Going solo is normal here
Loads of people come on their own — to gigs, line dancing nights, festivals and camping weekends. Most of them end up chatting to somebody by the second song.
Going Solo
Going on your own? You won't be for long.
“I'd love to go, but I've got nobody to go with” is the most common reason people miss out on country events. It doesn't have to be yours. Join a meet-up, see who else is heading along, and turn up knowing a few more faces.
Six things that make it easier
Arrive with a plan, not a script
Pick a meeting point, get there early while it's quiet, and give yourself permission to leave whenever you like. No plan needs to survive the whole night.
Join a meet-up before the day
Meet-ups are simple: pre-drinks, arriving together, a camping crew, or somewhere to say hello. You can see who's joining before you commit.
See who's going first
On every event page you can see which Country Kin are going or interested, look at their profiles and spot a friendly face for later.
Look after yourself
Meet publicly, tell somebody where you're going, keep your own way home sorted, and take a no gracefully if someone would rather keep to themselves.
Say hello first
The country scene is one of the friendliest out there. A “first time here?” goes a long way — for you and for the next person standing on their own.
