Must-Have Items for Concerts: The Ultimate Packing List

October 15, 2024

Picture this: you’re at the concert of your dreams, surrounded by thousands of screaming fans, the music pulsing through your veins, and your favorite artist just a few feet away. You’ve been waiting for this moment for months, maybe even years. You’ve planned an outfit, and your ticket is ready—but have you thought about what else you might need? Check out these 5 items, all available at SM Store, that you must have in your bag for your next concert!

Powerbank

Concerts are all about capturing memories—from filming fancams to snapping selfies with friends, your phone is going to be working overtime. You definitely don’t want a dead battery in the middle of the show so pack a powerbank! Choose from a variety of powerbanks available at the Gadgets section inside SM Store.

Rechargeable Fan

Waiting to get inside the venue should not be a sweaty struggle! Keep a rechargeable fan on hand—these sleek, stadium-approved lifesavers will keep you cool, even in a crowd. Visit the nearest SM Store or contact your Personal Shopper to grab one (and maybe an extra for a friend!).

Mints or Gum

Between the heat, jumping, and screaming at shows, it’s easy to get dehydrated or feel sluggish. Water is a must, but a quick mint or piece of gum can give you that extra boost when you need it. Swing by the Snacks section and toss some mint or candies into your cart—it’s always smart to keep a little sweetness in your bag!

Oil Blotting Paper

Oil blotting paper is your go-to for quickly freshening up without messing up your makeup. It’s lightweight, fits easily into your bag, and will keep you looking and feeling fresh so you can focus on the music, not your oily T-zone.

Marker or Pen (for that once-in-a-lifetime moment)

Imagine running into your favorite artist after the show. You make eye contact, they smile, and suddenly the impossible becomes possible—they agree to sign an autograph! The only problem? You don’t have a pen or marker.

Pack a marker or a pen just in case. It takes up almost no space and they’re handy for jotting down details like new friends’ social media handles or the name of that opening act you loved.

Now you’re all set and ready! Shop for all your concert needs, from your outfit to these essentials, in-store or let an SM Store Personal Shopper help you shop from the comfort of your home. Don’t forget to pack smart, stay cool, and make the most of every moment!
