To go to a rave on my own?

I've called it a rave as its literally going to be a rave - its the Prodigy!! The support acts are brill on their own merit. It's a very late finish.

On my own. I'm middle aged. A mother of teenagers. I have a very professional corporate job. But I bloody love the Prodge. Every time they play this venue I've been to at least one of the nights and dragged a reluctant friend along. I have such a good time it genuinely lifts my mood for a very long time before and after.

I was ridiculously excited, and felt really confident about going on my own but now I'm feeling a bit sad and pathetic ☹️

Will I look a state? Aibu to just re-sell my ticket? 😔

Fantastic! You must go, you'll be fine. Whereabouts are they on? I'd love to go myself and definitely middle aged!

Definitely go. I agree with others it’s grand going to gigs alone. And tbh the Prodigy are unlikely to be attracting a bunch of teenagers! You’ll be with your people!! Enjoy ☺️

Do it! You'll only regret it if you don't. You'll find your tribe there too 😃

I love going to gigs on my own, you can come and go as you please, easier to squeeze down the front etc. also you’re not really on your own in a crowd of thousands of people!

TheDandyLion · 18/09/2024 22:20

I'm going.

Didimum · 18/09/2024 22:19

Definitely go. I’m off to a gig tomorrow by myself and really looking forward to just being alone!

BlueMum16 · 18/09/2024 22:19

Not been a gig but loads of other stuff including the football on my own.

Technically you're not alone, there are thousands of others there.

Enjoy!

Do it!

I’ve been to a couple of gigs on my own now due to friends being ill, i honestly had a blast and could soak up the vibe much better than having to keep someone close by

I've just bought my tickets for 20th December! Go!!

Where and when?! I'm in a similar position and not weird! We could meet up.
