Vodafone launches updated Glastonbury app as it boosts festival network capacity
Vodafone has launched the 2025 version of its Glastonbury app including new features.
Updates for the music lovers attending this year's event, headlined by The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, include live location sharing on the Glastonbury map, and step count tracking so Festival-goers can compare to see who covered the most ground.
Last year the app was downloaded 226,215 times by ticket holders visiting Worthy Farm or watching at home.
Vodafone said its network capacity at the festival, which opens on Wednesday, will be its highest ever after data consumption hit more than 225 terabytes last year
Other updates include automatic updates to shared line-ups 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 new map search feature, making it easier to navigate Worthy Farm
Maria Koutsoudakis, Chief Brand Officer, Vodafone UK, said: 'We know the app plays a big role in the Festival experience so, this year, we have gone even further to ensure that fans can connect with their friends or family and get as much out of Glastonbury as possible.
'Combined with us delivering the most Vodafone network capacity ever on-site, these new features will help festival goers always be connected no matter where they are across the site.
'We're delighted to be able to use these features to reward both fans and communities across the UK, by tying the new step count feature to our everyone.connected campaign. Social impact is a key part of Glastonbury's ethos as a Festival, and we're proud to be able to play our part in that.'

Cara Delevingne's Ultimate Festival Survival Guide
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Missing a year of the Glastonbury Festival would feel like missing a birthday for Cara Delevingne. In fact, the British model and actress prioritizes a weekend on Worthy Farm so much that she gets it written into job contracts that she's not available for the June dates. It's non-negotiable. 'It's the festival I've been to the most and it's the one I will go to forever,' she says from her home in Los Angeles. 'Missing a year makes me feel like I'm missing my own birthday—that's what it feels like. If I'm doing a movie or something, I'll always put it into a contract.' It makes sense, then, that the music fan is fronting Burberry's latest campaign, which champions England's long-standing love affair of days spent outdoors listening to music, from Glastonbury to Green Man. 'I grew up going to festivals and I grew up wearing Burberry,' she says. 'I feel really grateful and very honored to be in the campaign. Burberry are just the loveliest people to work for and work with. It's always been that way. So, to come back to it, it's like coming home.' Delevingne isn't alone in her fan-girling, as Burberry's line-up also includes Liam Gallagher, Loyle Carner, Alexa Chung, and Lennon Gallagher, Molly Moorish-Gallagher, and Gene Gallagher. 'It was honestly very surreal,' she says of the campaign. 'It was like we're at a festival, but where you can play your own music. It was kind of ideal. Sometimes when you're on shoots and they're like 'smile,' and you have to force it, but this was actually me just having a fucking blast.' In the accompanying photos, Delevingne wears three looks, made up of a consortium of festival-ready pieces that would easily fit into her own wardrobe. And there was one piece that did travel home with her that day. 'Don't worry, I was honest and said that I'm taking it—I do not wear skirts a lot, but it's a Burberry kilt,' she shares. 'I remember showing up to my sister's birthday in this kilt a couple of days later, and everyone looked at me because they hadn't seen me in a skirt since I was forced to wear one. I would never choose to wear a skirt, but a kilt is different. I am definitely taking it with me to festivals.' Festival memories run deep for Delevingne, but there's something about her first time attending as a 15-year-old that stands out the most. 'I think the first time going to a festival is just always the most insane thing,' she confesses. 'The first time I went to Glastonbury, someone's ticket was fake and we had to break someone in. Six of us were sleeping in a three-man pop-up tent, and it was absolute chaos. It felt like a real pilgrimage to find where we were going and to find our friends. And then finally you get there. I miss that part of festivals, obviously, maybe not the camping, but yes, squeezing everything in a pop-up tent. But I miss how hard it is to get it sorted and get it done. When things are so hard, it does make the payoff so much better.' Now in her early thirties, things have changed. 'My back can't handle it,' she laughs. 'Also, being sober is so different at a festival. They tell you when you get sober that you won't feel like shit the next day, but you do because you stay up late. Anyways, I'm just old now, and if you go to sleep too late, you just feel like ass.' While the idea of a festival usually conjures images of massive sound systems set amongst otherwise peaceful green fields, there is a bit more variety in the U.K., whether it's the Notting Hill Carnival or Pride. 'I try to live proudly all year round,' Delevingne says. 'Queer people are not only the most eccentric, but also the most creative. There's not trying to be normal, which I feel like when you live suppressing something for so long, when you finally live freely [to be] who you are, you want to just be the most yourself you've ever been, and I think that comes out in a way that queer people celebrate each other and celebrate being queer, because it really is all or nothing.' As Pride Month takes hold, Delevingne admits that this could be one of the most crucial in our lifetime so far. 'It seems throughout history that you take two steps forward and take three steps back,' she says. 'And I think that in these moments when we're being pushed back, we really just have to keep pushing forward and keep being represented and representing ourselves. That to me is the most important thing.' 'I have a few essentials that I always bring now [that] I'm a bit older—one is a camel pouch. It's small, it's sleek, you can put it under your jacket, just so you can have water wherever you go. Shove electrolytes in there, whatever works.' 'I also always bring a head torch. I think there's something about getting lost in the dark when I was at Glastonbury in the first year that slightly traumatized me for life, because I bring a head torch wherever I go. Even if I go on holiday, I always bring one.' 'I never think it's a problem wearing the same thing twice at Glastonbury, just as long as you cover all bases, of, like, an umbrella that can be used in the rain or the sun. It doesn't usually rain, but you need to be prepared. I don't like wellies unless it's raining. I do a lot of walking, and I like to move very far around the festival in a day. So, I prefer hiking shoes.'
