If you’ve ever been to Glastonbury, you’ll know finding your way around isn’t always easy – nor is finding the way back to your tent after a day of singing, dancing and, erm, whatever else you’ve been doing.
Thankfully, this year’s official app has just dropped, and with it, some very handy features for helping you navigate the famous Worthy Farm.
Launched with the festival’s official partner Vodafone, it includes a detailed map of the 1,000-acre site.
Users can also navigate around grounds by dropping pins on locations such as their tent and where they parked their car, and to set meeting points to regroup with friends before or after performances.
But that’s not all it can do. Craving something specific?
Festival goers can also filter it for specific food stalls, camping shops and other stands, as well as using it to find the Deafzone and the Sensory Calm Space.

Other additions include a ‘Discover feature’ that works in conjunction with Spotifyto help festival goers discover music from performing artists at the festival.
When users connect their Spotify account, the app will suggest 10 artists from the festival line-up to check out, as well as provide a wider selection of recommendations through the ‘Discover More’ option.

Emily Eavis, Glastonbury Festival co-organiser, said: ‘It’s great to see so many new features in this year’s Glastonbury App, and I hope it will enhance everyone’s experience of the festival, whether they’re watching at home or joining us at the farm.’
Rob Winterschladen, consumer director of Vodafone UK, said: ‘Glastonbury Festival is one of the premier events of the summer, and we want to make sure we deliver an app that helps visitors get the most out of the festival, along with connectivity to match.
‘We’re delighted to have delivered not one, but a number of never-before-seen features to our 2024 Festival App. Map Pinning, Spotify integration and the upgraded Line-up features will massively benefit fans and make their Glastonbury experience even more seamless.’
The app is available to download from the App Store and Google Play Store.
