Tinder Relaunched its Festival Mode as Concerts Return to the Norm

— April 15, 2022 — Lifestyle
Tinder, the world's most popular dating application, has relaunched a legacy feature named 'Festival Mode.' The application removed Festival Mode near the start of the CoViD-19 pandemic due to the regulations that prevented festivals and concerts from occurring. Now, with more and more large-scale events returning to the world of pop culture, Tinder has revived its festival matching feature.

With Festival Mode, Tinder users can mark down which events they are going to and be matched with individuals who will also attend these events. Tinder noted that its dating application's usage data spikes in local regions where an event is being held, as many festival-goers seek companions to attend the event with them. Festival Mode unlocks for each event approximately one month before the event occurs, giving users plenty of time to find a partner for the event.
