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.
