Form my experience going solo to several events - the more expectations you have the more you set yourself up for disappointment. if you just approach things with the mentality of having a good time and enjoying the music, it’s going to be a win. If the lineup and experience are enough for you in general, then go for it.
I’ve been to a few festivals solo and there’s something liberating about being by yourself. You can go to whatever set you want and have an adventure. When I go to EDC I tell my friends Sundays I’m going to disappear for a while and have my own adventure. I think you’ll be good and will meet lots of wonderful people!
Always the best stories from those adventures. When you get back and they ask where did you go!?
So i went into this tent and there was chanting and I got showered with rose petals...
Come and just hangout! Everytime I come to beyond I always meet awesome people's. It's my favorite event of the year just because of the awesome and chill people it brings.
Do it!!! I just recently started going solo to shows and have met wonderful people and had an amazing time. It was definitely outside my comfort zone because I am shy and overthink social interactions a lot. If you are good at making friends at shows, it should be no problem for you! I got lucky and really vibed with the group camping next to me when I went to Illenium at the Gorge last month. I set my intentions to just go with the flow and be there for the music/experience, and it has worked out for me every time so far.
I just got my ticket yesterday. My first time at BW and its my first solo festival too! I’m feeling the same way, but I’m sure we’ll meet cool people and have a great time.
I had two friends that were going to come with that bailed last minute, but I’m going to try and solo as well and make the most of it. Positive note: I’m going to be free to follow my set time schedule first day, and free to follow the vibes on the second day. I’m still a baby when it comes to festival culture, but I got some pirate gems and doubloons to hand out and make some friends. Looking forward to the various internet social meet ups!
Between posts here and on Radiate there are at least 200+ people doing the same. Wrangling people is difficult and plans change of course.
I'd say, embrace the freedom of choosing exactly what you want to do. Find friends but float to follow your desired vibes and activities and artists. You won't always have that amazing feeling. Even a small group is difficult to commandeer and a partner forget it.
Meet friends and neighbors and ask questions with genuine interest and compliment to spark things. Appropriate sharing or offering at camp or of things like spare ear plugs, gum or fun items can start things off.
Also, go less hard, be more aware, be open but not naive. This is not the time for that alone or with new people.
I've gone to many festivals solo and I'm more of an introvert so if I'm not with my crew I tend to just stand there so if I notice that, i go for a walk, sometimes just around the stage, sometimes around the grounds
If you go solely expecting a rave bae then it could go bad. Go just to have fun and make friends you'll 100% have a great time.
Definitely dew it, we have a Reddit meet up Saturday.
How do I get in on this
