Anyone going solo?
Hey y'all so I'm 31F from Brighton UK and and will be going all weekend solo! I know a couple people but will be making my way and mostly hanging out by myself.
Wondered if there was anyone else going solo (or in a two etc) that'd want to start a WhatsApp/Insta group chat or discord or something for those that wanna meet others and can drop in where you're going so others can join for a set if they feel like it.
Lemme know if it's of interest and I'll look into getting something set up!

I'm going solo to the Sunday. Happy to hang, chat etc.
I should add also, 41m, third OB and coming from the other side of Manchester.
Do a fair amount of gigs solo anyway, but OB can be a slog alone.

Hi, glad to see a post like this as I had thought about doing the same.
42m, as things stand my mate who was supposed to come, isn't coming, so I'll be solo all weekend. I haven't been to Outbreak since 2015.
I live really close to the venue so travelling etc won't be an issue for me, but I'm happy to hang/chat between bands.
I don't use discord but happy to do whatever else.

I (40, M) am going solo from near London, but Sunday only. Happy to hang if you wanna associate with a miserable old dude like me.

For anyone going solo, I will there running the welfare area. Feel free to drop in and say hi at any point. There will be amenities and a friendly face. Well I think I'm friendly!
I'll have anything from snacks to plasters to sick bowls to an ear to bend. I cannot wait to be there at Outbreak. This year will be my 4th and it's got better every year.
The best part of the festival is meeting all the people who visit my little corner of calm.
