Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
I've done VIP solo both times and had no problem making friends with my neighbors. Ironically, I made more friends at L2 when VIP was wide open than at L3 when it was sold out and as crowded as GA. Just cook bacon and make coffee in the morning and you will be fine. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.
4th Lockn but first time solo - VIP or GA?

If it matters to your answer, I'm 56, I like to party within reason, and I am not shy but not especially outgoing. I have made all Lockns except the first, tent camping for each. In 2014 I did Family Camping (with my son at the end of a college visit trip); in 2015 I did VIP with my wife; and in 2016 I did GA with my brother (but came in in Friday evening, so ended up camping where big stage appears to be this year, not in main GA). I've done nine Bonnaroos in a row, all in a tent (some GA, some VIP, some KOA), so I'm very comfortable with the fest life, but I've never done one solo. And as noted I have never done Lockn in true GA.
Thoughts?

But although I camped solo I had a lot of friends and family at the festivals to hang with, including the folks here. But out at the showfield and the dining tent I found there were so many solo's that anyone standing nearby became a friend.
Sounds like you've done it enough to assess the vibe. Also your (and my) age group is prominent at Lockn (can't speak for last year).

ps I come to every festival solo and always leave with a bunch of new friends. Does Lockn' sell solo VIP tix? So many of the festivals I attend only sell them in pairs so I've never been VIP (and too cheap to go that way!)

soon in the near future and we will be providing pick up locations as well..We may reduce the requirements this year so that instead of being on call for 8 hours it is like 7.88 or something along those lines...
