How To Remove Lollapalooza Music Festival Wristband - 2021 Edition

In this video, I’m going to show you how I removed the locking mechanism on the 2021 Lollapalooza wristband. They’ve made a couple of changes to the wristband this year, making it slightly more difficult to tamper with.

When you twist the blue plastic piece, the teeth inside don't rotate. Also, there are now two sets of teeth instead of one.

If you have relatively small wrists, you could just avoid tightening the wristband and you should still be able to slide the wristband off.

Anyone else watching this video after its already tightly on your wrist

Bold of you to assume the plastic thing can move at all

I love this! I like keeping festival bands as souvenirs and what a save this video is, I just went to Aftershock Festival and Area 15 and they both gave me these hand cuff style sinchers.

I know this is an old post but I wanted to add my fix for anyone that may see this in the future, seems this is a common problem. I was ignorant to this design, so i messed with the wristband not knowing it won't loosen back up. I tried the straw trick but no luck as it was almost as tight as it would go down and a straw wouldn't fit. So I ended up clamping it down in my vice in my garage and twisting the wristband as much as it would go. I then used some channel lock pliers to pinch the locking piece to get the teeth to let go a little bit and at the same time work it down the wristband. It chewed up the cloth a little bit but it's fine.

Help! My ex tightened it all the way and I can't even get tape or a straw around the upper part of it because there is no space left. D: idk what to do.

If this doesnt work try using s small pear of pliers that can fit between the plastic and the cloth so that it crunches down on the teeth and covers them up. Works best when pliers go all the way through the plastic piece providing a smooth surface for the band to slide out on

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! This definitely works if the band is off your wrist and you've cinched it down too small to put it on. If it's on your wrist too tight to take it off then I think you'll have to cut it

2022: my wrist band from Lolla Paris was tight. I lay the plastic piece on wood, took a heavy hammer and hit it two three times from the narrow and the flat side (oval shape); the plastic peace broke of (I didn't want to keep that part); I can keep my lolla wrist band without cutting it ;)

Any tips fpr us idiots that have allready put the wrist band on prior to doing this?

[iMeze]

It just bites into the tape, makes it tighter if you pull up

[NevArcanists]

This worked for the wristbands from rolling loud thank you so much

[lizzydakid]

know what's funny about this video? I worked the vip at governors ball and needed tape for a quick fix behind the bar and it took and hour to get someone to give me clear tape and they wanted to watch what I was going to do with it, it all makes sense now

I made a mistake with playing with my wrist band but I’m glad I didn’t have mine on. But I tried his method and it didn’t work so I made it even smaller. So I was worried but (I came with an idea, I could put a thin but thick plastic bag in front of the wrist band BUT with tape then pull on the teeth downward) and it [worked] but I didn’t have that tool. (So I thought let me use the front of a pen) and it worked!!

Funciona para Lollapalooza Argentina 2022 ;)

[rookiemonster-vmml]

watching this video after bornpink abu dhabi concert....ps...it was amazing

[goldfishenjoyer]

does this work with Ohana Fest ones as well? I recently went and I wanted to save the wristband I got with out cutting it, it's on my wrist (and pretty tight oo)

[patrixfunny]

confirmed this DOES work for Outside Lands 2021- use straw on the LOOP side of the teeth lock

[leslypadilla]

im trying to take mine off bc i want to save my hobipalooza bracelet 😢

[goodvibestv]

Anyone know how to deal with those fasteners that have teeth inside that spin separately from the outer casing??? I accidentally tightened my ezoo band for Saturday before opening the app jus to find out I shouldn’t put it on till the day of

[hitherea]
