Little by little, it seems that everything is returning to normal. After a pause that has become eternal, this summer the music festivals will return with practically no restrictions. Tinder knows very well that many festivalgoers and music lovers usually contact each other through the Internet in forums and other platforms to create groups on Facebook, Whatsapp and Telegram and thus get to know each other a little before the event. And so the new Festival Mode of the llama app was born.
Tinder enhances its ‘in real life’ with its Festival Mode
One in three singles on Tinder plan to go to a music festival or concert this summer. On the other hand, 75% of singles between the ages of 18 and 39 believe that getting to know a little bit of other people online before meeting in person can take some of the pressure off and make a better impression.
Until now, it was not uncommon to see people who created groups on social networks to get to know each other before going to a large festival, that is, those events that last several days and in which a lot of young people coexist in a camping while it lasts. the festival. Tinder has seen its opportunity there, and has wanted to focus its application to fulfill that function natively. To do this, they have partnered with the live entertainment company Live Action and with several event producers (AEG Presents and Superstruct Entertainment) to enhance their ‘in real life’ tools, which have been out of the game due to the pandemic. This is how the Festival Mode was born, a native functionality of Tinder in which we will be able to mark in the app the music festivals that we are going to attend this summer. In response, Tinder will put us in contact in advance with some of the most similar assistants to our tastes.
With this, everything is advantages. They will have fulfilled their mission and you will arrive at the festival already having a series of friends and possible crushes , so you won’t be able to feel alone.
How does Tinder Festival Mode work?
Festival Mode appears in the ‘ Explore ‘ space of the app. From there, each user can select the festivals they are going to attend this summer. All of this information can be entered a month before each show takes place .
At the moment, it will only be applied in some specific festivals. However, it is possible that it will reach many more events if it ends up curdling this new function.
What events will it be available for?
In our country, the date chosen for this new Festival Mode is Sónar Barcelona , which takes place between June 16 and 18.
If you are more into traveling around Europe from festival to festival, you should know that they have also chosen festivals such as Parookaville in Germany, the Sziget festival in Hungary and Lollapalooza in Paris and Berlin.
On the other hand, the United States will be the country where we can attend more events with Festival Mode. There will be 7, including EDC Las Vegas , EDC Orlando , Hard Summer and Bonnaroo .
