JAKARTA - Next week, as many as 210,000 passionate festival visitors will head to Worthy Farm to attend the world's best festival, Glastonbury.

This year's event will see several world stars perform on stage, including Elton John, Arctic Monkeys, and Lizzo.

Namun, dengan festival yang tersebar di area seluas 900 hektar, memastikan Anda cukup diselenggarah untuk menonton penampilan favorit Anda bukanlah hal yang mudah.

Fortunately, this year there was help in the form of a new Glastonbury app from Vodafone.

This app allows you to create a personalized favorite appearance schedule, as well as provide a notification of when you should go to watch them.

Vodafone is the Glastonbury Festival's Official Connectivity Partner this year.

"Our partnership with Glastonbury has added another British iconic moment to our growing partnership portfolio," Max Taylor, Head of Commercial Vodafone, told DailyMail.com.

"As a new Official Connectivity Partner, we want to keep our fans and festival visitors connected more than ever. We predict that people will use more data on site, so increasing the capacity of our reliable network and award winners is important," he said.

This app can be downloaded for free from the App Store and Google Play Store, and includes interactive maps to make navigation easier on 100 stages. With more than 3,000 performers this year, it can be difficult to manage who to see and when.

For example, several stages are 40 minutes away on foot with each other, so it's not just a matter of moving to the next performance.

To help, this app allows you to create a personalized appearance schedule, and will send notifications when it's time for you to get to your next look.

Other interesting features include built-in Worthy FM radios, which provide important information and entertainment for those traveling to and from festivals as well as when they were at the festival site.

The launch of the app comes as Glastonbury organizers advise festival visitors not to carry single-use vapes, as part of their efforts to'reduce, reuse, and recycle' plastics.

The festival has updated its packaging guidelines on its website, which now states 'don't bring' single-use vapes. It's not clear how these rules can be implemented, and Glastonbury declined to comment.

However, there are suggestions that the e-smoking can be confiscated when festival visitors are examined when entering the festival area.
