Already powering festivals across the UK.

In 2024, we partnered with The Big Retreat and Dubbed Out to validate VIKIN — with outstanding results. High attendee engagement, significant app adoption across all demographics, and 99.99%+ uptime in low-connectivity environments. In 2025, we've added Greenbelt, Ideas Fest, and The Showman's Show.

We've used event apps before for The Big Retreat Festival, but VIKIN truly exceeded our expectations.

It's been an absolute joy working with VIKIN. Their dedication, creativity, responsiveness, and openness to feedback - even when it meant adapting to our quirks - has been second to none.
Greenbelt Festival, Festival Team at Greenbelt
We were delighted with the integration between Crescat and VIKIN, it allowed us to build our entire event schedule and store all our artist info in Crescat, with event updates pushed to our VIKIN-powered app, when we wanted. It was super easy to use.
Joanna Booth, Programme Manager at Greenbelt Festival
It's been great working with the VIKIN team on the Ideas Fest app. The team has been super easy to work with throughout the whole process.

Attendees love VIKIN-powered apps.

Don't just take our word for it — here's what attendees at VIKIN-powered festivals have said about their experience.

Founder-led support that goes the extra mile.

VIKIN is founded by Ryan, Mihailo, Anete, and Sergio — and when you work with us, you work directly with the founders. We handle app setup, design, publishing to both App Stores, and ongoing support. You just manage content through our easy organiser portal.

01

We Design Your App

Our in-house designer takes your branding and makes the app match your event's exact vibes — you don't need to do a thing.

02

App Store Publishing

Dedicated Apple App Store and Google Play listings per event — the app feels completely yours.

03

On-Site Attendance

For all-inclusive events, we're on site during your festival to make sure everything runs flawlessly.

How much does VIKIN cost?

Pricing is based on number of attendees, selected tier, support requirements, and any add-ons or integrations. We've been described as "exceptional value for money" by our existing events. We also offer discounts for upfront payment and multi-year packages.

What's the setup process like?

No tech setup needed from your side. We configure the app, design it to match your branding, and handle the App Store submissions. You manage content through our easy organiser portal adding your artists, timetable, vendors, and stages. The more you add, the more detailed your app will be.

Do attendees need to create an account?

No login is needed — all users are completely anonymous. We don't collect personal data, we don't sell user data, and all analytics are aggregated. Privacy-first is a core VIKIN principle.

From paper programmes to a living event app.
