Wet days are common enough that boots are a sensible default rather than an over-reaction, especially in the camping fields.

What rain actually does to Untold

The city setting means shelter, food and air-conditioned bars are never far away, which softens both heatwaves and storms. Thunderstorms occasionally pause outdoor stages, but the festival's many indoor venues keep the night running. Cool nights are a relief after the long, hot afternoons.

If the forecast turns wet

  • Boots over trainers, and a spare pair of shoes sealed in a bag.
  • Rain jacket for walking, poncho for standing in a crowd with a backpack.
  • Pitch on the high side of the field, never in a dip, and use a groundsheet.
  • Dry bags for phone, power bank, tickets and one full change of clothes.

How we know

These numbers come from the Open-Meteo historical reanalysis at the festival's coordinates, averaged day by day over about 15 years. They describe a typical edition, not the one you're going to — for the live picture, the Untold forecast page updates twice a day once the event is inside the forecast window.
