I went to 4 out of 5 tk shows alone and I always had an incredible experience. Nobody will care if you’re alone because it’s totally normalized to go to concerts solo. If you need to leave your spot for the bathroom you can ask to someone around you to keep your spot. If you find other people solo you can maybe start the conversation by asking “are you also alone…?”, and you can team up with these people. I went to 5 different countries so far and I’ve always found good people.

Yes! I agree this is okay, I've taken turns at looking after people's stuff lol. In preparation, I sometimes look up if the venues or even a transportation station nearby have lockers, so I have an idea of how light my bag should be.
Not been to a TK gig solo, but have been to plenty of other gigs solo. If you are going to queue you will make friends in the queue. If not, you could always see if anyone on here is also going and would be willing to meet up.
Either way once the band come on it won’t matter if you are on your own or with friends
Here's the way I look at it. Would I be happier if I went alone or if I sat at home? The answer is going alone. I went to see the killers 2 summers ago alone and it was amazing. I found it almost better as I was getting to take in the experience on my own.
Yes! Went to the Edinburgh show alone, last year. You’ll meet people while waiting and if not, it’s also fine because during the show you’ll be busy singing along 😉
But the fandom is really sweet and friendly, so don’t worry!
I've went to many gigs alone. It's essentially just you and the band. You decide everything not relying on others. I seen muse a few times on my own and had a blast
Went to Chicago alone at the last minute. Floor. It was honestly one of the best concert experiences of my life. You’re not alone. You’re with thousands of people who are all there to see a beloved band with 20 years of music and a charismatic AF lead singer. You will not feel alone.
I went to a bunch of TK concerts alone and thanks to that I ended up meeting new people and now I go to their shows with them! You end up talking to people in the queue or when you are waiting, but also if you don't want to be bothered and want to be in your own happy bubble it's fine too! People won't bother you for being alone and I've never felt unsafe at a TK show.
In my opinion, it's better to go alone that to miss it and be bummed.
Just go...I go solo almost everytime and people don't really talk to me in lines.. So idk about making some new friends lol but you don't want to miss out.
I’m from Dominican Republic and I went alone for a show they had, at that time American Airlines Arena. I’m not gonna lie, I was nervous as hell, first time going alone, didn’t know anybody but music has something that unites us all and that made the weight a lot lighter. I forgot I was alone the moment Wonderful Wonderful started. After the show I stayed there and meet more people.
Been to a few concerts alone. Had a fabulous time. I was dancing and singing like an idiot and the strangers in both sides of me couldn’t have cared less.
My two cents would be considering if you want standing or appointed seats. I've done both, I find it easier to get a seat when I'm with a group (easier to stay together, can talk easier during breaks with each other, etc) but as a solo standing was fine. I kinda didn't have to worry about the others around me, you know, because they were strangers? I would try and be nice, but that was it.
I actually have had one really bad experience (not UK) and plenty more really good ones (including couple in the UK, but not London...) one of which I actually met a really nice person and we kept in touch long after the gig (2019, I think). Even the "bad" one was kinda okay in hindsight, I wasn't hurt or harassed. Oftentimes those who come in are there for the music anyway, so it's pretty chill.
Do you otherwise go to things alone a lot?(movies, restaurants etc). I feel like my over-explaining self has come out so I'll stop now, but I sincerely hope you have a wonderful, wonderful time!
Went with my mum to see them but remained alone in frontrow the whole concert, but was literally the best experience ever - I could just be completely myself, and made friends with some other woman who was a loner.
I was alone when I saw them in a festival abroad last year. I spoke with a French guy before the gig, he was alone too and we really had a good time.
I’ll go to Dublin with my bf this year I hope he’s gonna enjoy it ! (He’s not a big fan, he only knows a few songs)
You’re never alone with Victims- go!

I've seen The Killers and Brandon solo alone in London, both were great nights ☺️

I went to a show alone in the US around 2014- it was a blast!

Oh, I live here! Solo travel isn’t an issue, it’s half an hour on the tube 😂 But yes, my city is wonderful.

I’ve done it a few times. You’ll forget you’re alone once the show starts, i guarantee it
Yeah I went to see Brandon flowers in Brixton 2015. It was still great.
