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…
