Summer Concert Survival Kit

Summer concert season is rapidly approaching, and with a bunch of great artists on tour, it is important to start preparing now for a smooth and fun night. Concerts are an all day affair, so it is so important to have the appropriate supplies for any situation thrown your way. Additionally, it is no secret that concerts are not always the safest environment. With that being said, it is important not only to offer material resources, but emotional ones like Groove Safe. Groove Safe is a non-profit organization that partners with artists and venues to provide education for fans on safety at concerts. If you see a Groove Safe table at one of your concerts this summer, make sure to stop by and check it out. Now into the fun stuff… 

Most concert venues have a strict clear bag policy, so why not do it with style? Here are some stadium approved clear bag options that do not necessarily ruin your concert outfit! All items will be linked below.
