I Go to Concerts Alone & Here Are 5 Reasons Why I Think You Should Try It too

About three years ago I went to my first concert by myself. Not only did I go to a concert by myself, but I flew to another state just to go to a concert by myself. That’s a story for another time though.

Going to concerts is one of my absolute favorite things to do. Singing, dancing, meeting great people that love similar music, there’s just nothing better! Despite concerts being such an amazing time, I think the idea of going to a concert alone scares a lot of people.

Don’t get me wrong, I love going to concerts with friends just as much, if not more than I love going to them by myself. My best friend and I, who live in different states, are constantly trying to find flights and concerts that we can go to together. But there is something so special and unique about going to a concert by yourself.

You open yourself up to seeing the shows you really, really want to see regardless of if anyone you know is free to go with you.

Why should not having a friend that is free and wants to go with you stop you from going to a concert and having an amazing time? Long story short, it shouldn’t! Go solely for the fact that it’s a concert you want to see. Two nights ago, one of my favorite DJs was playing in town, but I didn’t have tickets. I also ended up not having any plans for that night, so about an hour before the show I go onto craigslist to try and find some tickets. It was so last minute that I knew I wasn’t going to find anyone to go with me, but why should that have stopped me? I ended up having such an amazing night and that would never have happened if I wasn’t willing to go by myself.

You can meet amazing people, or you can just enjoy time by yourself.

Being at a show alone, you’re in a situation where you can either use it as motivation to go meet really amazing likeminded people, or you can use it as an opportunity to enjoy some time alone, listening to music you love. I’ve met some of the most amazing people at concerts, and I’ve also had some of the most reflective, carefree, and enjoyable personal time while at concerts alone.
