This weekend is the first of two Coachella Music Festival weekends, which means singles from around the world have flocked to the desert for music, fashion, and fun. Music festivals are basically the perfect storm for finding a date: good vibes, shared tastes, and a ton of people looking to connect. Whether you’re looking for a spark that lasts the weekend or something a little more lasting, here are some low-key, fun tips to help you turn those beats into heartbeats. ??

1. Dress to vibe, not just impress

You don’t need to go full glitter cannon (unless that’s your thing), but a fun outfit or band tee can be a great conversation starter. Bonus points for anything that shows off your personality—think funky sunglasses, a vintage hat, or a custom tote bag.

2. Know your lineup

If you know which acts you’re most excited for, you’ll naturally find your people. Chat up the folks waiting at the same stage or in line for merch. “You here for (insert band)? Me too!” is a classic opener for a reason.

3. Dance like someone is watching

Dancing is magnetic. You don’t need TikTok-worthy moves—just show you’re having fun. People are drawn to others who are genuinely enjoying themselves. You might just lock eyes mid-shuffle and boom—festival date secured.

4. Use your downtime

Waiting for the next set? Stuck in the food truck line? These are prime moments for striking up conversations. Ask someone if they’ve tried the tacos, or which act they’re hyped for next. Instant connection.

5. Share the essentials

Need sunscreen? Got extra water? Sharing is caring—and a super smooth way to spark conversation. It’s the little gestures that can open the door.

6. Don’t cling—roam

If you’re with friends, take little solo detours. You’re way more approachable when you’re not in a tight group. Plus, it gives you room to follow the vibe if someone cute catches your eye.

7. Skip the awkward intro—use OBC

Want to show up already knowing someone who’s into the same bands and looking to vibe? That’s where the OBC dating app comes in. You can connect with fellow festival-goers ahead of time, swap playlists, and maybe even plan to meet up between sets. No more leaving it to chance!
