Eat before entering venue (food inside mahal dan queue panjang)
Avoid excessive alcohol (tahu limit kamu)
Electrolyte packets bisa life-saver di festival multi-hari
4. Crowd Safety:
Stay aware of surroundings
Jika di mosh pit/crowd surge, go with the flow, jangan fight it
Jika merasa overwhelmed, move ke tepi crowd
Trust your instincts – jika feel unsafe, leave area
