FestivalPilot started as a timetable tool: stages side by side, bookmark bands, spot the clashes. Great for planning — but a festival is more than a schedule. It begins weeks earlier with packing, and it doesn’t end when the last set is over.

Version 2.0 — codenamed “Home Port” (Heimathafen) — closes that gap. The timetable tool becomes a companion for the whole season: from the first lineup check to your personal recap after the last encore.

Festival Hub: your home base per festival

Instead of jumping straight into the timetable, you now land in the Festival Hub — the home port for every festival you plan. Weather, packing list, open clashes, timetable, arrival: all in one place.

The hub is phase-aware. Before the festival it shows lineup and timetable. In the final two weeks the packing list moves up front. After the festival your personal recap is waiting. The app knows where you are in the festival cycle and surfaces what matters right now.

Packing list with weather

The packing list knows your festival. A 7-day forecast right in the hub — and if 70% rain is forecast for Wacken but the rain jacket isn’t ticked off yet, the list flags it. Custom categories, history and export come with Pro.

Set reactions & Festival Wrapped

New is a lightweight set diary: one tap on a past or live slot (🔥 👍 😐 👎) records how a band was. That feeds your recommendations — and Festival Wrapped, your personal recap in story format. Bands seen, highlights, season stats, shareable as an image. Free with a watermark; Pro removes it.

8 new festivals — and a look ahead to 2027

15 festivals were on board at launch; now there are 23, with Greenfield, Impericon, Rockharz, Appletree Garden, Open Air Gampel and Sputnik Spring Break among the additions. And we’ve started preparing 2027 — the first dates are already up as a preview, so you can plan the moment lineups drop.

What stays the same

For everything we added: no account, no tracking, a real offline mode. Your data stays on your device, the catalog runs on a server in Nuremberg with no third-country transfer. The base is free. Pro costs about as much as a festival beer and unlocks the comfort features — buy once, use for a year.

iOS / iPadOS / Apple Watch / Mac (Apple Silicon): App Store
Android / Wear OS: Google Play

And this is just the home port: 2.1 is here — with setlist predictions, a budget tracker, walking times, plan sharing, arrival planner and location markers.

Get the app, plan your season. Have a good one.
