Alannis Morissette in Cardiff 02/07/25 can I take a backpack.

[IamEarthymama]

I’m so excited, especially after her brilliant performance at Glastonbury at the weekend.
I have just been reading the rules re bags. I can take a refillable water bottle, a plastic filled water bottle but no backpack?
I need prescription medication, a poncho, suncream, my hat, prescription sunglasses.
Would a tote bag and a crossbody bag be ok?
How do they expect people to carry merchandise?
please experienced gig attendees, give me your advice!

(My nickname is baglady, so you can imagine my pain!😉😂)

Bags no bigger than A4 (which is standard for most gigs)

A4 bag,yeah. Take a bag for life for merch?

Thank you!
Me!

I know you probably don’t want to risk it but a big stadium concert that also had the no backpack and must be A4 size rule was ignored by the entry stewards - I saw loads of men with larger bags.
I had my stuff in a small knapsack type fabric bag. Big enough for phone, keys, purse, tour T-shirt and water bottle and small enough to fold into requisite size if needed (it wasn’t).
