How festivalgoers bounce back after late nights

By the beginning of the third day of Firefly, an age-old query is posed to most festivalgoers: How do you bounce again after late nights partying?

The solutions from Saturday’s early arrivals ranged from bumming burgers and scorching canines off neighbors within the campgrounds to including Liquid IV packets to their camelbacks.

With the solar shining, the pageant grounds have been almost all dried out, making the beginning of Saturday extra intently resemble Firefly festivals of years previous. The hoodies and rain jackets of night time one – when storms delayed the pageant’s begin – have been exchanged for the more minimal stylings typically seen at Dover’s Woodlands.

And because the first musicians took the stage round 1 p.m. the crowds have been round stands for water, Pink Bull and Yerba Mate, a extremely caffeinated natural tea native to South America.

Two of Firefly’s largest acts – Billie Eilish and The Killers – anchored Thursday and Friday’s lineups, enjoying into the early morning hours. Saturday’s schedule consists of blackbear, Glass Animals and headliner Tame Impala.

Jeff and Tyler Rhodes are Firefly veterans, having made the journey to Dover yearly apart from the inaugural pageant in 2012. Tyler’s morning restoration plan begins with “sitting in a chair like a zombie.”

By midafternoon he and Jeff have been contained in the pageant grounds filling up a camelback at a water station sponsored by Liquid IV. Jeff added a packet of the powder, which is designed “to reinforce speedy absorption of water and different vitamins into your bloodstream.” Does it work?

“I do not know if it is a placebo impact or what, however I really feel prefer it brings me again to life,” Jeff mentioned.
