Have you ever wanted to go to a concert or event but were unable to do so because no one around was free? People enjoy going to fun activities, such as concerts, but their enjoyment is restricted if they are by themselves. There are occasions when you have no one to go with to these events since your friends or family are busy. Don’t worry if you aren’t able to find a partner in crime. An online community called Gig Buddy, started by a marketing strategist will help you find companions for art, music and cultural events in your city.
What Exactly Is Gig Buddy & How To Join It?
After growing dissatisfied with her lack of companionship at music events, Anna Dias founded Gig Buddy in March 2023, as reported by Deccan Herald. She revealed that she became weary of persuading her brother and friends to attend music gigs with her. The fact that she was alone led to her not being able to attend many gigs. On social media, she expressed her dissatisfaction, which struck a chord with many people and inspired her to start an online community.
With 222 members in the Bengaluru chapter, the WhatsApp community is active in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. As the year draws to a close, Anna revealed that more than 30 new members have joined the group in the past two weeks. If you are eager to be part of this community or need a companion to attend events, you just have to message Anna on Instagram to join. Her Instagram handle is @theannadias.
According to Anna, going to cultural and artistic events with others improves the whole experience. While going solo can be enjoyable as well, she said that going in a group offers an extra degree of security and facilitates conversations, learning new stuff, carpooling, and expense sharing.

Upcoming Event & Concert Plans Of This Online Community
In the upcoming year, Anna intends to provide a transport service for members of the group, providing a pick-up bus for well-attended events and a few standard drop-off spots. To assist members in connecting and getting to know one another, she also intends to create group events and get-togethers. There are people in the community who are between the ages of 25 and 55.
The group is always looking for concerts with international or Kannada rock performers. While there are some fans of theatre and folk art, musical events are the most well-liked ones.
The group ensures fair pricing by promoting events and facilitating ticket sales and purchases. The group also has some rules for the members, like if they upsell tickets at outrageous prices, they will be kicked out, and those who oversell or behave inappropriately may be admonished or asked to leave.
Go and join this online community if you also need a buddy to attend amazing events like concerts.
