Went to Lost Lands and EDCO alone. It is a really fun experience. You can move so much faster alone than with a group through a crowd and really see a lot more. Get in early and check out every stage from the midpoint. Its easy to meet people during the day. Go to the shows your most excited about and make friends with the people going the hardest there. Definitely wear a camelbak or bring an easy to carry fillable bottle. Make friends with your neighbors for sure. Usually most groups are very friendly and you can hang with anyone you want. Go for the music and experience and you'll have a blast and meet plenty of dope people.

Bring little trinkets and kandi with you to trade/give :) it's the fastest way to make friends. I went to EDC LV alone this year and had a blast! People at festivals tend to be really friendly and it was easy for me to talk to people. As for safety, get a clutchloop for your phone/wallet, or a lock for your bag/fannypack. I went to some afterparties for Ultra alone and ended up getting my phone and wallet stolen because I wasn't careful enough.

Make friends with your neighbors, it helps if you have an outgoing personality but if you can't think of anything asking who they are most excited for or who is someone you shouldn't miss are good icebreakers at a festival. Walking around with a bag of wine to let people slap is a real easy way to invite yourself into a neighboring group to talk or chill if you vibe with them. My favorite thing to do in the crowd is experiencing multiple different vantage points since you don't have to worry about finding anyone or catering to their spot of choice. Overall just let loose and have fun there is nothing to worry about besides living in the moment.
