Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

Not a metal head, but a raver in my mid 30's.
Have an early dinner, like 4ish, and take a nap before the show. Shower and doll up like it's a new day, have a light meal with lots of fruits and veggies and drink some Gatorade (especially if you're gonna be drunk or otherwise inebriated, stay hydrated, bestie).
Same-ish, with chronic fatigue. This is the way.
To add, if you’re not drinking, take a pain med (Tylenol, neurofen, etc) before as well, to help your old ass bones and joints to not be sore. I usually start hydrating heavy a day or two before. I usually graban Organika or other electrolyte powder instead of Gatorade, and grab a b12 and Coq12. Oh and comfy shoes! Nothing worse than being at like a second or third day of a festival, unable to stand because of sore feets!
Electrolytes are what's important, yeah. I personally take Brode electrolyte multivitamins whenever I'm "going hard", but it's easier to recommend people to grab a Gatorade.
