Quick hit: A Reddit user on r/festivals shared a photoshoot they did with their partner to celebrate the festival scene — and the comments were full of love and solidarity. OP (Biggandwedge) wrote that his girlfriend is 37 and he’s 41, and the thread turned into a reminder that festival culture isn’t just for teenagers.
Why it matters: Festivals and rave culture span generations now. The post highlights how people in their 30s, 40s, and beyond are still showing up, dressing up, and supporting each other — often with more cash, better planning, and clearer boundaries than in younger years.
Selected reactions from the thread:
- “Never too old” — radrax
- “My festival buddies and I are in our 30s and 40s.” — AguaChiles92
- “This 59 1/2 year old raver thinks you’re crushing it!” — eastcoastfarmergirl
- “47 years young here!! Never too old!!! Rave to the grave!! 6 festivals and 17 shows already lined up for 2026 so far!!” — the_last_don_r
The vibe: Supportive. Plenty of praise for the couple’s outfits and energy, plus a few folks noting that adulthood often makes it easier to do the things you love. The post racked up 95 upvotes and 12 comments when it was shared on 2026-02-11.
If you’ve got throwback festival photos or recent shots from a festival shoot, drop them in the comments — age is just a number, and the scene’s big enough for everyone.
