Earlier this June (June 3rd and 4th), I had one of the best weekends ever! I went to Governors Ball music festival with a few friends- listened to amazing live music, danced my butt off, and ate delicious food.

Here is what I learned and maybe can help out future Gov Ball goers:

Gov Ball is incredibly organized and send you helpful emails leading up to the concert days and throughout the whole festival
You get a wristband in the mail a few weeks prior to the festival- this is your entry into the festival
The Gov Ball app was super helpful! You could make your own lineup and it gave you alerts to remind you about the upcoming performance
Phone service sucked! I think it was because of the amount of people there. Not sure, but posting on social media or even texting was a pain.
Definitely take a portable phone charger!!!
Things to take:
- Sunscreen
- Empty water bottle- free water inside the festival
- Portable phone charger
- Tylenol or other pain relief and band aids- never know if you'll get a headache or hurt yourself.
- Deodorant or body spray- you'll be dancing, and sweating. No body wants to smell that
- Cross body bag or backpack. Somehow things add up and you need the space
- Light jacket. At night, the temperatures dropped. It was also nice to have when I got soaked
- Umbrella or poncho. Mother nature can be a bit moody and just decide to downpour
Governors Ball was really great about compensation for the third day being cancelled. So do not worry about getting ripped off
