Shooting a music festival is not a walk in the park (actually it literally might be a festival held in a park but you get me.) Think of this more like packing for a trip vs. what you'd bring to just shoot some portraits. Since I just finished up a week at SXSW and I've been getting a lot of questions about this, I figured I'd give a comprehensive list of my favorite products to bring and what to expect when photographing a music festival!
