For fans heading to GRiZ’s Seven Stars without a group this year, the festival’s organizers have a new offer: a built-in circle of company.They have announced a new program called ‘Bass Friends Forever,’ a daily meet-up designed specifically for attendees who are heading to the event alone.
Announcing the initiative on social media, organizers said they had read countless posts from people planning to attend solo in 2026, each one expressing a mix of nerves and excitement about the trip ahead.Adding a feature aimed at these travelers fits with the community-first branding GRiZ has cultivated over the years.
The move also reflects a broader shift happening across the festival industry.As ticket prices an travel costs climb due to inflationary pressures, promoters have increasingly looked for ways to lower the barrier for solo attendance, a category of festivalgoer that was once rare but has become common enough to warrant its own programming.
Camp gatherings, solo raver groups organized through apps, and now official meet-up series have all emerged as responses to that demand.GRiZ will deliver three performances at the festival, which returns to the Oak Ridge Estate (also known as Lockn’ Farm) in Arrington, Virginia from October 9-11.
This year’s lineup also features Crankdat, Ganja White Night, Gramatik and many more as well as three artists who were recently named to the EDM.com Class of 2026: AVELLO, A Little Sound and LYNY.Details about the schedule for ‘Bass Friends Forever’ have not yet been released, but organizers said more information will be announced soon.
What is clear is the underlying promise: nobody at Seven Stars has to spend the weekend truly by themselves.Tickets to Seven Stars are available here.
