DJ Sparrow and DJ Whatsherface sat down with Carolina Brewing Company, a locally owned brewing company based in Holly Springs, NC.
Planning and executing your plan to Bonnaroo is always a work in progress. Each year has become progressively easier for me personally, after not having a pop-up canopy first year, and after correcting our food situation from my second year, let’s take a look at what my group could have done better this year, and what we will surely capitalize on in the coming years.
First of all, shoes. My vans are great for everyday stuff, but let’s be honest, those kicks, while perfect for 80% of situations in my opinion, don’t offer enough support to be walking or standing for 95% of your waking hours for four days straight. Wear some Chacos, or at least something meant for a lot of walking, your feet and legs will thank you at the end of the day. It isn’t really something you think about otherwise, but after your days my legs just felt like jelly, very very sore and kinda painful jelly.
The second order of business is sleep. Now this one is a double edged sword, but I experienced both ends of it this year. If you get too much sleep (like I did on Friday night and Saturday morning), you’re gonna miss out on some awesome stuff going on around the festival. I missed The Chainsmokers, as well as the Keys N Krates Kalliope set, just because I thought that I “should really get some sleep for the big day/night tomorrow”, which I now really regret, because I heard those shows were both fantastic. On the other hand, Saturday night we were up until 5 AM after RL Grime, as well as Adventure club and a Kalliope set. You WILL wake up before 8:30 every day due to the heat in the tents, so make sure you account for that. If your body and mind won’t hate you too much the next day, go ahead and stay up super late, it will be worth it, otherwise though sleep is pertinent.
Lastly, stay hydrated, but make sure you are always replenishing electrolytes. By this, i mean even though you are hydrated, make sure you are eating foods to carry you through the day and night, because of how taxing all the activities at Bonnaroo are. Just drinking water will actually cause you to lose more electrolytes as they wash out of your system, and you need those to keep on keepin’ on at all these concerts. In extreme cases like water poisoning, a bag of chips could save a life. Be smart, stay safe, and have the time of your life out there.

Bonnaroo: Fighting the Bonnaflu
After Bonnaroo, you may find yourself with a nasty cough, which if left untreated can lead to bronchitis or even pneumonia. At least 5 of our group of 11 this year came down with the Bonnaflu after the festival.
No one is quite sure where it originates, it could be the massive amounts of dry Tennessee dust you inherently inhale that is kicked up by the tens of thousands of attendees, or possibly it happened on the last day, playing in the fountain which has been using recycled water from the entire weekend, or even from someone who come to the festival sick and you happened to pick up what they had! I’m here to tell you what you can do about it to help prevent it or fight it if you somehow come down with it,
First thing, make sure your immune system is in tip-top shape before you go to Bonnaroo. Personally, I like to take some vitamin C to boost my immune system before and during the festival. Avoid sharing drinks with people who could be sick, which should just be common knowledge, but you never know. If you are in dire need of water (which is always a strong possibility in that heat) you should weigh the risks involved when someone offers you water, but there is generally always a water fill-up station within 100 meters of you at any given time. There really isn’t much you can do to avoid the dust, but if you can avoid it, I would recommend it, because it will take its toll on you even if you don’t notice. If you feel bad at any time during the festival, visit the medical tent, they are always there to help, and the medical professionals there should be able to lead you in the right direction better than I can.
If you find yourself feeling under the weather after the festival is over, get some rest and keep taking that vitamin C! If you feel a little short of breath or are coughing, everyone in my group can vouch that either sudafed or Nyquil both help a ton. If you start showing symptoms of bronchitis, e.g. wheezing etc, go to the doctor, they’ll know best, and they’ll get you better in no time, because you don’t want that bronchitis to progress into pneumonia (in my brother’s case walking pneumonia). Bonnaroo may have been the best four days of the year, but you always have to put your health first.
