And…If you head to the festival (which you definitely should) be sure to look out for our OFFICIAL GUIDE to ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL.
1. Double Check That You Have Everything Before Leaving the House
This may seem like a total common sense move, but you’d be surprised how many people arrive at the festival only to find that they don’t have the necessities like tickets, cash or a phone. Before you leave your house, make sure you have your ULTRA ticket and that you’ve topped up your RFID bracelet so you can buy food, drinks and merchandise at the festival without worrying about losing your wallet. Also be sure to bring your phone and a portable charger. And of course, your friends!
2. Make a Set Schedule of the Acts You Want to See
With multiple stages and so many bomb DJs lined up over the two days, chances are you may not get to see every single set. Make a list of the DJs you absolutely MUST see, check their time slots and locales and then plan your days around that. We also suggest showing up at least 30 minutes to an hour before their set so you can get some bevvies in and snag a good spot before the crowds hit.
3. Wear Comfortable Shoes and Clothing
Sure, there are going to be a ton of people at ULTRA to see and be seen by, but remember that this is an outdoor festival in a grassy field. High heels just ain’t going to cut it. Plus, if it’s sunny it will be hot, and if it’s rainy then you’re going to get wet. Dress sensibly in clothes that are breathable, wear sunscreen and keep in mind that there’s a good possibility you might get dirty.
4. Stay Hydrated
There are no two ways around it—at ULTRA you’re definitely going to get your sweat on. The sun will be shining and the music will have you fist pumping and dancing up a storm. Be sure to drink tons of water to stay hydrated. There will be water for sale and available to all at the festival.
5. Put Together a Mini-Festival Kit With Comfort Items
While you definitely don’t want to be carrying around a big ol’ bag at the festival, you may want to bring a few small items that will add to your overall comfort while you’re there like toilet paper and baby wipes, mints, deodorant and hand sanitizer. A hat and some good sunnies could also come in useful. And please don’t forget your good vibes.
6. Plan For Your Hangover the Next Day
Of course we don’t condone heavy drinking and we definitely suggest that you drink sensibly and in moderation, but we also know that festivals have a way of upping the party ante. Think ahead to poor hungover future you and stock up on some Berocca, vitamins, coffee and plenty of fluids for the next day. You may also want to book time off from work on Monday the 12th. Just sayin’.
7. Put Your Contact Details in Your Phone Just in Case
With all that grooving and moving around from Point A to B to C, there’s a small chance that you might lose your phone along the way. While we really hope that doesn’t happen to you, it’s best to be prepared. Put an email addy or second number people can reach you at somewhere they can be easily found like in your address book under ‘Me’, or take a photo of your deets and leave it in your Camera roll.
8. Plan Your Transportation Home Ahead of Time
ULTRA Singapore finishes at 10:30pm both nights, so taking the MRT home is a very viable option. However, keep in mind that the closest station at the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is going to be a zoo just after the festival finishes, and getting a taxi is also going to be tricky. You may want to leave a bit earlier than the crowds or try booking a Grab Car in advance.
