Lost Lands: Your Ultimate
Dino Survival Guide
Lost Lands Music Festival isn’t just three days of bass…
It’s a prehistoric endurance test with lasers, dinosaurs, and enough dust to exfoliate your soul. You’ll get the real talk here: what to pack, how to camp without hating your life, and the survival hacks no one else will tell you until it’s too late. I’ve done the rookie mistakes, I’ve mastered the chaos, now you get the guide that’ll have you thriving from the first drop to the last stomp.
📍 Location: Legend Valley, Thornville, Ohio – Home of dinosaurs, headbangers, and questionable life choices.
📅 Dates: September 19–21, 2025 (Pre-party: September 18) – Mark it in blood… or just your Google Calendar.
🎟️ Tickets: Available, but still going fast.
🏕️ Camping: Options from “primitive tent life” to “glamping like your sugar daddy paid for it.” New in 2025: Camp Dino Divas – a femme-identifying safe space.
🎶 Music: Over 200 artists, including Excision (multiple sets), Illenium, Slander, SVDDEN DEATH (VOYD), LSDream & CloZee (LSZEE), and enough bass to knock your eyelashes off.
🌡️ Weather: Hot days, chilly nights, and enough dust to become part of your DNA.
💧 Water: Free refill stations. Bring a hydration pack, the walk from your tent to the refill station counts as cardio.
Cool Aunt wisdom
🧣 Your pashmina is your festival Swiss Army knife.
Dust mask. Blanket. Sunshade. Emergency skirt. Fashion statement. Emotional support fabric. Don’t show up without one.
🥤 Electrolytes are not optional.
If your water doesn’t taste like a sad sports drink, you’re doing it wrong. Dump that powder in like your hangover depends on it — because it does.
🚽 Never trust the porta potty after 10 PM.
If you must go, pashmina over the nose, headlamp on, and pray for your nostrils.
🎫 Screenshot everything.
Your ticket. Your camp map. Your friends’ numbers. Phones die, service dies, batteries die... chaos lives.
💡 Know your ‘camp light off’ time.
At some point, you’ll need to stop being the lighthouse of Legend Valley and let your neighbors sleep. Or not. I’m not your mom.
🍌 Bananas are better than protein bars.
Easier to eat mid-bass drop, won’t break your teeth, and they weirdly make you a crowd favorite.
📌 Make a landmark at your camp.
Inflatable T-Rex, disco ball, whatever — just make sure you can find your tent after a midnight wobble through the fog.
🖤 Always have a ‘last day’ outfit.
You’ll want something comfortable enough to sit in the grass, but hot enough to make that one camp crush do a double take.
