SURVIVAL TIPS<\/h2>\n

Like most festivals, it can get pretty intense at ZoukOut. It stretches out over two days at a pretty high tempo throughout, which tends to be pretty intense on your body \u2013 and liver.<\/p>\n

Assemble Your Squad<\/h4>\n

Your party crew can make or break the fun factor. Gather good friends who genuinely enjoy the same music, take turns to do the beer runs and \u2018chope\u2019 your spot in front of the stages, be good wingmen\/wingwomen for each other, go nuts and have each other\u2019s backs.<\/p>\n

Keep an Open Mind<\/h4>\n

Instead of merely sticking to the artists you are\u00a0already interested in, take some time to wander to random tents and stages to listen to artists you don\u2019t know. The love of music after all is about keeping it fresh and open to new sounds.<\/p>\n

\"ZoukOut<\/p>\n

Pace Yourself<\/h4>\n

With events spread out over multiple days, burnout is a real possibility. Take breaks on the beach between the must-see acts. Lepak with your friends and have a cool-down chat. Hand fans and water spritzers can also come in handy.<\/p>\n

Stay Hydrated<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Have water between boozey drinks (it\u2019s the best way to stay upbeat yet avoid hangovers and doing a merlion). You don\u2019t want to be that person being stretchered out.<\/p>\n

Handle Your Own Drinks<\/h4>\n

With all that liquid courage, you\u2019ll make plenty of festival friends. But don\u2019t accept drinks from strangers unless you get it straight from the bartender. Seriously. You don’t want to drink anything that has left your sight<\/p>\n

Prep the Essentials<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re bringing your phones, carry it in a waterproof pouch (sometimes Zouk gives these out), and start a group chat on WhatsApp. Instead of endless threads of \u2018Where are you?\u2019 exchanges, simply type in a location (preferably a pre-agreed landmark) and a time to meet. Bring a portable charger in the likely case your phone runs out of juice.<\/p>\n

EZ Peasy<\/h4>\n

ZoukOut is also going cashless this year, so have your EZ-Link and credit\/debit cards at the ready. More details can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re welcome! Now go forth and sing and dance your heart out!<\/p>\n
