By no means thoughts the truth that you’ll be able to barely stand nonetheless for 30 minutes with out decrease again ache and solely know the 15 seconds of that one Jack Harlow track that made the rounds on TikTok, you, a millennial, determined to buy tickets to Governors Ball. Who amongst us hasn’t gotten excited on the thought of seeing the likes of Migos, Halsey, and J.Cole carry out and pictured our fundamental character second?

I do know it’s been some time since many people have spent a complete weekend within the firm of hundreds of strangers, listening to music, so right here are some things you shouldn’t go away house (bear in mind leaving house?) with out, coming from me, a really drained millennial.

Comfy Sneakers

~The children~ might be sporting platform booties and even *gasp* one thing with a slight heel, however we each know the final time you wore a half-inch block heel, you couldn’t stroll for 48 hours. Don’t do it to your self. If you’re working from stage to stage… or just standing in place… you’ll remorse going for kind over operate. I belief you continue to have some biker shorts left over from the summer time of 2019, so simply dig up an identical sports activities bra and go for the athleisure look.

Earplugs

Bear in mind when feeling the bass rattle your inside organs used to impress you, and now it makes you need to lie down? Yeah. Earplugs. 

Tickets

Your days of hopping fences are very far behind you; everyone knows your knees couldn’t deal with that prime of an influence (not that I’d condone trespassing anyway…) so that you’ll want tickets, which can be found right here.

Butt Pads

To not adhere to any poisonous magnificence requirements, however to sit down on, since apparently BYO chair isn’t allowed. Don’t deceive your self; you’ve uttered the phrase “I may use a pleasant sit” solely semi-ironically.

Everlasting Youth

This competition season’s must-have accent is the unbridled vitality you’ll be able to solely get from everlasting youth. Hope you’ve all situated your fountains and signed your pacts with the satan! In any other case, possibly an espresso martini? Good luck.
