We all know that opposites can attract in the real world, but it's our experience that in the magical realm of festivals, companionship works bests for the sisters with a similar approach to the experience.  In the lead up to one of our all time fave festivals,  Bluesfest Byron Bay,  we've come up with a little checklist to find out if your Festival Soul Sister is "The One"...

Yep, there's a big chance your phone may die, be dropped in mud or trampled on by someone who is busy running to catch the end of Dashboard by Modest Mouse. You need to know your bestie's digits off by heart (or at least have it in massive writing across your arm in sharpie) in case you lose each other, which brings us to...

Festivals are one of the only times we don't recommend Going Your Own Way... When you almost inevitably lose each other, you need to know your Soul Sister is going to show up by the frozen yoghurt stall/ ferris wheel/ cider bar/ wherever you've organised as your special spot... even if she's muddy with a broken phone and has brought along some bearded guy called Pete. 

If she wants to see Kendrick, but you're more keen for Cold War Kids... well, you two may have a problem.

Okay... so this one isn't totally required, but coordinated outfits DO look amazing on Instagram...

You two may be totally matched for coffee dates or after-work-drinks... but she's all about the moshpit and won't say no to a crowd surf or two, and you like to sit back on the hilland watch bands from afar,then you may not be (Festival) Soul Sisters. 

...Unless you want venture down that hill and crowd surfing a go!

Just kidding Bluesfest xx
