People who are friends/meet up for the sole reason of going to events, concerts, festivals, or gigs, often due to
real friends (or lack of
real friends) not sharing the same taste in music or said events, concerts, festivals, or gigs.
Often, people
looking for "gig buddies" conjugate online, in places such as Last FM, to find others who share similar musical tastes, and as such are willing to go to events together, despite being complete strangers.
