Outside Lands 2021 Bag Policy

So, You're Headed to Outside Lands, Eh?

Alright, listen up, festival-goers! You've got your sunscreen, your shades, and your dancing shoes. But wait, what's that? You're wondering about the bag policy? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into this like a kid in a candy store. Grab a snack, this might get a tad... informative.

First Things First: The Bag Ban

Now, I know what you're thinking, "But I've got my life in this bag! My water, my snacks, my secret stash of glow sticks!" I feel you, I really do. But Outside Lands, she's a tough love kinda gal. She's banning bags that are bigger than 12x12x16 inches. That's about the size of a small pizza box. So, yeah, leave your overnight bags at home. This ain't a sleepover, folks.

But fear not! You can still bring in a small bag, like a fanny pack. You know, those things that were once considered uncool, but now they're back with a vengeance. I mean, have you seen the ones with the pineapples on them? They're like the party king of accessories. So, embrace the fanny pack, my friends. It's the new black.

What's Allowed, You Ask?

Alright, let's talk about what you can bring. A clear plastic bag, no bigger than the size of your average lunch box, is fair game. You can also bring in a small clutch or wallet, as long as it's not bigger than 6x9 inches. That's about the size of a small book. Like, a really small book. You know, like one of those tiny books you get in a Christmas cracker.

Now, let's talk about the essentials. You can bring in one factory-sealed bottle of water, up to 24 ounces. That's like, what, two big gulps? Hydration is key, folks. You don't want to be that person passed out under the Ferris wheel because you didn't bring enough water. Trust me, I've been there. It's not a good look.

What's Not Allowed: The Naughty List

Alright, let's get serious for a sec. There are some things that are just not allowed. Like, at all. No bags with multiple compartments. No bags with a built-in cooler. No bags with a built-in cooler and a built-in speaker. I mean, come on, people. We're not trying to make this a competition for the most extra bag.

And listen, I know you're excited about your new selfie stick, but leave it at home. They're not allowed. Neither are drones, chairs, or coolers. I know, I know, it's like they're reading our minds. But hey, rules are rules. And we want to make sure everyone has a good time, safely.

What to Do with Your Stuff

So, you've got all your stuff, but you can't bring it in a bag. What do you do? Well, Outside Lands has got you covered. They've got a coat check where you can leave your stuff. It's like a magical place where your belongings go to rest while you dance the day away. Just remember to bring some cash, because it's not free. But hey, it's better than lugging around a bag all day, right?

And if you're really struggling with the bag situation, there's always the option of the 'No Bag Express Lane'. It's like the fast pass of festival entrances. You leave your bag at home, you get to skip the line. It's a win-win. Unless you really love your bag. Then it's just a win.

So, There You Have It

The Outside Lands bag policy, demystified. It's not so bad, is it? I mean, sure, you might have to leave your bag at home, but think of all the fun you'll have dancing around without it. It's like when you finally decide to clean out your closet and you realize you have way more clothes than you thought. Only, instead of clothes, it's your bag. And instead of your closet, it's the festival grounds. You know what? Never mind. That was a terrible analogy.

But you get the point. The Outside Lands bag policy is there to make sure everyone has a good time, safely. So, embrace the fanny pack, leave the bag at home, and let's get this festival started. See you there!
