City Splash Festival 2026 Essentials

With City Splash 2026 just around the corner, we will forgive you for thinking you have enough time to prepare for the day.

The reality is that you don’t have enough time and there is a big chance you will forget something on the day.

But don’t worry, we have prepared a checklist that will ensure you don’t forget sh*t

Power Bank

Turning up to the main stage with 10% battery, is not the vibe. You’re going to want your phone alive from the first set to the final encore. From capturing moment, to finding friends and running up your socials. A power bank is an essential item for City Splash Day.

Footwear

Expect your step counter to go through the roof, as you’re going to be travelling in between stages. Pick up some slides and select “next day delivery” NOW.

Cash

With there set to be so many people in one area, there is the risk of electronics not working. Cash is king, put a £20 note in your phone case.

Snacks

Essential if you are a diabetic. The queues for food will get long, so bring a cheeky snickers in you fanny pack.

I.D

NO I.D, NO ENTRY. DUR

Energy

Gulp three red bulls because this is a celebration and you will be required to dance for 10 hours.

Towel

It’s going to be hot, so do not get caught covered in sweat.

Shazam

You’re guaranteed to hear tunes you ain’t heard yet!
