r/Raves

This year I finally bit the bullet and went to EDC solo. Honestly, it was an incredible experience — I vibed on my own, explored at my own pace, and really got lost in the music. But throughout the weekend, there were so many moments where it felt like people around me were trying to connect, and I kept second-guessing myself.

Things like:

-girls slowly moving closer into my space while dancing
-people constantly looking back at me
- little moments like hands brushing against mine or my body

Even though I was rolling and feeling good, part of me still stayed stuck in my head telling me I was probably just being awkward or reading too much into things.

By the end of all three nights, I realized I never actually acted on any of those moments or made any real connections, and I honestly regret it.

For people who’ve gone solo to festivals/raves — what’s your experience with this? When you feel that kind of energy or attention from people around you, how do you actually break the ice without overthinking it? I’m totally open to making friends and meeting people, but in those moments I get shy and freeze up.

Does anybody can help me choose between those two subwoofers and tell me why one or another is superior 😁

I want to use it for Raves and for Weddings if that helps anybody to choose an specific sub for me 😂

On night two of EDCLV 2026, there was a group of eight people at the front left side of the V!P deck doing something extremely disturbing and dangerous during Kaskade & Above and Beyond’s sets.

The group consisted of four men and four women, approximately in their 30s–40s. They were openly rubbing c*caine onto people around them and blowing it into people’s faces. They were speaking Chinese the entire time and clearly assumed nobody around them understood them, but I’m fluent and understood the full conversation.

They were laughing about bringing the c*caine from China and joking that they hoped people would pass out after being exposed to it. One of the men even said he didn’t care about wasting the coke because he had “so much dough” and just wanted to see if anything bad would happen to the people around him.

At one point, one of the women blew c*caine directly into the face of a girl standing near me. The girl immediately started panicking and said she had been sober for 11 years and was devastated that someone had violated her sobriety like that.

On top of that, the entire group was incredibly aggressive and disrespectful. They were shoving people with both hands, grabbing people, pushing people to the ground to get back to the rail, and one of the women even kicked another girl to force her to move.

I reported the situation to security, but nothing was done.

I want people to be aware this happened and stay alert. What these individuals were doing was not only disgusting behavior, but genuinely dangerous.

Final set of the night, this girl wearing a 🇵🇸 Flag, she saw my crew was slowing down. She went straight to my gf (who is the sleepiest girl) and got her ass to DANCE for the final set of the weekend! I would like to say THANK YOU for being such a VIBE. THANK YOU for being such a beautiful human. This is what makes raves such a special place and why we should all try and do a little better at preserving PLUR.

Hey everyone, I know some of us had a bad experience or almost got the day ruin by fake ravers and unplur people last night but let's show people that this isn't really how EDCLV culture is. Let's forget and forgive the people on day 2 John Summit crowd incident and move on. You guys are all better than this and lets not bring negative.

Also if people are trying to get out of the crowd please show empathy and create a path way for them to leave, it's way faster to do that and let people pass by super quick and out of your way.

It is what it is, but for tonight LET'S GO OUT WITH A BANG AND END IT IN A GREAT NOTE!!! Let's make sure we all BE FUCKING NICE to each other because we are here 1 reason!!! THIS IS IT!!! DAY 3 OF EDCLV 30TH ANNIVERSARY!!! LET'S BRING POSITIVE AND PLUR ENERGY tonight!!! See y'all soon!!!! - FELLOW RAVE DAD

MY UNOFFICIAL RULES:

1. If you are leading your group to leave the pit or stage, please ask/ let the people nicely that you are trying to leave and thank them.

2. If you are trying to lead your group and people let you through, don't I repeat don't stop infront of that person/ group's spot.

3. BE FUCKING NICE!!!

4. A sidequest Challenge to you: BE THE FIRST PERSON TO INITIATE THE PLUR KANDI TRADE WITH A FELLOW RAVER that you don't know so you have a token to remember your EDCLV event then just getting wasted.

5. GO EXPLORE ALL PARTS OF EDCLV IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO. Your friends and group will always be there after the event.

6. GET LOST, WONDER ROUND WITH NO PLANS.

7. STAY UNTIL SUNRISE TONIGHT

8. HAVE FUN AND STAY SAFE

Zkouším sílu redditu! (F26)

-Jelikož se většina mých rave parťáků rozutekli po světě nebo založili rodiny, hledám nové tváře na vymetání klubíků, fesťáků a rave akcí celkově!:) samozřejmě bude plus, když bychom trávili čas i jinak. Je to smutný, ale nemám s kým protepat střevíce popřípadě sklouznout na afterku:D

- Žiju pár let v Brně, jsem pro každou špatnost a dovolím si říct, že se semnou lidi nenudí. Snažím se být aktivní člověk, takže na žádný nápad neřeknu ne!:D 

Jednoduše hledám lidi, se kterými bud moct nejen protepat střevíc, ale i žít. Skupina přátel, co spolu žijí život.
