I wasn't too sure whether to post this on here or /mu/ but I thought I'd try here first.
Basically, I want to go to a music festival abroad in June. Problem is none of my friends seem up for going. I don't want to spend the entire week alone, so how the hell do I find/make friends at a festival?
I did go to a city festival abroad last year and succeeded in making friends but this one is a field/camping festival so I imagine it might be quite different.
>field/camping festival
It will be even easier for you to make friends so

Will it? But isn't everyone usually already in their own group?
>>18146653
Yeah, but from my experience these groups are enough drunk and open-minded to meet new people and have fun with
If you don't act like an unbearable squatter there is no reason people rejects you

Well, my plan at the other festival (in Iceland) was:
>listen out for English speaking people
>approach them, ask for directions or recommendations or whatever
>ask where they are from, why they are here etc
>continue talking
Should I just do that again?
>>18146661
Well yeah just engaging a conversation generally works
If they're not friendly/assholes you'll see it quickly

Look around for tour groups going to the festival and join.
Or advertise online or at local uni or music clubs for travel companions
