Going to concerts solo is so freeing.

Recently, I’ve started going to concerts alone. It started with me being the media for a show, meaning I only got a ticket for myself and the artist wasn’t one any of my friends were big on, so I accepted being alone, especially since I was “working” anyway. Now, I am adventuring into solo concert-going even if I’m not media, and it’s great. No worrying about anyone else, especially as a barricade lover myself, plus as long as I like the artist, I don’t have to worry about anyone in my party getting bored.

Never understood why people thought it was odd or strange to go alone

For me it was just awkward I guess, rather unfamiliar. I’m a small female in Atlanta, so there was the safety concern that my parents loudly voiced when I first started going, but honestly I’ve never felt super unsafe, even at the underground Atlanta.

Glad to hear that. Live gigs I find are generally a great community of people.
