Odds are if you’re attending attending Bonnaroo this weekend, you’re probably freaking out. That’s natural. After all, it’s going to be a solid four-day weekend of heat, mud, and rock n’ roll (depending on your schedule). For returning attendees, packing is a cinch, as experience triumphs all. However, for those newcomers to the summer music fiesta, preparations might seem like a nightmare.

But there’s a reason why you hit up Consequence of Sound every morning, day and night, right? Right. We have you covered. We’re always looking out for your best interests. Why wouldn’t we? What type of people do you think we are? Inconsiderate barbarians? Nihilists? Youth degenerate head honchos? Republicans? Of course not.

We’ve worked with our staff in compiling what will be the first of many official CoS Festival Survival Guides. Naturally, we started with the one festival that would need it the most: Bonnaroo. So, before you hit the road (or air, or water) for Manchester, TN, be sure to take a “gander” at the guide and check off all the stuff you need to lug south, or north, or west, or…east. If you’re coming from space, I apologize for leaving you out. We come in peace. Here’s a dove.

Anyhow, without further ado…
