I need your best beat the heat (temperature, not cops) tips

Going to a concert next week and with heat index it's possible it will be well over 100 degrees (900C) and probably hotter on the field when the show starts.

We're taking umbrellas, snacks, electrolyte powders, sunblock, and battery powered fans. The venue apparently has refillable bottle stations, but I bet they're going to be mobbed.

What are some other tips for not dying on the field (assuming the show isn't canceled)?

900C? well dude then there is nothing you can do other than get cremated

900 degrees celcius? ...well it was nice knowing you sherbro, but if that's the temperature then, you're going to die.
 
1. Wear a hat with a wide brim to keep direct sunlight off your head / face / neck

This kind of hat is ideal, especially with the cloth to cover the back of your neck.

It's very very important to protect the back of your neck. I went so far to use duct tape on the back of one of my hats and my neck was completely covered.

He'll be okay for a about 45 seconds of agonising pain before he passes out and is burnt to carbon......
 
Get yourself a thermos or a Stanley cup with hot plain green tea. No sugar added, no anything.

Drink it gradually, bit by bit.

it's the best way to beat the heat I've experienced so far.

Definitely the way forward, you could fit so much ice in it then just hug it on the ground to keep cool!! Great idea!!!
 
Have extra water to just pour over your head and shirt.

If you pour it on your pants then you can also piss yourself since you know them bathroom lines are going to be crazy.
 
Become a nudist? Or maybe attach long aluminum fins to yourself to draw the heat away to dissipate? Works for electronics.
 
Honestly those neck fans are amazing. Had one on last time I was working on a deck frame and I felt noticeably cooler the whole time
 
Get yourself a white hand towel and a couple of rubber bands.

Wet the towel with water, then roll up some ice cubes in the towel like a burrito.

Put a rubber band on each end to keep the towel from unrolling.

Drape the towel on the back of your neck.

As the ice melts, it will keep the towel cool and wet, which will make it seem like it's 10 degrees cooler.

I call this an ice collar. I started doing this when I went to NASCAR races in Fontana, CA.
 
There is a product called a cooling towel.

They really work. I recommend one of them, wide brimmed hat not umbrella for other people view, hydrate and wet your clothes.

Oh and start using the electrolytes the day before if you want to maximise the benefits.
