The Edge: New survey shows more people are attending music festivals alone

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – New figures suggest that more people are choosing to fly solo at festivals. According to a survey by Ticketmaster, solo festival-goers increased from 8% in 2019 to 29% in 2025. People say they go alone because they love a specific music genre and either can’t find friends who share the taste or coordinating others is a hassle. Do you like attending events by yourself?
