How to stay cool and hydrated while outside all day without drinking too much water and having to pee a lot?

My friends and I are going to the Projekt Revolution concert next Saturday and will be outside ALL day (maybe 11am or noon until midnight). How can we try and stay cool and hydrated without drinking a ton of water and having to go to the bathroom a lot, because it's going to be so hard to dig our way out of the crowd and then make our way back in every time we need to go to the bathroom...

We went to Live 8 a couple summers ago and tried to drink water as minimally as possible so we wouldn't have to go to the bathroom a lot, but then we ended up so dehydrated and sick and a couple of us almost passed out from the heat. So that idea didn't work...

Does anyone have any tips? Is water the best thing to drink? Or should we bring Gatorade or something? Any tips for beating the sun and heat too, besides sunscreen? Thanks!!

Update:

Oh, and any tips related to concert-going are also welcome! We don't really get to go to many concerts, so if you have anything to share about what to bring, what to wear, what kind of bags to carry, etc, we would love to hear those as well :-)

    urination is the key to staying hydrated. Your body sweats out the water but leaves the toxins(this is why your pee is dark when we sweat). Water and Pee is very important to surviving a hot day.

    You will not be able to bring in any outside food or drink,no alchohol,drugs or weapons.No wallet chains no spikes.Wear shoes that tie not sandels,tie your car key to your pants, and find a very safe place for your cell phone and money. When the crowd of 50,000 surges you can lose anything and everything that is not tied down. be safe.be smart. be ready. But most of all have fun and rock out!!!

    comprehend what your fluid desires somewhat are. Weigh your self, run for an hour, weigh your self returned. the version is your sweat fee. sixteen oz..of water = a million pound. for the time of a annoying work out interior the warmth, I lose over 40 oz.. an hour, i've got been measured as intense as 73oz/hr. I continuously carry a bottle with me if i am going longer than 5 miles. while you're actually not ingesting sufficient to maintain up, you like extra. My guess is which you're commencing out a splash dehydrated. Drink a quart or 2 an hour before you run. while you're basically going 4-5 miles at a time and top hydrate before you could in all danger wreck out without donning except its over ninety° or your sweat fee is bigger than mine (not likely). Your age should not be a ingredient. you have not hit your top yet.
