Do you know we average 1 death per year at festivals in NZ?

Festivals are a massive milestone for teens. Independence, excitement, their first real taste of growing up. But for parents, it is also one of the most stressful times of the year. Big crowds, patchy reception, alcohol, long hours, and one thing almost no parent realises: how quickly communication can disappear.

A UK festival study in 2023 found that 72 percent of young people ran out of phone battery before the end of the event. Seventy two percent. That is most teens walking around in the dark with no way to call their friends, no way to contact home, and no way to reach help if something goes wrong.

When their phone dies, you lose the one thing that gives you peace of mind: knowing they are OK. And they lose their lifeline, the ability to find their group, share their location, or call you if they feel unsafe. In a crowded, unpredictable environment, a flat phone turns a small issue into a big one fast.

This is why keeping their phone charged is one of the simplest and most effective safety steps a parent can take.

SoloBoost precharged emergency chargers are made for exactly these moments. Small, portable, festival friendly, and actually something teens are happy to carry. No bulky bricks. No messy cords. No dead battery panic.

Just a fully charged backup that is ready the second they need it.

It is a tiny thing to put in their bag, but it gives both you and your teen something huge: peace of mind.

If you want to give your teen that extra layer of safety and peace of mind this festival season, consider adding a SoloBoost to their bag. It is small, simple, and ready the moment they need it.
