Vodafone has launched an upgraded official Glastonbury Festival App for the iconic event later this month packed with exciting new features.

The 2025 edition of the app focuses on keeping friends and family connected at Worthy Farm, with the headline addition of live location sharing which will help ticketholders to find their friends and family.

Another new feature is the addition of step count to the ‘My Highlights’ post-festival wrap, which lets fans compare with their mates to see who’s covered the most ground or spent the most time on the dancefloor.

Vodafone will help Glastonbury attendees turn their thousands of steps into positive social change, by matching the average festival-goer’s step count this year with donations through its everyone.connected programme, up to a maximum of 75,000 donations. This will include connectivity, devices and skills.

Vodafone’s everyone.connected initiative seeks to help people and businesses cross the digital divide, by providing connectivity, devices and skills to those who need it most. 

Other key updates to the app include shared line-ups which will now automatically update, helping festival-goers spot who their friends are seeing and allowing them to plan their day accordingly; the ability to shortlist acts via ‘Add to Favourites’, helping fans distinguish between their locked line-up and their top considerations at one quick glance; and a map search feature, making it easier to navigate Worthy Farm and hunt down different cuisines, locate camping and merch stands, or discover new stages.

Features returning from the 2024 app include personalised recommendations on artists performing at the festival based on listening habits via Spotify; the ability to share line-ups with friends; map pinning to help users find everything from their tent to a favourite food stall; and automatic highlighting when artists overlap,  to help navigate the festival’s stacked schedule.

The app can be downloaded now from the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Last year’s Official Glastonbury app saw 226,215 total downloads, with 88.9% from festival-goers attending Worthy Farm, while 11.1% were from people viewing at home.
