Or would you prefer a backpack? Something that's really practical and beautiful...
While the Coachella Music and Arts Festival is in full swing in California with summer temperatures and hot beats, it's high time for us in Germany to get ready for the upcoming concert season! Even if the weather is anything but warm right now, the next open-air concert is sure to come. So start warming up now with the anticipation of finally seeing your favorite band live again!
At a music event, your outfit not only has to look good, but also be comfortable. When you're standing in a crowd among many others—a drink in one hand, your phone in the other to take a photo of the stage show—it's important to have your belongings safely and securely stowed away. With the right bag, that's no problem!
As a passionate festival visitor for several years, I have my personal
Top three list of the most practical festival bags:
3rd place: the backpack
With a backpack, you'll definitely have enough space for everything you need for a day, or even an entire weekend, at the concert venue. For large festivals, these practical backpacks are definitely a good choice. However, at events that are quite crowded, it can be a bit tricky to carry a backpack on your back: there's often simply not enough space, and taking things out can be really complicated in crowds. In terms of safety, a backpack might not be the best choice in this case either – because in the worst case scenario, you'll have your belongings within easy reach, not for yourself, but for the person next to you.
Also worth noting: many festivals don't allow large backpacks through the usual entrance checkpoints. It's definitely advisable to check the organizer's website in advance.
Whether you prefer canvas for the trendy denim look, or leather – decide for yourself!
2nd place: the shoulder bag
With a shoulder bag, you carry your valuables close to your body – which is obviously safer when you're around a lot of people. Depending on the size, it also offers enough space for everything you're carrying. Your cell phone, water bottle, sunglasses, money, and even a light overcoat are quickly accessible with the bag over your shoulder. When dancing, it can sometimes be a bit restrictive to always have it on your shoulder. However, the advantages of safety, comfort, and sufficient storage space outweigh the disadvantages. Unless you plan on dancing for several hours in a throng of people – in which case, you'd be better off choosing a different type of bag.
1st place: the shoulder bag
The shoulder bag is my absolute favorite for festival visits! Because you wear it close to your body, you always have your things quickly accessible and safe. When it comes to storage space, you have a lot of options – depending on your style. For the collectors among us, the larger models are certainly more appealing. These large shoulder bags are extremely practical for festival visits. And if things get particularly tight and cozy, you can wear the shoulder bag in front of you, so it's always in sight and protected from thieves.

Large shoulder bags offer plenty of space, even when visiting a festival, and are ideal for you if you like to take more with you.
Small shoulder bags are, of course, a real eye-catcher and a great accessory for a festival outfit. These cool bags are perfect for women who don't have to carry much. And the best part is: when it comes to design and material, practically anything goes this season! Whether smooth leather or suede, with fringes, studs, or zippers – the main thing is that the shoulder bag fits your personal style.
A small shoulder bag completes your festival look. Anything goes, as long as it's fun!
And finally, an insider tip:
It's making a big comeback – the hip bag! The practical bum bag is back, and rightfully so. It's also a hit at festivals in many ways: it's compact, worn close to the body, and therefore safe. Old-fashioned?! Not at all! Quite the opposite: if you want to be a true trendsetter, the bum bag is the perfect choice this season! And another insider tip for the particularly fashion-conscious: the bum bag can be worn not only around the hips, but also over the shoulder – either on the front of the torso or on the back.
So then, clear the stage and enjoy the next music event!
Best regards,
Mariya
