Everything You Need to Pack for a Music Festival From the Hottest DJs

No one knows festival packing better than a DJ: you know those bad ass ladies who not only provide the amazing tunes for the world’s most amazing parties and events but also play at some of the festival’s main stages and take in the big weekends themselves. We tapped four of the world’s finest—Hannah Bronfman, DJ KISS, Kitty Cash, and Olivia Dope—for everything you need to pack.
