What bag to take?


Guest ayrshirechick

Recommended Posts

Hey all

Been reading this site for weeks getting myself excited for Rockness so thought I would join!

First time at Rockness, infact first time at any sort of festival so just had a question about bags.

Basically... what kind of bag do people generally take, or find easiest to carry etc? Being a girl, I want to bring all the crap of the day with me, but realise I can't, but still want to bring quite a few things.

Is this the sort of bag people usually take...

Apologies for being the daft newbie, as this is probably a silly question but where better to ask than people who have done it all before :P

Thanks x

thats sooo not a silly Q ....ok so i have been every year and have found that if you got a man they make perfect handbags :):):( but they do have their drawbacks they spend ur cash and say i forgot or loose ur most fav lippy :( (mine did) good job had back up's in the car..

but if your single dont take anythin to big cos when ur bouncin about it does get in the way ALOT i stupidly had my bag behind me and had cash nicked whilst was at cagedbaby they didnt get it all but *middle finger to the thief*

dont take alot... take in bag

lippy small mirror(wont find one in venue) unless u VIP which i am :( please dont forget some tissues most essential(bog roll goes fast once venue opens)(unless u think u can shake like a dude lol) (BTW I WISH THEY WOULD SORT OUT THE BLOKES PIS*IN IN FULL VIEW ITS MINGIN LIKE :blink: ) if taking cash make sure u split it up ie, pokets bra bag(this year i have designed a t-shirt for my m8 i have made him pokets inside his t-shirt for keepin his cash safe) polo's or chewingum, do ur makeup in advance try it out see how long it lasts then u will kno wot to take and wot to leave :( plus a condom (u never kno)

another gr8 tip we do it every year if with a crowd of m8s make a LOST ME M8'S PLAN ours was a certain flag if we got split up make ur way bk to im lost flag cos lets face it not all mobile phones get a reception at dores and pays to have a back up plan...

i hope u have a great 1st festival experience :D

Thanks for all that :D

Unfortunately it is a group of 4 girls and 1 guy that is going and can't use him as a handbag as he is one of the other girls boyfriends hehe!! Bought a big rugsack today which will carry all my rubbish to the campsite and got a lil across the body bag which will fit purse, phone, lipbalm,tissues etc in for during the day!!

And good idea about the lost me mates plan because no doubt it will happen, it happens in our local nightclub every week even though its tiny so in a huge space like rockness then yeah i will lose everyone :)

Have a fab time x

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
