A friend asked me to accompany him to a music festival about 4 months ago, they aren't really my thing but I was single at the time and thought it would be a fun party/socialising event. Only about a week or two after we bought the tickets I started talking to a girl and we quickly moved to dating and now being in a committed relationship. I found out quickly that her birthday happens to be on the exact day that the festival is taking place, I initially thought oh well that's just unlucky but over the months as we grow closer I've decided that spending the day with her is more important so I've thought about selling my ticket. I explained all of this to my friend and he seemed very annoyed, which is understandable but I feel really guilty about this.
She hasn't asked me not to go or anything like that and as far as she knows I am still planning to go, but not only would I rather plan a nice day for her on her birthday but I also feel like the festival won't even be that fun especially if I feel like I'm missing out on my girlfriends birthday because of it. If I went back to the moment he asked me to go with him and I was already in a relationship I would decline even if it wasn't her birthday on that day, so It's not only because of the bad timing.

It's not cool to break a promise you've made, if you didn't want to go to the festival you should have said so from the start.
And your new gf will survive a birthday without you. You can celebrate with her a few days before or after instead.

I don't think missing a birthday is right, especially in a new relationship

If you really want to please your friend you could get your gf a ticket as a bd present, otherwise there's nothing you can really do since it's her birthday

I think "promise" is a bit dramatic, I just said yes to an invitation and paid for my own ticket. And I explained why I didn't say no from the beginning. I know my girlfriend will be fine without me on her birthday but like I said that is not the ONLY reason I no longer want to go, its also that the fun aspect has disappeared completely.

Agreed. Every guy's instinct is to follow the pussy, but friends will be with you if you treat them right, and the girls will come and go. Go to the festival, be a good friend. That'll look good to her too, that you're someone who can keep his commitments
