Thanks for meeting us at Future of Festivals! Your festival deserves a world-class app.

VIKIN builds fully branded, offline-first mobile apps that give your attendees real-time, context-aware information— while unlocking new revenue streams and giving sponsors meaningful visibility.

Your Attendees See What Matters, When It Matters

A dynamic dashboard that adapts to every attendee.

The moment your attendees open the app, they see what's relevant right now. Nearby stages, upcoming performances, vendors prioritised by time of day— breakfast spots in the morning, bars in the evening. Premium sponsors get prominent in-feed placement so they're always visible.

Everything Your Festival Needs, Built In

Features that make your app genuinely useful.

Push Notifications

Send unlimited real-time notifications — schedule changes, emergencies, sponsor offers, ticket presales.

No Signal? No Problem

Your app works perfectly, even without internet.

Festival sites are notorious for patchy signal. VIKIN apps are designed offline-first— schedules, maps, artist details, FAQs, and search all work without any connectivity. When signal returns, our bespoke distribution system delivers updates efficiently, minimising battery drain and reducing your event's environmental impact.

Revenue & Sponsor Visibility

Give sponsors visibility that drives real value.

Sponsors aren't buried at the bottom of a page. VIKIN shows them in-line with app content so attendees are always seeing your sponsors. Vendors get meaningful visibility with nearby food, shops, and services surfaced based on attendee location. Anonymous analytics prove the ROI.

Common Questions

How much does VIKIN cost?

What if we're already using another event app provider?

We'll help you migrate smoothly. VIKIN offers what most providers can't: standalone branded apps that work offline-first, with context-aware features, intelligent search, and interactive maps. Your attendees will notice the difference.

Does VIKIN work for events outside the UK?

Absolutely. We work with events globally — from the UK to New Zealand. We're expanding into Europe for 2026 and we're ready to bring more festivals onboard. Our pan-European team means we understand the market.

What do attendees actually think of the app?

Overwhelmingly positive. Attendees love the offline reliability, the interactive maps, and the ability to plan their day. Here's what they say:

"Honestly, I don't know how I managed festivals without it. It's become essential."
