1. A pair of Loop earplugs for anyone who wants to protect their eardrums while they're rocking out at a concert. They don't totally block sound but help to filter out excessively loud noise (like thousands of fans screaming), so you can still enjoy the show without your ears ringing for hours afterwards.
2. A pair of platform Converse high tops that'll give you a bit of a ~boost~ and help you see over the crowd. The thick and cushy insoles will keep your tootsies happy for hours, so you can stand in line, jump around, and dance to all of your favourite songs.
3. A pack of toilet seat covers that'll have your booty covered (literally) the next time you have to use the less than stellar facilities at the small venue your fav indie band is playing at.
4. An Everywhere Belt Bag so you can keep your hands free while you vibe to some live tunes. The inside has a couple of mesh pockets to keep your things organized *and* you'll be able to keep a close eye on your belongings.
5. And a slim card holder that won't monopolize all the space in your teeny bag. It has a window for your ID, plenty of card slots (seven, to be exact), and a pocket to keep some cash. It's also made with RFID-blocking materials that'll keep all of your info safe.
6. A clear purse that'll make going through the security line a breeze. Canadian bag regulations aren't as strict as other places, but it might be a good idea to have one of these just in case you score tickets to a tour stop across the border.
7. A wireless magnetic charger that'll stick right to the back of your phone (say goodbye to dangling cords and fighting strangers for a spot at the charging station). It'll fully charge your phone up to four times, so your battery won't die while you're capturing moments from the show.
8. A tube of Sun Bum SPF 50 face sunscreen to help protect your skin while you're soaking up all the music for hours in the sun. It has broad spectrum protection, is fragrance-free, and it's packed with vitamin E that'll keep your skin moisturized throughout the day, too (just don't forget to reapply).
9. A Baggu reusable tote bag that you can stuff your commemorative tour hoodie into (instead of awkwardly holding it all night). It'll fold down into a little square you can slip right into your purse or pocket before you hit up the merch booth.
10. A pair of cat-eye sunglasses that'll keep rays out of your peepers at outdoor summer shows. They're pretty darn sturdy, so they'll be a trusty alternative when you don't want to risk losing or breaking a more expensive pair.
11. A phone lanyard to keep your device handy if your outfit doesn't have pockets. Slip its little tab loop between your phone and current case, then clip on the strap — it's adjustable, so you can wear it around your neck or crossbody (now you won't miss a single 'gram-able moment digging your phone out of your bag).
12. A bottle of NYX setting spray that'll keep your concealer and glitter from sliding all over your face. It's infused with aloe and cucumber extracts to calm and hydrate your skin while you're dancing up a storm.
13. A packable jacket that'll keep you dry if it starts to sprinkle halfway through the outdoor gig. It's made of a water-repellant fabric and it'll fold into a zippered pouch with an elastic strap for easy carrying.
14. A mini Megababe deodorant for anyone who wants to keep it fresh during a sweaty dance session to their fave songs. The petite tube will fit into your purse and the aluminum-free formula will keep your pits smelling rosy all day and night.
15. A pack of wet wipes that'll come to the rescue when your assigned seat has a mystery mess on it. Since they're antibacterial, they'll wash and disinfect at the same time, meaning you can use 'em to clean your hands when the washroom runs out of soap, too.
16. A tube of MAC Cosmetics Locked Kiss Ink to give your lips an opaque matte tint that'll stay put for hours. It won't smudge or transfer while you eat, drink, or sing your heart out, so you won't have to worry about having to reapply it during the performance.
17. A stick of foot balm because icky blisters are your number one concert enemy. Apply some to your tootsies before sliding on your shoes to help prevent friction and blisters from those boots you didn't get a chance to break in.
18. A pack of hydrocolloid bandages because let's be honest, accidents happen in the pit (it's wild down there). They'll absorb all the icky stuff in cuts to help them heal faster, while also providing a bit of cushioning if the backs of your shoes start to rip your heels to shreds.
19. A handheld fan to give you an extra burst of cool air when you're standing in the crowd all day long at summer festivals. The handle even folds down, so it'll be a tad easier to stash in your bag.
20. And finally, a pack of blotting papers that'll soak up any extra sweat and oil from your face, so you won’t be stuck with extra shiny skin while you're trying to take Insta pics between sets. Plus, they'll help your makeup last from the noon show to the closing act.
