Always in the bag
- Refillable water bottle — sealed or empty so it gets through the gate.
- Sunscreen SPF 50 — even a cloudy festival day is six hours outdoors.
- Power bank — your phone is your ticket, your map and your group chat.
- Earplugs — for the front rail and for the campsite at 4am.
- More socks than days.
Sun and heat
Highs average 19°C, so heat is rarely the main problem — but the warmest day still reaches about 20°C and shade is limited at most sites.
- A wide-brim hat and sunglasses beat a cap for full-day sets.
- Loose, light-coloured long sleeves cover more skin and feel cooler than a vest.
Rain and mud kit — don't skip this
Rain falls on roughly 100% of Copenhell days, averaging 1.9mm a day and about 7.6mm across the main days.
- Wellies or waterproof boots, plus dry shoes for the good spells.
- A real rain jacket and a cheap poncho — the poncho covers your bag in a crowd.
- A tarp under the tent and pegs that hold in soft ground.
- Dry bags for phone, power bank and one sealed set of dry clothes.
Sleeping and night layers
Overnight lows average 13°C, with the coldest festival night typically near 12°C (Wed 17 Jun). A 2-season bag with a comfort rating around 8°C covers these nights comfortably.
- An insulated mat — the ground takes more heat than the air.
- Thermal base layer and sleep socks that never leave the tent.
- A packable insulated jacket for the walk back from the last set.
- A hoodie you don't mind losing.
Why the Copenhell site matters
Refshaleøen is concrete, gravel and steel — drainage is excellent, so the site never turns to mud, but wind off the harbour makes cool days feel raw. On the rare hot afternoon the lack of shade and the dark clothing of the crowd push everyone toward the bar tents and the harbour swim spot.
