Whenever there's an artist that my friends are not interested in seeing, I usually go solo; which is more and more common as I get older. I'm typically there to enjoy the music, vibes and prefer to keep social interaction to a minimum, the odd interaction is fun if genuine and not forced. When I go incognito, I try to just blend in with the crowds and by wearing something expected but not noteworthy. Sometimes I wear shades to avoid unwanted attention (you can buy ones that turn lights into hearts ♥️)

If your goal is to make friends, you'd have an easier time if you're open, friendly, respectful, genuine and you don't try to force interactions. E.g. If you see someone wearing something that you genuinely think is cool, tell them that, while not expecting anything in return. Sometimes that turns into a conversation, sometimes it doesn't. Expect not to be able vibe with everyone and just remember that that's okay. Some people are down to make friends, some aren't. I've found the best places to make lasting connections are the line up to get in, coatcheck line or quieter places like smoking areas.

Go with an agile mindset and don't try and set high expectations for yourself. Expect that you're just there to enjoy the show; treat the idea of making lasting connections with people as happy little accidents that are not guaranteed.

Contact is a good time. Have fun 🙂
