How to Stay Safe at Concerts & Music Festivals

Here are some simple yet essential safety tips to navigate crowds, protect your belongings, and prepare for your next concert or music festival.

Concert and music festival safety tips for young adults and Gen-Z. Don't let fear ruin the fun! Learn how to stay safe in crowded venues, protect your belongings, and handle yourself in tricky situations. From staying safe with alcohol to what to do if you struggle with large crowds, we've got you covered. Enjoy your next concert without the stress and anxiety.

Concerts are supposed to be a euphoric escape, a place where you can lose yourself in the music and forget about the world outside. But let's be real, the reality is a bit more grounded. With thousands of people packed into a small space, it's easy to get caught up in the moment and forget about your safety. This topic came to mind after Taylor Swift decided to cancel her three-night run of The Eras Tour in Vienna due to a foiled conspiracy attack that was thankfully stopped before it could cause a major tragedy.


We're not trying to scare you, but this news can make you feel on edge, so it's important to keep your safety top of mind wherever you go. If you have a concert, festival, or large event coming up, here are some tips on how to stay safe.


Drink Responsibly (Or Not At All)


We get it. A cold one in hand can improve the concert experience. But alcohol can impair your judgment and make you a prime target for, well, everything. Pace yourself, know your limits, and don't forget to sneak in a glass of water in between drinks. Trust us, you'll remember the show better in the morning if you can actually remember it. And hey, if you're not feeling the booze, don't feel pressured to drink. Concerts are about having a good time, so focus on what that looks like for you, not for everyone else.


Be Aware of the Crowd


Concerts are a communal experience, but that doesn't mean you have to be a human sardine. Music festivals can get quite intense as you get into the thick of the crowd. If you start feeling overwhelmed or claustrophobic, don't hesitate to move to a less crowded area, even if that means losing a spot close to the stage. Look out for your friends and let them know if you're feeling uneasy. Remember, everyone's in it together. Oh, and if you see someone in trouble, don't be afraid to lend a hand. A little kindness goes a long way.


Protect Your Stuff & Only Bring the Essentials


Let's talk about the dreaded phone snatcher. It's a harsh reality, but it happens. Keep your valuables close to your body, especially in your front pockets or a sling bag worn across your chest. In a crowd, someone can easily take your phone without you realizing it. A phone case with a lanyard is also a great accessory to keep your phone in sight and accessible. And remember, your phone isn't worth risking your safety. If someone tries to grab it, let it go. You can always replace a phone, but you can't replace yourself.


It's important to bring only the essentials. Before you head out, consider leaving behind anything you might not need. The less you carry, the less you have to worry about. Your phone, keys, wallet or purse, and any personal items you need are more than enough.


Always Trust Your Gut


We've all had that feeling when something just doesn't feel right. Whether it's a dodgy character or a sketchy situation, trust your instincts. If you're feeling uneasy, remove yourself from the situation and find a trusted friend or security guard. It's better to be safe than sorry.


A tip we love is having a secret code word with your friends. Before heading to the concert, make sure everyone is on the same page: if someone uses the word, everyone agrees to hear them out, no questions asked. People notice different things, so if a friend is trying to get your attention, make sure you listen. Your safety is more important than a song or a good spot in the venue.


Know Your Surroundings


Before you dive headfirst into the concert, take a quick scan of the venue. Locate the exits, bathrooms, and first aid stations. Knowing your way around will help you feel more confident and prepared.


It's not being paranoid. You never know when an emergency can occur, so knowing where help, first aid stations, security, and bathrooms are, will make you feel more at ease.


Share Your Location with Someone on the Outside


It's always a good idea to have a backup plan. Share your location with a friend or family member, and make sure they know where you're going and when you expect to be back. Apple Airtags are also a great way to let others know where you are. You can keep one in your bag or pockets just as an extra safety measure. And of course, program important phone numbers into your phone, just in case you need to call for help.


 

At the end of the day, concerts are supposed to be fun. So relax, enjoy the music, and soak up the atmosphere. By following these tips, you can have a safe and unforgettable experience.


Remember, safety is key, but fear of an emergency shouldn't prevent you from having fun and enjoying these experiences. With a little preparation, a good system in place, and common sense, you can enjoy your concert to the fullest.
