Festival season is upon us, which means it's time to finalize your Coachella outfits, coordinate your travel plans and spend half your bank account on your music festival packing list. Errr...except not, thanks to this guide of festival essentials on Amazon under $100 😇. While it may be tempting to blow your entire festival budget on clothing, shoes, and accessories, seasoned concert-goers know how important it is to save money and trunk space for some practical items that'll elevate your experience.

Though the camping gear, sun protection, and safety essentials below may not be as exciting of a purchase as a new swimsuit or sunglasses, they're equally as important to bring along to Lollapalooza, Summerfest, Stagecoach, or whatever other festivals you'll be attending this spring and summer. Nothing will put a damper on your experiences like a severe sunburn, sleepless nights, or a case of heat exhaustion.

To help your weekend go smoothly, we've created this practical music festival packing list complete with items that even experienced festival-goers can easily forget. And, to ensure you've got enough money leftover for Bad Bunny merch, we made sure all our festival essentials are available on Amazon for that two-day shipping and under $100.
