Trail mix is the perfect snack to keep your energy going from song to song. It's high in vitamins and minerals and will keep your blood sugar content steady so you won't crash middance. We taste-tested several Trader Joe's trail mixes to see which one is the best.

Protein Bars

For a protein bar that won't melt in the heat, food editors swear by Probar. No matter which flavor you get, the snack bar acts as a great replacement meal if you are standing in a crowd waiting for the next act to go on.
