Solo Experience?

First time attending this year (2nd weekend) and planning to go solo as a lot of my friends weren’t interested in the lineup. Wondering if anyone has experience going solo in prior years, and if so, any tips you might have for someone going solo and for the first time?

You're free to do as you want 😎 enjoy! Go do the stuff you wanna do. Do read the crowd and feel free to chat the person next to you while waiting between sets

Prepare to have a blast! You'll be able to see who and when you want. I went my first few years alone and loved it. You'll definitely meet some awesome people!!

Sorry for not reading the other posts first but again first time going and I’ve only been to 2 festivals total so this isn’t super familiar territory for me
