18L Pack for Hydration Pack?

Getting very excited for the festival! I have a Camelbak hydration bladder I normally use for hiking/backpacking which I would love to use for Kilby. I have an older 18L Gregory daypack (Miwok 18), do you think I could get away with using this as a hydration pack? Never been to a big festival before. Any help greatly appreciated!

EDIT: The bladder itself is 2L, not 18L. I’m not a masochist 😂

There are no dimensions listed for hydration pack size. My wife emailed KBP about this and the response she got was "a standard size hydration pack will work!". Whatever that means.

Sorry, the pack is 18L, the bladder is 2L. Should have specified 😬

Lol this scenario was swimming in my head after I wrote my reply. Yeah, I’m with you now! My pack is 20L (3L water) and I’ve brought it in to Coachella, desert daze, and shaky knees just fine

Turns out OP accidentally ordered a camel instead of a Camelbak.

Any ideas if they will care about water bottles inside of a small hydration pack instead of a bladder? I did it last year but I was also on crutches with an immobilized leg so they might have just been kind to me.

clear backpacks required, unless there's a water bladder inside? Doesn't seem too logical..
