festivals, and if you're camping, they don't always dry out overnight (or they get irreparably damaged when someone puts them too close to the campfire - but that's a whole other story). An extra pair of lightweight shoes and socks are necessities, especially if the weather forecast looks rainy.
