When We Were Young 2026 Bag Policy

Okay, so you’ve got your tickets to When We Were Young 2026, and you’re already mentally curating that perfect nostalgic outfit. But before you start pairing your favorite band tee with combat boots, let’s talk about the bag. Because nothing kills a vibe faster than getting turned away at the gate with a purse that’s basically a suitcase. Here’s the lowdown on the bag policy for 2026—and trust me, it’s more forgiving than a stage-five clinger.

First up: Clear bags are your best friend. Think of them as the stadium-approved version of a neon fanny pack. They can’t be bigger than 12” x 6” x 12”—roughly the size of a hot-pink binder you had in 7th grade. Non-clear bags? Only if they’re small, like a clutch that fits in your palm. And please, leave that giant tote with “Coachella 2018” stains at home; it’s a no-go. Also, hydration packs are allowed, but they must be empty. Yes, even your emotional support water bottle.

Now, the real tea: you can bring one factory-sealed plastic water bottle (up to 20 oz), and there are free refill stations inside. So you won’t have to sell your soul for a $8 Dasani. No metal, no glass, no flasks—unless you want to start a new career as a human maraca. Phone pockets on lanyards? Totally fine. Fanny packs? Yes, as long as you don’t hoard all the glow sticks in it.

So, pack light, pack clear, and remember: the real bling is your smile (and maybe a few glittery clips). You’re going to scream-sing every lyric to “The Taste of Ink” and make memories that last way longer than any bag policy. See you in the pit!
