It’s that time of year again—summer concert season is underway! From Coachella to Stagecoach, and numerous shows and residencies, music enthusiasts can gear up to see their beloved artists live this year across the nation (and internationally).
As each venue enforces varying rules regarding bags permitted inside, the typical guideline is to use a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that does not exceed 12 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches. Failing this, you might find it challenging to pass through security (and risk needing to leave your bag in a locker—or worse, forgetting it altogether).

EDITOR’S CHOICE
Amazon Clear Bag for Stadium Events
Measuring about 9 x 9 inches, this fashionable crossbody features a front pocket for quick access to tickets, phone, and ID, along with a main compartment to store sunglasses, chargers, accessories, and more. We appreciate the contrasting color piping and the adjustable “guitar strap,” which is broad and flexible for comfort.
STYLISH PICK
Joryin Women’s Stadium Approved Crossbody Bag
Why should a purse be banned from concerts or stadium events? This transparent bag maintains the style and shape of a crossbody purse but features a clear PVC construction. Roughly measuring 7 x 10 inches, this clear purse presents vegan leather accents and a nickel-style strap with buckle. Available in multiple styles and colors online.

FASHIONABLE PICK
Adidas Utility Festival Crossbody Bag
For an ultra-stylish approach, consider this Adidas Utility Festival Bag, adorned with the brand’s classic heritage logo up front and featuring a stylish black and white color palette. With double zippered compartments for secure storage, there’s ample space for all your belongings. Measuring 5.5 x 7.5 inches, Adidas claims this bag is made from a minimum of 40% recycled materials, creating an eco-conscious festival accessory that is also chic. Our team has adopted an Adidas crossbody bag for sports events and concerts over the years, and its sturdy material survives all weather conditions and can be easily cleaned after use (although we appreciate the vintage look showing our concert— and Adidas— history).

FAN FAVORITE
Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L Clear
For those seeking something smaller than a fanny pack, consider a belt bag. Lululemon’s Everywhere Belt Bag provides a venue-approved clear body (available in black or white vapor) allowing for a hands-free experience during the show.
