Going solo to Boomtown?

You've got your ticket. You know the lineup. But none of your friends are into bass — or they can't make it this year.

You're not the only one. Thousands of ravers go to Boomtown solo every year. The difference? Some of them find their crew before they arrive.

FestivalMates connects you with people going to the same festival who actually listen to the same music. Not “I like a bit of everything” — real Spotify data. Real compatibility.
