How It Works

From solo to squad in 3 steps

1
🎵

Connect Spotify

Link your Spotify account and we'll map your music taste — your top artists, genres, and listening patterns. This data powers your compatibility scores with other ravers. We only read your data; we never change anything on your account.

2
🎪

Browse Festivals

Pick the festivals you're attending from our database of 100+ events across Europe — with full lineups of 290+ artists. See who else is going, check attendee counts, and plan your schedule before tickets sell out.

👥

Match & Squad Up

See your Mate Score with every other raver — a compatibility percentage based on real listening overlap. Match with people going to the same festivals, form a squad of 3–8, and coordinate packing, costs, and meetup points.

Why Music Taste?

Most social apps match you based on a profile you write yourself — but self-reported interests are unreliable. Everyone says they like “a bit of everything.”

Music taste is the strongest compatibility signal for festival friendships. Your Spotify data doesn't lie. When someone listens to the same DJs you do, you already have something real in common — before you've ever spoken.

FestivalMates calculates a Mate Score for every pair of users: 60% weight on shared genres, 40% on shared artists. The result is a percentage that tells you exactly how compatible your music taste is — from “Good Vibes” (60%+) to “Soul Mates” (90%+).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FestivalMates free?
Yes! Core features are completely free — matching, squads, set planner, packing lists, and more. FestivalMates Pro (€4.99/month or €49.99/year) unlocks unlimited vibes, streak freezes, full leaderboards, and the Pro badge.
How does Spotify matching work?
When you connect Spotify, we analyze your top artists, genres, and listening patterns. We then calculate a compatibility score (Mate Score) with every other user — the higher the overlap in your actual listening data, the higher the score. No self-reported interests, no guessing.
Is it safe to meet people from an app?
Safety is built into FestivalMates. Everyone signs up with Spotify or social auth (no fake profiles), squads form weeks before the festival (not last-minute), and you're always in a group of 3–8 — never a 1-on-1 stranger meetup.
What festivals are covered?
We have 100+ festivals across Europe including Tomorrowland, Defqon.1, Awakenings, Mysteryland, Sonar, Creamfields, Parookaville, and more. We add new festivals every week — you can also submit missing ones and we'll add them within 24 hours.
Can I go to a festival alone and still use this?
That's exactly what FestivalMates is for. Most of our users are solo festival-goers or small groups looking to connect with compatible people. You match before the festival, form a squad, and show up with friends instead of alone.
