🎪 Festival & Summer Tech

Once upon a time, festival-goers relied on paper maps, disposable cameras, and hoping they'd find their friends by the burger van. Losing your phone, your mates—or even your tent—was just part of the experience.

In fact, a 2023 UK survey revealed that 1 in 7 people lost their phone at a music festival, with over 40% reporting battery-related emergencies during multi-day events.

But things have changed.

Today’s festivals are smarter, safer, and way more comfortable—thanks to portable power stations, solar chargers, smart GPS trackers, wearable audio, and even USB-heated sleeping bags. Whether you’re heading off-grid for four days or glamping with the family, there’s a growing range of AI-enhanced gear and smart tech products designed to keep you charged, connected, and chill.

Expect more innovation in the years to come: from solar-powered hydration trackers to AI-powered crowd flow navigation, tech is reshaping how we camp, dance, and explore the great summer outdoors.

Glastonbury Festival 2050

Imagine Glastonbury in the year 2050—where the world’s most iconic music festival meets cutting-edge technology. Picture virtual reality performances streamed live to fans across the globe, offering a 360° front-row view from home. Digital VIP fan meets let attendees interact with holographic versions of their favourite artists, while AI help stations and multilingual bots offer real-time assistance across the grounds.

Every tent comes pre-erected with solar-powered charging docks, biometric security, and optional climate control pods to maintain ideal sleep temperatures. Expect drones managing crowd flow, smart wristbands with health-monitoring and seamless payment integration, and high-resolution surveillance systems keeping everyone safe. This isn’t science fiction—it’s the logical next step for festivals that want to stay sustainable, connected, and unforgettable.
