Festival Season Survival Guide: How to Stay Energised for Every Set
Share
The tents are packed, your wristband’s on, and the group chat is buzzing — festival season is officially here. But between the dancing, the late nights, and the less-than-ideal sleeping conditions, it’s easy to feel drained before the weekend’s even over.
So how do seasoned festivalgoers keep their energy up — and still show up fresh the next day?
Here’s your ultimate festival survival guide, powered by smart prep, clever recovery, and science-backed support like Myrkl.
1. Pack Like a Pro
Festival days are long, and you won’t always have access to the essentials. Pack smart with:
- A reusable water bottle
- High-protein snacks (nuts, protein bars, oat cakes)
- Electrolyte tablets or sachets
- A portable charger
- Wet wipes and SPF
- Myrkl capsules — your secret weapon for feeling fresh the next day
Myrkl is designed to be taken before the fun starts, supporting your body through late nights, long days, and social moments.
2. Hydrate Early and Often
Dehydration is one of the biggest reasons festival-goers feel sluggish. Dancing, sunshine, and the occasional drink can take their toll fast.
Top tip:
Drink water consistently throughout the day — not just when you feel thirsty — and pair it with foods that help retain fluids like watermelon, cucumber, or citrus fruits [1].
3. Support Your Body with Smart Supplements
When your body is working overtime, it helps to give it extra support. Myrkl contains:
- Vitamin B12 – to support energy-yielding metabolism and reduce tiredness [2]
- L-cysteine – an amino acid that helps with natural recovery
- Probiotics – to support your gut health, even when your routine’s off [3]
4. Don’t Skip Sleep Completely
Yes, you’re there for the music — but your body needs downtime too.
If you can’t get a full 8 hours, aim for:
A short power nap between acts
- A good sleep mask and earplugs to maximise rest
- Sticking to at least some kind of wind-down routine
- Even a little rest can go a long way in helping you reset for the next day.
5. Fuel Up with the Right Foods
Festival food is fun, but try to mix it up with options that keep your energy steady:
- Slow-release carbs like oats or whole grains
- Protein to support muscles and mood
- Fruit and veg for natural vitamins and hydration
- Skip the sugar crashes and heavy fried foods when you can — or balance them out with snacks you’ve brought from home.
Final Thought
Festival season is about freedom, fun, and making memories — but it’s way better when you’re not running on empty by day two. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth tent pitch of the summer, planning ahead is your best friend.
With Myrkl in your kit, you’re not just festival-ready — you’re next-day ready too.
