Tinder Announces New IRL Singles Events
Tinder is hosting IRL singles events across the U.S. to kick off a summer of love. Held in partnership with the trending Chaotic Singles Party, Tinder is looking to bridge the gap between offline and online connections over the coming months.
In a recent survey, 4 out of 10 young singles told Tinder that they’ve recently split from a partner, or are planning to, in order to be single for the spring and summer months. In light of this news, a host of new IRL singles events are coming to individuals over 21 in the U.S.
The events are being held in partnership with Chaotic Singles Party, a dating events company created by Cassidy Davis. Davis went viral on TikTok after she hosted a party where her friends were required to bring someone they’d just matched with on a dating app.
Tinder users will have early ticket access to the series events before they open to the general public. Tickets cover two guests, the Tinder user and the new match they’re looking to connect with further.
The dates for these events are as follows:
- June 16: Los Angeles (West Hollywood)
- July 14: New York (Midtown)
- July 30: Los Angeles (Venice)
- August 4: New York (Williamsburg)
- August 11: Chicago (West Loop)

“The prospect of summer love brings a sense of optimism that’s almost infectious,” says Stephanie Danzi, SVP of Global Marketing at Tinder.
“We know many of our members are excited to make new connections after a long winter out of the dating game. In fact, 50% of young singles we surveyed are currently looking for a relationship, so we wanted to give them a fun new way to meet new people that extended beyond the app”, she explained.
“The numbers don’t lie, a lot of people will be entering their ‘single era’ this summer,” says Tinder’s Resident Relationship Expert, Devyn Simone.
“Re-entering the dating game can be a lot of fun, but also daunting. Similar to being on Tinder, having a space where you know everyone’s single and on the same page can take some of the pressure off and allows you to be more confident in shooting your shot”, Simone added.
