Your favourite band is making a rare festival appearance in the coming months, but unlucky for you, your mates are low on cash or are laying low this summer. It’s a hard decision – do you sack off the opportunity, or head solo?

Going to a music festival alone sounds pretty intimidating – especially when they’re usually full of big groups of friends. It might initially feel awkward or embarrassing going alone, but here’s the thing – nobody cares if you’re alone. In fact, once you’re inside a festival, nobody will even be able to tell you’re alone. Festivals tend to be a judgement-free zone and the majority of people will admire your confidence and sense of adventure.
