G'day all! We are stoked to announce that VIKIN has crossed the ocean and landed in the sunniest place of them all! ☀️

The VIKIN platform is joining the incredible @canowindrachallenge in Australia! 🇦🇺🇦🇺

A huge thank you to the team who saw the vision and loved the VIKIN features. We're excited to provide the event with a fully offline event app that will guide attendees throughout the town using our interactive map - helping them discover local companies, and boosting revenue across the community.

Balloon launch times will also be published throughout the event via the app, using our brand new content delivery system, built to further increase reliability in poor network conditions.

Welcome, Canowindra - we'll see you in April! We can't wait to support your event on site and capture some of that beautiful scenery while we're there! 🦘 taken in Canowindra International Balloon Challenge by @vikin.events

Happy to share some feedback from our VIKIN family!
We are so grateful to work with such amazing organisers, and as we plan for their 2026 events, we just wanted to share some of the feedback, that has made us proud.

The Big Retreat Festival - Amber Lort-Phillips
"We've used event apps before for The Big Retreat Festival, but VIKIN truly exceeded our expectations. The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, providing exceptional support and a seamless experience for both our organisers and attendees.
The app helped attendees personalise their festival experience, discover new experiences, and navigate our packed schedule with ease. The level of service and attention to detail from VIKIN was outstanding, and we would highly recommend them to any event looking for a top-tier app solution."

Greenbelt Festival - Daisy Ghira
"It's been an absolute joy working with VIKIN to develop our 2025 Greenbelt app. From day one, we knew they'd go above and beyond to deliver something that would genuinely enhance the experience for our festivalgoers.
Their dedication, creativity, responsiveness, and openness to feedback - even when it meant adapting to our quirks - has been second to none. That commitment to excellence shines through in the final product, and we're proud to have developed it together."

Ideas Fest - Olivia Lane
"It's been great working with the VIKIN team on the Ideas Fest app. Running a festival for entrepreneurs comes with plenty of moving parts, and we're grateful for how they've made the process smooth and straightforward. The team has been super easy to work with throughout the whole process. They're keeping everything on track and now we can't wait for Ideas Fest attendees to dive in and enjoy the event in all its glory!"

Once again, thank YOU! We are ready to have an incredible year and if you are interested in what features they liked the best, lets chat! by @vikin.events

We're excited to welcome @shambalafest to the VIKIN app platform 🎪✨

Fresh from multiple 2025 award wins, Shambala is now gearing up for 2026 with a brand new app. With intelligent features designed to provide a perfect attendee experience, attendees will be able to get the most out of Shambala later in the year.

We're excited for everyone to experience what's next - we'll see you in August!

After our second year at Greenbelt and first year at Shambala, it was LOVELY to receive amazing feedback from attendees:

"It worked great offline - rubbish signal this year so I really needed that"

"It worked without phone signal! It was a convenient and reasonably waterproof way to look up the timetable."

"This app was outstanding! Way better than any previous ones!"

"It was a well-rounded app that was a lot better than previous years"

"The app worked very well offline which was an enormous help."

"Thank you so much for all your hard work and for providing such a useful tool that really enhanced the Greenbelt experience."

"I thought the app was brilliant. Thanks to you and all the team for producing it"

Hello hello everyone! 👋

As you know, we went to Shambala Festival in August, and we're hoping to show you a little more of what the VIKIN app platform can actually do during a live event.
So, let's start with one of my favourite features - and not just because without it, I probably would have got lost at Shambala within about two seconds. 😂

Like many of the events we support, Shambala can have very limited signal on event days. Add in the severe weather many events experienced this season, and having reliable navigation becomes even more important.

That's where offline map navigation comes in. 📍

The same map can help attendees find:
✨ Stages and workshops
✨ Food and drink
✨ Facilities around the site
✨ Their own pinned tent
✨ Their car or campervan
✨ Other important locations they want to find again later

And that's exactly what having a VIKIN app feels like: clear, easy to use, and there to support organisers and attendees at the same time.
I'd love to hear how your event season went, especially with the difficult weather this year. How did you help attendees navigate the site and feel confident they had the information they needed when conditions changed? by @vikin.events

We loved speaking with attendees about their app experiences at Shambala and Greenbelt and hearing how the app helped them get more out of the festivals. It was also amazing to see our fabulous clients in person and be on hand to answer any questions there and then, especially when the weather added more and more complications.

Our organisers' loved how quickly changes were updated; they appreciated our customer support with any questions they received, either by email or through Facebook groups; and how helpful they found the new mapping tools on our brand new Surveyor app (more on that very, very soon!). Event volunteers and stewards also relied on the app notifications to keep up to date of any schedule changes - showing how a VIKIN app is a great way to keep everyone in the loop.

Does your current app supplier get on site to help you out and take some of the weight off your shoulders? If not, you should check out our site and see why organisers work with us, year after year. by @vikin.events

It was a wonderful (and muddy) festival week for us at VIKIN!

This was VIKIN's biggest weekend of the year - with two incredible festivals running concurrently: @shambalafest & @greenbeltfestival !

We were on site, deep in the mud, ensuring our event partners felt supported & that they had us to hand if they wanted our advice. And what a success it was!

✨over 12 million app interactions
✨100k app data updates (with 99.99% success, even with incredibly poor signal!)
✨over 400k notifications sent out to attendees
✨290k performances added to attendee's personalised schedules
✨250k searches performed (beer is again right at the top, like last year!)

Through our anonymous analytics, we're able to provide incredibly detailed stats to our organisers during and after the event - like how many notifications attendees are reading from what they've received, what the most popular sessions for each day are, and how many attendees have built their personalised schedule.

Organisers - you need great stats to plan for next year. Not yet got them? Visit our site to learn more.

What a way to end off the summer with @shambalafest & @greenbeltfestival ! 🤩

This was our biggest weekend of the year - and what a success it was!

✨ over 12 million app interactions
✨ 100k app data updates (with 99.99% success, even with incredibly poor signal!)
✨ over 400k notifications sent out to attendees
✨ 290k performances added to attendee’s personalised schedules
✨ 250k searches performed (beer is again right at the top, like last year!)

With some pretty challenging weather conditions, it was great to see our event partners making great use of notifications to send attendees important guidance, and it was amazing to see that we could push hundreds of programming changes out to attendees even with exceptionally poor signal. Our event partners also got to see our brand new organiser app in the fields too, which made it so much easier to collect GPS coordinates & ensure every location on site showed perfectly in the app. We’re excited to add more functionality to the organiser app over the next few months to turn it into one of the best organiser tools on the market!

We’re also SO HAPPY to see some attendee feedback like this:

🤩 “It worked great offline - rubbish signal this year so I really needed that”

🤩 “It worked without phone signal! And being a convenient and reasonably waterproof way to look up the timetable.”

🤩 “This app was outstanding! Way better than any previous ones!”

🤩 “It was a well-rounded app that was a lot better than previous years”

🤩 “The app worked very well offline which was an enormous help.”

🤩 “Thank you so much for all your hard work and for providing such a useful tool that really enhanced the Greenbelt experience.”

We loved speaking with attendees about their app experiences about how the app helped them get more out of the event, and it was amazing to see our fabulous clients in person and be on-hand to answer any questions there and then, when at times the weather added more and more complications. 

The attendees in our feedback form are saying “I want other events to have an app like this one” - and the attendees can’t be wrong!

We're beyond proud of our seamless integration with the @crescat.io platform, built initially for our shared event partner @greenbeltfestival, and now available for all our event partners.

For large events, having a single source of truth for data makes all the difference. A single source of truth means that when things change (and change quickly) you only have to think about updating one thing, and everything else falls into place. Our integration with Crescat streamlines this process: update your lineup, artist details and more in Crescat, and then have the data seamlessly sync into your VIKIN-powered attendee app.

As we've seen with Greenbelt Festival, having a single source of truth for data means you can provide in-depth details that give your attendees the ability to really discover your event. Attendees love discovering new artists from detailed profiles, links out to their most recognisable songs to generate interest, beautiful images that draw attention to profiles, and quotes from reviews - as seen by the over 1.2 million screen views in the Greenbelt app before the event has even started.

You always remain in control of what attendees see - just mark content as 'draft' or 'available' within Crescat, and anything in draft stays private until you're ready for attendees to see it.

Greenbelt have been delighted with our integration with Crescat, and we're excited to continue to work with both Greenbelt and Crescat to add new features and improvements to make the lives of organisers easier for even more events. by @vikin.events

Not only is this the best weekend of the year with BOTH Shambala Festival and Greenbelt Festival... but it's also the weekend where we've released the latest addition to our platform!

✨ The VIKIN Organiser App ✨

From this weekend, organisers on the VIKIN platform will be able to log into their account and get their maps looking perfect. Organisers can upload their private production site maps and their attendee-facing map images, and then easily drag & drop location pins to match any final changes that occur during setup. Got a vendor in a different pitch to what you expected? Just grab the pin, and move it to the new location. Want to make sure something is in the right place? Your current location is shown in the app, so you can make sure attendees will be sent in the right direction.

After making all of the necessary updates - getting the changes into the attendee apps is as easy as pressing 'Publish'. 

Over the next few months, we'll be adding more features - such as notification sending, setlist editing, and image uploading to name a few.

Organiser's lives: made easier ✅
Attendee's experiences: made better 🤩

Organisers: Want this for your event? Drop us a message 👀 by @vikin.events

Don’t miss out on the latest addition to the @shambalafest app!

We’ve made it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for, with our brand new filters feature. Want to see only family friendly activities for the weekend? Easy: tap on times, filter by categories and see the full timetable just that specific category. Or maybe you are interested in everything but a particular category? Follow the same process, but leave out the category to keep only what you’re looking for.

Less distractions on the timetable - more time for adventures!

Enjoy the new feature and make sure to download the app before you arrive! by @vikin.events

It’s safe to say - the Greenbelt and Shambala attendees are LOVING their new apps - with both Greenbelt and Shambala sitting solidly at the top of the charts for Entertainment apps in the UK for over a month!

We’ve been busy in the run up to these great festivals - launching features like our brand new timeline & clash-finder, custom sessions, in-app notes, and custom Find My locations to name just a few! We’re so happy that thousands of attendees are loving these features, and that they’ve been able to use our VIKIN apps to plan and get the most out of their time in the fields!

We’re not done yet though - we’ve got a few more features up our sleeves to release before next week… 👀

(if you run an event and you want an app that attendees actually enjoy using - drop us a DM!) by @vikin.events
