A short Reddit thread from festival fans reignited a familiar request: a dedicated place for single ravers to meet. The post boiled down to one simple wish — an easy, scene-friendly way to find a ‘rave bae’ who actually understands PLUR, kandi, and a midnight bass drop.
What the community floated
- Use existing scene hubs — raver subreddits, local Facebook groups and Discord servers are the quickest way to meet people who actually go to the same fests.
- Organize meetups — daytime meet-and-greets, campsite hangouts, or stage-front pre-shows that are clearly labeled as singles-friendly.
- Create visible signals — flags, totems, or matching kandi to make it easier to find like-minded people in a crowd.
- Music-first matchmaking — suggestions favored options that match people by what stages or artists they’re into rather than by generic profiles.
- Keep safety and PLUR front and center — the strongest responses reminded folks to respect consent and look out for one another.
Quick rules for meeting someone at a festival
- Be honest about your intentions — nobody likes surprise expectations mid-festival.
- Plan public meetups — daytime spaces, merch booths, or info tents are safer than late-night corners.
- Tell friends — share plans and locations; set a check-in time.
- Swap socials first — trade Instagram or Discord handles before getting too deep.
- Use clear identifiers — a bright flag, unique outfit, or kandi code makes you easier to spot in a crowd.
- Respect consent — PLUR applies to connecting as much as it does to dancing.
The conversation showed there’s appetite for a raver-native way to meet people — whether that’s better use of existing community channels or someone building a dedicated music-first meetup space. For now, the scene’s best tools are its own groups, clear meetups, and the old-school festival rules: be kind, be safe, and trade a little kandi before you trade numbers.
