I went last year and was totally unprepared. Obviously its an all day outside concert and I'm going in Charlotte NC. Its going to be hot and sticky and I want to have a good time without looking ridiculous. I am thinking of wearing a pair of light weight shorts with a swim suit and a cotton v-neck over the top. My real concern is what I should do with my hair. Its pretty long and naturally wavy and I've got blunt bangs. I thought of tying it up with a fun bandanna so that I don't look 12. Any other ideas or tips?

The bandanna is a great idea. You could do it similar to this girl's. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=bandana+in+hair+girl&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=FpKa9fJEitL18M:&imgrefurl=http://weheartit.com/entry/10981820&docid=f_izK2ZY6ndB_M&w=500&h=414&ei=kycsTsqOLaX50gH65czkDg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=381&page=1&tbnh=139&tbnw=153&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=56&ty=93&biw=1152&bih=773
Also, I love braids. They hold my hair back really well. If you know how to french braid (or have a friend who will do it for you) something like either or these will hold your hair back and look cute. http://weheartit.com/entry/11561103
You could do what I do... and do not wear a v-neck. It gets way too hot to even bring that along. Just wear a crop top with a bikini top... that's what I do, with some shorts. For your hair there are many different ways that you can put it up so it won't get really gross, but still make it stay in tact. The past three years I've gone I always put it up, which was a mess 'cause my bun would fall out and such. But this year I'm braiding it and pinning it up. Try a french braid or a dutch braid. There are many techniques you could do. The bandana idea is fun, but remember that's more stuff to add to the hotness on your hair.
What I wore when I went yesterday was a loose fitting tank top, a bikini top underneath, shorts, and Vans slip ons. Wear something like that! If the v-neck is thin, then I would say wear it. If it's like a Hanes cotton one, then I wouldn't wear it. Remember, you're wearing this all day!
Just throw your hair up in a ponytail and pin back your bangs with bobbi pins or a head band like this: http://www.drugstore.com/scunci-headwraps-with-no-slip-grip-black/qxp169952
Honestly, no one cares how you're dressed or what your hair looks like. Everyone is so nice. So don't worry about it. Have fun!
