Don’t miss your favorite act! Vodafone is launching a Glastonbury app that lets you create personalized lineups for the festival
- With the Vodafone app you can create personalized lineups of your favorite acts
- You can also choose to receive alerts for when you need to go out and see them
Next week, 210,000 excited festival-goers will head to Worthy Farm for what is arguably the best festival in the world: Glastonbury.
This year’s event will see several global superstars take the stage, including Elton John, the Arctic Monkeys and Lizzo.
But with the festival spanning a whopping 900 acres, making sure you’re organized enough to see your favorite acts is no easy feat.
Fortunately, there’s help this year in the form of Vodafone’s brand new Glastonbury app.
The app lets you create personalized lineups of your favorite acts, as well as alerts for when you should leave to see them in action.

Vodafone is this year’s Official Connectivity Partner of Glastonbury Festival.
Max Taylor, Vodafone’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: ‘Our partnership with Glastonbury has added another iconic British moment to our growing partnership portfolio.
‘As the new Official Connectivity Partner, we want to keep fans and festival goers more connected than before.
“We predict that people on the ground will use even more data, so it is essential to bring our reliable, award-winning network to its highest capacity ever.”
The app can be downloaded for free from the App Store And Google Play Storeand includes an interactive map to make it easier to navigate the 100 stages.
With over 3,000 artists this year, it can be difficult to organize who can be seen when.
For example, some stages are 40 minutes apart on foot, so it’s not just a matter of stopping by to see the next act.
To help you out, the app lets you create a personalized lineup and sends you notifications when it’s time to move on to the next act.
Other notable features include the built-in Worthy FM radio, which provides vital information and entertainment for those traveling to and from the festival, as well as once at the festival.

The launch of the app comes as Glastonbury organizers advised festival-goers not to bring disposable vapes as part of their efforts to ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ plastic.
The festival has updated the packaging guidelines on the website, which now state ‘not to bring disposable vapes’.
It remains unclear how – or if – this rule can be enforced, and Glastonbury declined to comment.
But there is the suggestion that the e-cigarettes could be confiscated when festival-goers are searched as they enter.
