This humid hot weather has been a happy welcome for Bluesfest goers, and anything besides a torrential wind or downpour is safe to say that no stages will be falling, and all shows are a GO! Since there will be no shortage of hot weather anytime soon, here are some helpful Bluesfest basics so that venturing down to the festival this weekend will be worth every bang for your buck!

Festival footwear is a must, and there is no need to sacrifice style for comfort. Whether you’re jamming to the likes of Beirut or jumping to the sounds of Skrillex, flip flops are just not going to cut it. Slip your feet into super lite Natives for the guys, and lace up Pointer sandals for the girls. Your feet will be secure, comfortable and stylish all at once.

No farmer tans in sight if you stick to tanks this Bluesfest weekend. So showing off the shoulders is one’s best bet to keep cool, and sustain the summer sun while standing in one spot for multiple hours. There is plenty of prints, and styles to choose from for the gals and guys, whether you want to stand out for your favourite artist, or stick to a laid back look, we got you covered.

Sunnies and a snapback is a key staple for surviving the full day and night of bluesfest shows. Neon and sorbet colours are a festival fan favourite, plus protection wise they are definitely in one’s favour against the burning sun. So go for it, rock those sunglasses at night and enjoy the Bluesfest in these savvy stylish pieces.
