ESSENTIALS

Enjoy a summer of music

Summer’s happiest moments involve you, your pals and your favourite acts on stage in front of you as the sun sets. Grab your tent, sunscreen and shades and pack these apps to enjoy a dream festival weekend.

Follow along online

A music festival without TikTok is half a festival. Search for the event hashtag in the TikTok app and connect with what’s trending and all the best highlights. You can share your own videos and follow the festival news, as well as interact with your favourite artists. And if you haven’t been able to join the party in person, you can follow along on TikTok wherever you are.

Edit and share your best moments

Those epic videos from your spot in the crowd deserve the best editing. Splice’s pro-quality editing tools enable you to quickly chop and polish your clips to share to your socials. Here’s a tip to get a flood of likes on your feed: slow down or speed up the key portion of your video with the app’s Speed option – there's nothing like watching your favourite star in slow motion as they shake their head to a guitar riff.

Find a festival date

That exchange of glances as you walk towards the main stage can have a happy ending. With Happn you can connect with and like people you’ve crossed paths with. If your crush likes you back, your weekend of music could also come with the bonus of meeting your next date.

Stream music documentaries

The festival is over, now what? Settle in with some cool music documentaries on Apple TV+. Watch Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band recording together again, get an intimate look behind the scenes of the performances of megastar Billie Eilish, discover the fascinating life story of Louis Armstrong, and more on the streaming platform now.
