What festivalpilot does
Your festival. Start to finish.
Live During
Reminded before every set. Live mode, weather, location — all at a glance.
Recap After
Personal recap. Who you saw, what you lived through.
That's festivalpilot.
§01
Three phases. One app.
Plan, on-site, recap — festivalpilot covers the whole season, not just the schedule.
01 Live
Live Mode
The festival's running — so is festivalpilot. Your Plan tab shows what's next for free. Pro unlocks Discover, Reactions and Info — your full live cockpit with weather alerts, walk routes and mood ratings.
02 Plan
Festival Hub
Your home base for every festival. Weather, packing list, open clashes — all at a glance. Three days out, you'll know what you forgot.
03 Plan
Timetable & Planning
All stages side by side, time on the vertical. Bookmark bands, build your day plan in seconds. Clash detection is automatic — with reasoning, not an algorithm.
04 Plan
Packing List & Weather
7-day forecast right in the Hub. The packing list knows you're heading to Wacken — and flags you if 70% rain is forecast and the rain jacket isn't packed yet.
05 Live
Apple Watch & Wear OS
Raise your wrist, see who is on. Day plan, packing list and countdown on your wrist — phone stays in your pocket. Pro feature: syncs automatically with your watch.
06 Recap
Festival Wrapped
After the festival: your personal recap. Bands seen, highlights, season stats. Shareable — for everyone who was there.
§02
More than a schedule
When the shuttle is gone and the tent has vanished.
festivalpilot gets you to the festival, through it, and back home. Share your plan, find your car, plan the drive — all offline, all without an account.
Share Plan Live
Your plan, your crew.
Day plan or festival overview as a story or square card. Bookmarked bands, stages, times — rendered cleanly, sent to your group in two taps. Works with any messenger.
01 / 03 Arrival Planner Live
From sofa to stage.
Festival address straight to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. Parking tips, public transport, shuttles. Enter your postcode — estimated drive time and a "leave by" suggestion, fully offline.
02 / 03 Location Markers Live
Tent up. Car still there?
Drop pins on car, tent, meetup point or stage. Find your way back on Sunday morning, even without signal. Stored locally — no cloud, no tracking, no one else's eyes.
03 / 03§03
Festivals 2026
23 festivals for the 2026 season — from Rock am Ring to Primavera. 50+ planned by season's end.
Top festivals
In focus for June 2026
The homepage now follows the same logic as the festival hub: next active festivals first, past festivals leave the top row.

§09
FAQ
What you actually want to know before downloading.
01 Is festivalpilot only worth it if I go to lots of festivals?
No. The free version already helps if you just want to plan one festival with less stress. Pro costs about as much as a festival beer — buy once, use every season.
02 Is the free version enough for a normal festival?
Yes. Timetable, bookmarked acts, clash detection, one reminder per band and your Live Plan on festival day — all without Pro. Pro is comfort for power users, not a required purchase.
03 Why should I buy Pro?
Nine concrete features: full live cockpit on festival day, smartwatch sync, smart conflict recommendations, stage walking times, custom reminders, extended packing list with weather, My Bands as day plan, Wrapped extras and genre filtering. And: you support an indie developer instead of another data-hungry platform.
04 Do I get new Pro features without paying again?
Yes. Pro users get all new features added during their subscription year at no extra cost. On the roadmap: Band Hub, tour dates, better recommendations and deeper analytics.
05 Does it work offline?
Yes. Once loaded, festival data and your bookmarks live locally in the app. Fresh changes need a quick connection, but your personal plan still works with bad reception.
06 Do I need an account?
No. No login, no account, no profile. Open the app, pick a festival, plan your weekend.
07 Which festivals are included?
23 as of today, including Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Hurricane, Southside, Wacken, Hellfest, Nova Rock, Pinkpop, Rock Werchter, Download, Graspop, Copenhell, Greenfield, Impericon, Appletree Garden and more. 50+ planned by season's end.
08 Can I share my plan with friends?
Yes. From the timetable, generate a plan card (day plan or festival overview) as a story or square image and send it via any messenger. Bands, stages, times — all baked in, no account needed.
09 Does the app help with the drive?
Yes. The Arrival Planner opens the festival address straight in Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. You also get parking and public-transport tips. Enter your postcode and you'll see an estimated drive time and a "leave by" recommendation — all offline, no cloud involved.
10 How do I find my car or tent again?
With Location Markers you drop pins for your car, tent, meeting point or stage. Even without signal or with a dead battery on Sunday morning, you find your way back. Stored locally on your device — no cloud, no tracking.
