This is UrbanMatter’s guide to surviving everything from watching Benny Benassi in the rain, to turning up to DJ Snake in 80-degree weather and back again.<\/p>\n

Entry and Security<\/h2>\n

You have to be 18 or older to attend the festival and everyone is searched thoroughly upon entry. Buy your tickets as far in advance as possible. Waiting until the last minute to buy tickets will most likely result in you standing in a HUGE line to wait for your wristband the day of. DO NOT DO THIS. Ticket sales WILL go up the longer you choose to wait to purchase them.<\/p>\n

Weather<\/h2>\n

If you live in Chicago, you already know how unpredictable the weather can be. A few years ago, Spring Awakening was rainy and muggy all weekend long. As of now, the forecast for this year\u2019s looks a little iffy, so come prepared.<\/p>\n

What to Wear<\/h2>\n

If all goes as planned, the weekend should be great shorts and tank top weather.<\/p>\n

There is a list of items that are prohibited from the festival on SAMF\u2019s website. Check out the list<\/a> before going to the festival. We have included ticket details as well as the full lineup below!<\/p>\n
