Festival Dating
Meet someone into the same lineups – before the gates open.
Meeting someone at a festival is half chance and half timing – and it's a lot easier if you've already found people who'll be in the same field. Raver Dating is a dating site for the rave and electronic music crowd, and that includes people who live for festival season.
Meet before, not just during
The days before a festival are the easiest time to connect: you've got something to talk about, plans to compare and a reason to say hello in person. Put the festivals you're going to on your profile and you'll quickly see who's into the same lineups.
Going on your own?
You won't be alone in that. A Ticketmaster survey reported by Dazed found that 29% of people had been to a festival on their own by 2025, up from 8% in 2019. If you'd rather not go completely solo, saying you're looking for friendship as well as dating opens up a lot more options – see find a rave buddy.
Festival-friendly features
- Daily matches: suggestions shaped by your interests, age range and distance.
- Group chats: private chats for up to 50 people – useful for a crew heading to the same weekend. The pricing page shows which membership includes them.
- ID verification: free, with a badge on your profile, so it's easier to tell who's genuine before you meet.
- Town only: other members see your town, never your exact location.
Profile tips for festival season
- List the festivals you've booked and the ones on your wish list.
- Name the stages or artists you'll be glued to.
- Say whether you camp or stay nearby.
- Say whether you're after a date, a crew, or both.
Good questions for a festival match
Which festival would you go to every year if you could only pick one? Who's the act you'd skip a meal to see? Camping or a hotel? First stage of the day, or straight to the headliners? Questions like these get past small talk fast – and tell you whether you'd actually enjoy the same weekend.
Packing for two
The basics don't change when you've got company: earplugs, a water bottle and, in summer, a spray bottle. Pace yourselves – it's a marathon, not a sprint. Our guide to taking a date to their first rave has more.
After the festival
The best festival connections are the ones that carry on afterwards. If you met someone over a lineup, keep the conversation going on Raver Dating and see whether you'd enjoy a club night or a day party together once you're home.
Day festivals and shorter events
Not every festival means four days in a tent. Day festivals and day raves – like the 3pm-to-8pm parties that have spread across the UK – make an easy, low-pressure first meet. (Source: Tempus.)
Staying safe at festivals
Agree a meeting point that's easy to find, keep your phone charged and tell a friend who you're meeting. On the site, you'll get a warning if someone pushes to switch apps straight away, and you can block or report anyone. Our safety page has more.

I'm a shaman, personal trainer and passionate natural bodybuilder since 17. Body, mind and soul are one to me. 🌀I live completely free, traveling in my motorhome wherever intuition leads. No fixed home, no conventional rules. Just nature, music, adventure and consciousness. My shamanic path explores ancient wisdom, plants, fungi, nature spirits and hidden depths of existence. I seek a fit, healthy, spiritually awakened woman, whole within herself, ready to explore life on every level. Physical chemistry matters, but true attraction is when our souls ignite. ❤️ Raving is sacred freedom to me. I crave deep love, conscious intimacy, wild adventures and a connection beyond words. No masks. No cages. No games. Just two free souls choosing each other.

I am a very cheerful and sincere person. I like to start each new day with a smile and finish it with a smile too. In life, there are many reasons for sadness and I understand that you cannot always feel happy, but still I think that you need the most positive attitude to life and then everything will be fine. Would you like to have a faithful, kind, bright and energetic lady by your side who knows how to take care of herself and her man? If your answer is "yes", then I am just the right person for you! Besides, I have a good sense of humor and I am full of ideas. You will never be bored with me)
