Fest Focus: There's an app for that

by Van McNeil

The app features every necessity a festival attendee could possibly need, including the full lineup, schedule, site map, after-hours events, food vendors and even weather updates.

The Official 2015 Festival International app for mobile phones is now available to download in the Android and Apple stores. Designed by CrowdTorch, the app features every necessity a festival attendee could possibly need, including the full lineup, schedule, site map, after-hours events, food vendors and even weather updates. Thanks Festival! (And special thanks to KATC Chief Meteorologist Rob Perillo.)

“Every year the mobile app has provided our festival goers with easy access to what is happening during Festival. This year is no exception and we are happy that the Festival Mobile App is a key component to our Geaux Green initiative,” says Tucker Sappington, board president, in a press release. That’s right, not only is the app super convenient, it helps save the planet! Apologies to the climate change deniers out there.

The new and improved app includes information on the optional Festival Passes this year, as well as a separate schedule for after-hours events, for example the LIME After Parties and interviews in the KATC Chat Room. It’s an essential tool for festival goers looking to stay informed, so go download it, folks.
