Attending a music festival usually means you’ve spent hours planning it all out—on-theme outfits, your set lineup and cramming more accessories than necessary into your bag. But in the coordination chaos of your group chat, you’re likely forgetting the essentials. That’s where Amazon's Festival Shop comes in. Skip the store runs or paying double the price for lip balm at the airport kiosk, and rely on Amazon’s quick shipping for all your last-minute necessities. 

For inspo on what to stock up on, we turned to influencer Luann Diez, who’s sharing the three items she swears by for every festival season. And yes, you need to add to cart immediately. Might we suggest buying multiples? Thank us later.

The Stick That Makes Dancing in the Desert Actually Bearable

Festivals are all fun and games until your thighs are suddenly on fire because you’ve been dancing in the desert heat—in summer, no less. Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick is an absolute must for your festival bag. “[It] not only rescues your thighs, but I love using it on my calves when I wear boots and when my bra strap can [feel] uncomfy,” Diez says. The clean, vegan formula is packed with skin-soothing ingredients like pomegranate seed extract and orange oil to protect and relieve skin. It swipes on clear for mess-free application—just toss it in your bag and forget about it (until you need it, of course).

The Packet That’ll Make You Feel Human Again by Noon

Moving on your feet all day under the sun among thousands of people is a quick way for your body to lose hydration. Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier is the best option to combat a midday slump or get you through a rough morning because it replenishes electrolytes faster than water alone. The science-backed formula has 3x the electrolytes of the leading sports drink, plus eight vitamins and nutrients. The single-serve packets make hydration a no-brainer when you’re on the go. Diez says, “Electrolytes are a must. I always take a couple with me to stay hydrated throughout the day.” Choose from over 10 different flavors and stock up before the season hits.
