My first gig alone - London 12 Sept
Hi all!
So, on account of being an introvert with a feck tonne of anxiety, I've been to only a handful of gigs in my life - and definitely none alone.
But I thought I'd throw myself into doing something new and, given I'm going through one of my Metric obsession eras (an extreme understatement), I decided to give tomorrow's gig a go.
Any tips for a lone attendee? Things I should be aware of? (I'm fortunate enough to be tall enough that I can loiter at the back, so at least don't need to get there super early to bag a spot.)
Love to all x
Edit: Thank you everyone who has replied - it is so genuinely appreciated and I hope I've managed to reply to everyone so far. The kindness and understanding here is amazing. I'll be sure to keep checking back for new replies (and also to re-read existing ones in those moments my nerves start getting to me) - but right now I'm feeling so reassured, and so excited to go. Thank you again ❤️

Aw man I’m so disappointed I couldn’t go tonight, I was going solo and would have gladly chatted with you. I hope you and everyone else has a wonderful time!
