A heartfelt Reddit thread on r/lostlandsmusicfest spotlighted a relatable moment for many: longtime rave partners stepping into the solo festival scene after breakups. One user nervously shared their plan to attend Lost Lands alone for the first time after nine years with their partner.
The responses spilled over with encouragement. Festival veterans counseled the OP to "Do it afraid, do it sad, just do it," while others revealed how solo experiences at Lost Lands became years of personal growth and healing. Advice poured in about leaning into new connections, pushing comfort zones, and seeing Lost Lands as a transformational journey rather than just a music fest.
TyDyeBear’s words summed it up best: say “Yes” to what the festival throws at you and trust the process. The thread became more than advice—it turned into a virtual support squad ready to meet up or offer empathy on site, proving the fest’s uniquely welcoming spirit.
With Lost Lands 2025 just around the corner (September 19–21, Thornville, Ohio), featuring headliners like Excision, REZZ, Illenium, and Andy C, plus new inclusivity-focused camping zones like “Dino Divas,” this year’s fest promises plenty of space for solo explorers.
If a recent breakup has you hesitating, this community’s message is clear: Lost Lands is still the place to find fresh friendships, unforgettable new memories, and perhaps the best journey of self-discovery—all on your own terms.
