Best shoes to wear to festivals in 2025: Hiking shoes, wellies and cowboy boots

You've secured your ticket - and if Glastonbury is on the agenda, that's no mean feat. But now comes the packing, and it’s a challenge unto itself.

Let’s start with the basics. If you’re heading to an overnight festival, you will need a tent. Decant your alcohol into plastic bottles, secure your festival fits and clear the pharmacy shelves of baby wipes. Other festival essentials include a camping backpack to transport the aforementioned and a power bank to stay juiced up. See our handy packing list for more information. Ear plugs are the most important purchase you can make if you’re hoping to get any shut-eye through the weekend.
