You’ll need your belongings for a long day at the upcoming music festivals like Stagecoach or Coachella, but what kind of bag should you bring? Well, depending on the festival you go to, there are some rules to follow. Small bags are allowed at Stagecoach and Coachella (you can check their sites for exact dimensions), while other festivals may require clear bags for safety reasons.
At whatever music festival you go to, you’ll likely want a hands-free experience, so we recommend shoulder bags, crossbody bags, fanny packs and the like.
We’ve found the best bags to take to a music festival ahead, no matter your budget. Add these bags from Amazon, Target, Lululemon and more to your music festival packing list ASAP.
