Concert Buddy, a New Tech Startup, Takes Four College Students On An All-Expense-Paid Trip To Coachella Music Festival

If Ticketmaster and BumbleBFF had a baby, that would be Concert Buddy. We've all been there—desperately wanting to see our favorite artist live but having no one to go with. Concert Buddy, an innovative app designed to match music lovers who want to attend concerts together, is solving this universal problem.
To celebrate its upcoming launch, Concert Buddy recently gave four college students the experience of a lifetime: an all-expenses-paid trip to Coachella. The platform focuses on fostering genuine connections while helping emerging artists promote their shows by connecting directly with college campuses and organizations. Concert Buddy also aims to support mid-tier artists by building stronger communities and expanding their fan bases.
A Coachella Dream Come True
This past April, Concert Buddy hosted a giveaway that perfectly showcased its mission—matching people who love music and creating unforgettable live music experiences. Four students from UCLA, USC, and LMU who had never met before were matched through the app and sent on a completely free trip to Coachella.
Everything was covered: tickets, transportation, accommodation, and food, all made possible through sponsorships from brands eager to connect with Gen Z, including Goli Nutrition, FHI Heat, and many others. Together, they supported a campaign that gave these students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience one of the world's most iconic music festivals.
What's Next for Concert Buddy
As the app prepares for its official launch later this year, more giveaways and events are already in the works. Concert Buddy is actively shaping how the next generation experiences live music by ensuring no one ever has to miss a show simply because they don't have someone to go with.
The platform represents more than just a matching service—it's building a community where music lovers can discover new artists, make lasting friendships, and create memories that go far beyond the final encore.
