Plan your schedule together. Find each other in the crowd. Split expenses fairly. Keep every memory. One app — works offline, because festivals do.
Right now, going to a festival with friends means the official app for the lineup, WhatsApp for "where are you??", Google Maps to find each other, Splitwise for who-owes-what, and a shared album nobody remembers to create. None of them work when 60,000 people kill the cell signal.
Browse the lineup. Star your must-sees. See who in your crew is going where. Vote on acts to watch together. Spot conflicts before they happen.
Live group map with rally points, status labels, and an 'I'm lost' alert — all working offline. 60,000 people, and you always know where your crew is.
Log expenses on the go. Split evenly, by shares, or custom. See who owes who. Settle up with one tap via Revolut, PayPal, or Lydia. Zero drama.
Set up once, use all summer. No accounts for your friends — just a link.
Free on iOS and Android. Create your account in 30 seconds.
Share a link. Your friends join — no app download needed to get started.
Add your festival, import the lineup, and you're set. Everything syncs offline.
Every feature designed for the reality of festivals — dark environments, no signal, crowds, and beer-slippery fingers.
Schedule, map, expenses, chat — all cached and functional with zero signal. Syncs silently when you're back online.
See your crew on the festival map in real-time. Drop rally points. Get distance estimates. Auto-disables outside the venue.
Starred two acts at the same time? We'll flag it. See where your crew diverges and where you converge.
'Must see together' votes with live results. Your crew decides democratically. No more arguments at the tent.
One tap sends a high-priority push to your whole crew with your last known location. The festival panic button.
Group album, set ratings, auto-generated diary. After the festival, get a shareable recap of your entire adventure.
'Tame Impala in 15 min at Main Stage. 3 of your crew are going.' Context-rich, timely, actionable.

Browse acts, see who's going where, vote on must-sees, and spot schedule clashes before they ruin your night.
Real-time group map that works offline. Drop rally points, see distances, and hit the panic button when someone goes missing.

Not theoretical features — solutions to real problems every festival crew faces.
Iconische festivals. Legendarische chaos. Zo had het ook kunnen gaan.
Geen smartphones. Geen gps. Geen plan. Een half miljoen mensen in een modderig weiland met niets anders dan vibes, hoop en een vaag richtingsgevoel. Je was je vrienden kwijt op vrijdag. Je vond ze maandag terug. Misschien.
Je maat dook de wall of death in om 14:32. Laatste gps-ping: ergens tussen het Satan-podium en de crêpestand. Je zoekt al 40 minuten. Iedereen draagt zwart. Iedereen.
16 podia. Je maat appt 'ik sta bij de mainstage.' Jij appt terug 'welke?' Die zegt 'de grote.' Ze zijn allemaal groot. Dat is het hele punt van Tomorrowland. Welkom thuis.
38°C. Een flesje water kost meer dan je concertticket. Iemand haalde 6 rondjes 'voor de groep.' Drie man vertrokken vroeg. De Tikkies staan in oktober nog open.
Het regent. Natuurlijk regent het. Je telefoon ging uit bij 60%. Tweehonderdduizend mensen in identieke poncho's. De modder heeft een van je laarzen opgegeten. Je hebt je crew niet meer gezien sinds de Pyramid Stage.
Geen bereik. Geen adressen. Geen herkenningspunten, behalve een houten man die zo meteen in brand gaat. Iemand gaf je de routebeschrijving 'de derde art car voorbij de DJ die tribal house draait.' Je fietst al een uur rondjes.
Het is 14:00. Het eerste optreden begint over 20 minuten. De helft van de crew zit nog in de Airbnb 'bijna klaar.' Eén persoon moet nog 47 outfitfoto's maken. Een ander ruziët over welke set ze gaan zien. De groepschat is 200 berichten pure chaos.
Dag 4 van 7. Of is het dag 5? Niemand weet het. Iemand is iemand anders nog € 40 schuldig voor boodschappen. Weer iemand anders is de tent kwijt — niet wat erin zat, de hele tent. Het groepsdagboek is een verzameling wazige herinneringen en tegenstrijdigheden.
We're building Festmate for Summer 2026. Here's what festival-goers keep telling us they need:
"Every year I lose my friends for half the festival. We text 'where are you' 200 times. I'd pay for something that just shows me where they are."
— Reddit, r/festivals"We always say we'll use Splitwise but nobody adds expenses until two weeks later when nobody remembers what happened."
— Survey respondent"I want one app for the whole festival that isn't specific to Coachella or Glastonbury. Something that works everywhere."
— Beta interest formWe're festival-goers too. We built Festmate the way we'd want it — private, honest, and fair.
Your location data stays on your device and your crew's devices. We never see it. No cloud tracking, ever.
No advertising. No selling your data. No creepy retargeting. We make money from the app, not from you.
Export everything. Delete everything. Your festival memories, expenses, and crew data belong to you — not us.
Free core features forever. Premium features at a fair, transparent price. No surprises, no dark patterns.
We're targeting Summer 2026 — in time for the European festival season. Join the waitlist to be the first to know and get early access.
Nope. You can share a web link so friends can see the schedule and plan together from their browser. For the full experience (maps, expenses, offline), the app is free to download.
All of them. Festmate isn't locked to partner festivals. You can add any festival, import lineups automatically from major databases, or build a custom lineup manually.
Festmate caches your entire festival — schedule, map, crew data, expenses — on your device. Location sharing between crew members works via Bluetooth mesh when there's no signal. Everything syncs back when you reconnect.
With GPS, accuracy is 5-15 meters. With Bluetooth mesh (no signal), accuracy is about 30-50 meters within a 500m range. Either way, enough to find your friends in a crowd.
Yes. Any multi-day event with a schedule works — food festivals, sporting events, conventions, multi-stage conferences. If your crew needs to coordinate, Festmate helps.
Core features (schedule, crew coordination, basic expenses) are free forever. Premium features like advanced maps, unlimited expense history, and festival analytics will be available at a fair monthly price.
Yes. Waitlist members will be invited to the beta first. Beta testers get free access to all premium features during the testing period and a discounted rate at launch.
Join the waitlist. Be the first to try Festmate when it launches — and be the friend who shows up prepared.
No spam. Just one email when Festmate is ready.
