Yep, gonna be hard, but still probably better than spending the whole day in the sun like at HP (2013 for me) not sure how bad it was this year. Marseille was pretty hot in 2018 too, as well as for Macca in 2015 but in the end it worked out ok.
I hope they allow water bottles in, maybe it would be a better idea to bring a camel back that can't be seen a potential thing you'd toss on stage. Having said that you probably don't want to be drinking too much either to have to use the rest room and lose your spot ;-)

At Hyde Park 2013 the security people were handing out free water to as much of the crowd as they could reach, and quite a few people fainted - but as you say, we were stuck out in the open all through the hottest part of the day with no shade. (The weather was much cooler this year - no problems.) At least with Lyon there is a later start and a shorter wait for the Stones. I can't see anything about water in those French rules and regulations, so let's hope they are more sensible than Brussels about allowing you to bring some.

Regarding entering the place with water here is the official answer I received from the stadium
Nous vous informons que les bouteilles d'eau sont autorisées. Ces dernières doivent être en plastique et seront débouchonnées à l'entrée du Groupama Stadium.
Nous vous conseillons de prioriser les bouteilles de petite taille (33cl ou 50cl).
Small water bottles (33cl ou 50cl) will be allowed but the caps will be removed
So the best thing to do is to have another cap hidden in your pocket, or your wallet or wherever you can hide it, let them remove the cap of your bottle and put the spare cap on after. If you atrrive directly with a bottle without a cap they will be tempted to search for it on you thinking you are cheating

I was at the Waldbühne in Berlin in 2014. It was 36 degrees celsius. The Stones was in top form, but I remember the frontman in the warmup act complaining about the heat. A good warmup act by the way, the Temperance Movement. Going to Lyon tomorrow![/quote

Since we're OT, aren't these the glam rock guys that Dale Skjerseth, the production manager, pulled the plug on at the Stade de France in 2014 ? It was a bit rude but no one in the audience seemed to mind too much ;-)[/quote

Yes. Budapest July 20, 2007 (and Bucuresti three days earlier) were both 34C or so daytime, may be 30C evening, can't remember. They sold out on water at the stadium in Budapest. It was tough, but I had filled up my body with plenty of water during my pre-show afternoon meal, so I survived without extra water.
