A weekend full of music, sun, friends, and camping – the perfect festival experience. To ensure a truly relaxed experience, you need more than just a good mood: working technology, full batteries, and, above all, cool refreshments and fresh snacks. Because if your phone battery dies, the music stops, or your provisions get warm, the fun can quickly be dampened.
Especially in summer and at festivals lasting several days, a reliable power supply and a cooling option are essential. A power station and an electric cooler make you independent – and ensure you have everything you need to enjoy the festival to the fullest.
Typical problems at the festival – and how to solve them
Many festival sites have few power outlets—or they're overcrowded, charge for power, or far from the campsite. Generators are an option, but they're loud, heavy, require gasoline, and are banned at many festivals. Power stations, on the other hand, offer a simple, clean, and portable solution. They're flexible, quiet, and will keep you powered for days.
And that's not all: In combination with a cooler box, you can also keep food and drinks cool - ideal for a relaxed breakfast at the tent or a cool drink in the evening.
This is how much electricity you really need
Do you just want to charge your smartphone? Or also music, lights, and cooling? Add up the power consumption of your devices in watts and multiply by the planned usage time in hours – this will give you the daily consumption in watt-hours (Wh). Coolers often require 40–60 W, depending on the ambient temperature. So, for continuous use, expect an additional 500–700 Wh per day.
Our recommendation: These power stations are right for you
EcoFlow RIVER 3 (245 Wh)
Ideal for solo festivalgoers with low power needs. Perfect for charging smartphones, lights, or small speakers – super compact.

EcoFlow RIVER 3 Max (512 Wh)
For 2-3 people or if you want to operate a cooler or multiple devices – strong, lightweight, and reliable.
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus (2048 Wh)
Maximum capacity for groups, longer stays, or energy-intensive setups with lights, sound, and coolers.
Stay cool – even without a power outlet

Do you want fresh food, cool drinks, and avoid the hassle of meltwater, ice refills, or daily ice packs? Then electric coolers are worth considering – especially for multi-day festivals. With a power station as your energy source, you're independent of power outlets and still don't have to go without chilled supplies.
An example of this is the EcoFlow GLACIER models: They offer reliable cooling performance, maintain a constant temperature even at higher outside temperatures, and are easy to transport thanks to wheels and a handle.
A medium to large power station is recommended for operation. And if you want to be completely self-sufficient, you can easily recharge during the day with a solar panel.
Tip: Place the cooler in the shade if possible and only open it as often as necessary – this will keep the cooling as stable as possible.
Use solar energy: Solar panels from WATTSTUNDE
With mobile solar panels like the SOLA EASE SunFolder WATTSTUNDE panels let you easily recharge your power station during the day. The panels are lightweight, foldable, and robust – ideal for festivals. Simply connect them via cable and set them up – in your tent, on the lawn, or on a fence. This way, you remain independent of the grid and get power directly from the sun.
Just charge your phone? These power banks are enough
If you just want to charge your smartphone during the day, a power bank is often enough. Two ultra-compact companions for on the go:
-
EcoFlow Rapid 5000 black – super handy for 1-2 loads
-
EcoFlow Rapid 10000 black – more reserves for longer days or multiple devices
Energy, cooling and comfort – you have everything under control
Power is the underrated key to a relaxed festival. Whether it's a cell phone, music box, lights, or cooler – with the right power station, power bank, or solar panel, you're perfectly prepared. No more hot drinks, no more dead batteries in the middle of your favorite song. Just you, your friends, and a festival you can enjoy – fully powered.
