Depending on what means of transportation you are using to get to the festival you should pack practically. If you go by car, you can park your car next to your tent, this way you don’t have to carry much with your stuff and you can bring as much gear as you want! Every other means of transportation can give you restrictions on what you can take with you. Make sure you have a good bag which you can use to carry your stuff to the perfect camping spot. Suitcases are a bad idea because the wheels will not work in the grass or sand and they are difficult to carry! Check our checklist for MetalDays and make sure you have everything you need!

Garbage bags are useful for literally every situation you are going to face during MetalDays Festival. Use them to throw away all of your empty cans of beer, stretch them over your backpack to keep your things dry or use it as a festival rug. With a little bit of creativity you can even turn it into a fancy raincoat. Garbage bags also come in handy to put your dirty clothes away and keep them seperate from your nice new outfit. The options are endless.

A large part of the time you will spend on the water. The bands only start performing in the afternoon, so you’ll have plenty of time to relax during the day. MetalDays has a beach bar at the point where the two rivers Soca and Tolminka meet. Bring an inflatable bed to float in the rivers or relax at the bar!

It’s a holiday and everyone behaves accordingly. Everything is done calmly and relaxed.

This small town is still a fairly unbothered part of Slovenia, so definitely worth a day to look around!
