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 24°C, so heat is rarely the main problem — but the warmest day still reaches about 25°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 67% of Parookaville days, averaging 1.4mm a day and about 4.2mm 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 15°C, with the coldest festival night typically near 14°C (Sat 18 Jul). 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.
- A hoodie you don't mind losing.
Why the Parookaville site matters
The airfield is wide-open and exposed — wind and rain hit hard with nothing to break them, and the campsite turns muddy fast. On hot days the lack of natural shade pushes people into the themed buildings and tents. Sunscreen during the day, hoodie at night is the usual move.
