An increasing number of women are defying social norms and embracing the joy of attending gigs solo. Once apprehensive about safety concerns and social judgment, women like Nat Arney, Sam Espensen, and Lake Faith have discovered the empowerment and liberation that comes with independent gig attendance. Statistics show that while women face gendered barriers, with nearly 73% never attending a concert alone, the future holds promise for increased confidence and safety. Initiatives like Taylor Swift’s Swifties sharing safety tips and friendship bracelets, as well as Facebook groups for solo festivalgoers, foster a sense of community and support. Ultimately, the message is clear: everyone should feel confident, safe, and happy attending gigs alone, regardless of gender, sexuality, or background.
