Vodafone has launched the new Official Glastonbury Festival App for 2024, packed with exciting, never-before-seen features, to give Glastonbury fans the ultimate experience at Worthy Farm.
A landmark partnership with Spotify sees its ‘Discover’ feature able to recommend artists performing at the festival based on fans’ Spotify listening habits.
Additional features include: Map Pinning, which allows festival fans to set waypoints to meet their friends, find their tent, and remember where they parked their car; Shareable Line-Ups, so fans can see who their friends are watching; and improved Line-ups, which allows users to spot when their favourite acts overlap.
For the first time, fans can also filter the map for food stalls, camping shops and official merchandise stands, allowing foodies to track down their favourite Mexican, Thai, or veggie burgers with ease.
The Official Glastonbury Festival App, powered by Vodafone, is now available to download for free on iOS and Android
For the first time ever, fans will be able to link their Spotify account to the official Glastonbury app, which will provide them with personalised recommendations on artists performing at the festival based on their listening habits.
When connected to their Spotify account, the app will serve users with their top 10 artists from the Line-up, in addition to a wider selection of recommendations via the Discover More option. This makes it perfect for discovering a hot new artist or spotting an existing favourite they may have missed in the packed line-up.
Vodafone and Glastonbury announce landmark new partnership
Vodafone’s award winning network will keep Festival-goers at the iconic event connected.
The new app also includes several major upgrades to the Line-up feature. Fans will be able to share their Line-up with friends within the app, allowing them to highlight their must-see acts, find out who their friends plan to see, and plan their day accordingly.
The new improved Line-up also highlights when one or more of your favourited artists overlap, helping festivalgoers prepare for those inevitable clashes, and make the most of this year’s amazing line-up and stacked schedule.
Further changes to the Line-up give fans the ability to:
pin their favourite stages to the top, saving them from scrolling down every time to find their favourite acts;
view performances grouped by stage, so festivalgoers can plot out their schedule based on who’s nearby, while saving on walking time; and
share their chosen line-up on social media before and after the festival.

All-new Map Pinning allows festivalgoers to drop pins anywhere on their festival map and share them with their friends. Fans can also filter the map for food stalls, camping shops and official merchandise stands.
All-new Map Pinning is another headline feature, allowing festivalgoers to drop pins anywhere on their festival map and share them with their friends. This can be used to pin locations such as your tent and where you parked your car, as well as to set meeting points to regroup before big acts – a massive benefit in Glastonbury’s 1,000-acre festival grounds.
Further additions include new directional navigation for the Glastonbury Map, to help fans move between stages more easily, as well as the ability to filter the map for food stalls, camping shops and official merchandise stands, allowing foodies to track down their favourite Mexican, Thai, or veggie burgers with ease.
There are also a number of revamps to the Search & Accessibility features, helping fans easily search artists, find Glastonbury’s many accessible campsites and viewing platforms, and locate areas such as Deafzone and the Sensory Calm Space.
