My osl tip is to spring for a locker and bring a refillable water bottle. You can stash your layers during the day so they don’t get in the way of dancing/moving around but still have them for when it inevitably becomes freezing cold at night!

Fellow crow here to give you OSL tips. My credentials are that I'm a music reporter by trade and have been to lots of festivals. Bring a blanket you can sit on during the day and one that you can wrap around your body when temperatures plummet in the evening. I like to bring heat tech leggings to throw on when needed. Bring a hat and a stick sunscreen. Also hand sanitizer. A handkerchief might come in handy. too, you never know. Make sure your outfit has lots of pockets for all the shiny things you'll pick up!
