Going to a gig on my own?

Has anyone ever been to a gig on their own.

Am looking to go to the Metallica gig on the 1st august in dublin. But none of my mates are going and my girl isnt into that type of music.,

Would it be really sad to go on my own.

Has anyone went to a gig on their own and did they enjoy it?

No, just go for it, I'm sure you'll have a great time, no-one will notice you're there alone and even if they did they probably couldn't care less, everyone is there to enjoy the gig.

I've been to plenty of gigs on my own. Can be lonely while you're waiting for the bands to get on but superb once it's all happening.

It lends a different dynamic to gigs for me. If I've invited people I keep checking to see if they're enjoying themselves. If it's just me I focus on the music and the performance.

I'd say the performances I remember with the most affection are ones I attended alone.

I haven't done it myself yet, but I would and you shouldn't feel bad about it. Gigs are hardly the most social affairs and you can always chat to other people in the crowd.

I do it all the time, got a few gigs coming up that friends arent into so ill be alone then but its enjoyable just as much.

I go on my own all the time, 'tis ok most of the time, can just be a bit boring waiting etc.

I go to gigs on my own quite regularly.

In fact, some of my best gig memories are those I've been to by myself.

I’ve been to many gigs by myself and a great time.

loltim · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:21

Never done it but probably would. My friends aren't into the stuff I like.

I went to see ACDC on my own, arrived THREE HOURS before anything happened so just pondered the meaning on the universe for a long while. Once they came on I was in the middle of the floor having a blast. A++ would do again

To be honest at some gigs I've been too half the time you've too busy enjoying the gig you completely forget about your mates, such as I've seen Orbital twice - once by myself, once with friends and really the only difference with the friends was we had a pint before we went in and it's someone to talk too on the way there and going home - but in the gig everyone was too busy jumping around

Just take an mp3 player with some Metallica tunes on for going home and going there, get you in the mood for seeing them and winding down when going home.

Go for it.

Or you could always look up some fan forums for group meets and meet up with them? just a thought.

With the movement of the crowd it's sometimes difficult to stick close to friends anyway.

i like going to gig by my self, don't have to worried about anyone that way + i am very outgoing so usually meet new people

Going to a gig on my own?
