Here are 6 tribes you’ll meet at festivals this summer
New app 6Tribes is shaking up the way we network – which tribe are you?

Whatever you’re into, you can connect with like-minded new people at festivals and beyond with new app 6Tribes.
Here’s a list of tribes you can join – both at summer festivals and on the app. Don’t miss out.

House lovers unite, your festival experience wouldn’t be the same without going mad for it alongside these guys to some bass music bangers.
But you don’t have to wait until you arrive at to the festival site to get involved – 6Tribes is just like joining a society at Fresher’s Fair or turning up at the campsite on a Friday, but it’s running all the time.
