Hyderabad has become the city to beat, when it comes to hosting gigs or music festivals. Having hosted some of the biggest names in the international music scene in 2015 and 2016, the city is all set to host its very first NH7 Weekender on the 5th and 6th of November.
With almost a week left for the festival to begin, the hard working crew at OML have put in countless hours and unimaginable effort to make sure the event rolls out smoothly. And in order to further enhance your experience at NH7 Weekender, Hyderabad we bring you a list of essentials that you need to keep in mind to ensure you and others around you have a great time.
Stay Hydrated
We cannot stress enough the importance of water at music festivals. It literally becomes the elixir of life after you’re going to be dancing for close to 6-7 hours. Stay hydrated and offer water to anyone who you think is looking dehydrated.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
This one is a no-brainer, really. You’ll be dancing throughout during your favourite artist’s set, and wearing comfortable shoes during that won’t tire you out. Wear something comfortable and trendy, and pair that with comfy sneakers and Voila! You’re all set to dance your heart out.
Invest In A Power Bank
We assume most of you out there already have a power bank, but for those of you who don’t, we’d highly recommend buying one. You’d be at a music festival where you’ll be taking videos, selfies, and photos of your favourite artists, so keeping your phone juiced up will be essential at all times.
Meeting Points
It’s a given that at some point at the festival, you and your friends might be at different stages so as to check out different artists. In that case, always decide on a meeting point before hand, so there won’t be any problem locating them when you want to meet up. You might get signal problems too, decide the meeting point and time accordingly.
Plan Accordingly
With such a massive lineup, it’ll obviously be difficult to catch two acts playing simultaneously at different stages. Before coming to the festival, plan your day accordingly, and make up your mind about which artist to see and when. And if two of your favourite artists are indeed playing simultaneously, it’s better if you catch half of both their sets. It’s better than missing out entirely on one of your favourite artists.
Take Breaks
It’s important for you to take breaks and not wear yourself out just when the fun’s about to start. Take breaks, recharge yourself, and hit the ground running with your moves.
