Get ready to experience the electrifying energy of the Calabash South Africa Festival as it takes over Johannesburg's FNB Stadium this weekend and Cape Town's DHL Stadium the following week. This comprehensive guide provides essential tips for making the most of your festival experience, from packing essentials to navigating crowds and ensuring a safe and memorable time.

The Calabash South Africa Festival is set to ignite Johannesburg 's FNB Stadium this weekend, before moving to Cape Town 's DHL Stadium a week later. Early birds can stake their claim and start feeling the excitement build. Remember, with thousands of attendees expected, strategic planning is key. Consider utilizing the many park-and-ride options that will be announced by the organizers.

All ticket holders will receive crucial information before the event, including a comprehensive list of dos, don'ts, and essential details a couple of days beforehand.Making the most of a big day like Calabash involves more than just entry and exit. Pack a small backpack or waist bag with necessities such as fully charged power banks and sunscreen. A small, foldable rain poncho or waterproof pants (available at most camping stores) can easily fit into a backpack and come in handy. Heels, flip-flops, or delicate footwear are not recommended, as you'll be on your feet for hours. A light jacket or hoodie is also a good idea for when the evening chill sets in. Jeans or leggings are a comfortable choice, lightweight yet warm enough if the temperature drops. Essential items to pack include a hat or cap and sunglasses. If you have long hair, consider a clip, hairband, or elastics to avoid frustration. Tees, vests, and strappy tops are easy to wear, and to prevent chafing, leave your bra at home or opt for a sports bra. A small pack of tissues and antiseptic or sanitizing hand wipes will be helpful for everything from using the restroom to cleaning up spills. Before heading to the stadium, remember to review the organizers' rules and concert information to avoid bringing prohibited items like glass bottles, weapons, or oversized bags. Be prepared for potentially long queues, as concert experiences can range from chaotic to well-organized. Outside food and drinks are prohibited, so make sure to have a meal before arriving. Card facilities will likely be available, but carrying some cash as a backup is recommended. Remember to consume alcohol responsibly to ensure the enjoyment of the event for everyone and to have your own positive experience. Security can be strict, as demonstrated at the Chris Brown show
