For the festival itself, you don’t have to bring much except for your ticket, valid ID, folding chairs and blankets (umbrellas are a no-go), empty plastic water bottles (no glass or metal containers allowed), and everything you need for a sunny – or rainy – day. It’s also 100 percent cashless, so don’t forget your cards.
