Yes. It is fun, especially if you are open to meeting new people.

I have gone to several shows alone. I have not regretted it once.

As a 34 year old that likes indy music and living in Appalachia, with no kids and a wife, it is hard to find people to see weird acts a state away with. So I just started going to shows alone.

Best experience was driving to DC for a night to see Courtney Barnett and Chastity Belt. It was at Club 930, and I had a ton of fun. I got to chat a few with the bass player from Chastity Belt, which was rad.

I drove to Richmond last spring for a show at some little art gallery. It was sucha cool venue! I drank Irish Car bombs at the Gwar Bar on that trip to and was alnost too drunk to walk back to the hotel.

I saw Godspeed You Black Emperor at some old library in Pittsburgh! No regrets! I went to the mountains to hike last summer and met a chick that was at the same show at a bar!

Just be open to the experience. You already have things in common with the other people there. Have a brew or two to loosen up, if you need to.
