Summer concert season is back! The return of live shows means that music lovers can prepare to see their favorite artists onstage after years of canceled and delayed shows due to the pandemic.
While every venue has different regulations for bags that you’re allowed to bring inside, the general rule of thumb seems to be a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag that does not exceed 12 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches.
To help you get your gear in order for concerts and festivals so you’re not stuck having to buy a higher-priced bag at the venue, we’ve compiled some great options — from Amazon, Walmart, Target and other retailers — for venue-approved, clear bags to carry your belongings in at your next concert or music festival (including Lollapalooza).
See our list of clear bags to wear to concerts below.
