V Festival, sponsored by Virgin Media, is excited to announce the release of the official festival app for 2011, powered by Nokia. In a first for a festival, the official 2011 V Festival app is available across all platforms including Nokia, Blackberry, Android and iPhone, and packed with essentials to make it a festival to remember with many updated features from last year’s award winning app*.
The 2011 official V Festival app will offer fans access to everything they need to know for this year’s festival. At their fingertips they’ll have an interactive map with accurate tent, car and - in a festival first - Facebook friend finder capabilities to pin point friends on site. This will be alongside the full line-up, the latest tweets from performing artists as well as competitions, handy travel, weather and festival for both Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Weston Park, Stafford.
Nokia owners will also have access to exclusive functionalities developed by Nokia. These include the option to create a personalised line-up schedule from all festival stages with essential clashfinder, Nokia Action Cam to share photos on Facebook and an exciting competition ahead of the festival to win V Style luxury accommodation, including Hotel Bell tents and Pop-up hotel rooms at both Hylands Park and Weston Park sites with VIP tickets.
All the best social tools a festivalgoer needs sit at the heart of the V Festival app, ensuring fans can share their experiences on Twitter and Facebook straightaway then watch official artist interviews and acoustic sets on the V Festival YouTube channel – all without leaving the app. Additionally, V has teamed up with goCarShare.com to help fans find others looking for transport to the festival via the app and Facebook Connect.
As the app that also likes to give back, there are multiple opportunities to win prizes. Ticket holders will be able to get their hands on VIP upgrades and headline sponsor Virgin Media has developed an interactive competition – Pitch Up For Prizes – that innovatively combines both mobile app technology and Facebook technology as its entry mechanic.
Once on site it’s all about being creative. Pitch Up for Prizes encourages festivalgoers to customise their tent and follow the instructions on the mobile app to upload their picture entry directly on the V Festival Facebook page. The winners will receive goodies including a wind-up radio and solar powered chargers and some special treats. Plus every entry will have a chance to win tickets to next year’s V Festival.
At the festival, to ensure users stay connected, Virgin Media will be installing multiple free Wi-Fi hotspots across both V Festival sites in Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Weston Park, Stafford. Nokia Connectors will also be on hand to help anyone who needs a little extra help over the weekend.
