1. Live Lineup and Set Times

A QR at the festival entrance and on printed wristbands links to the live schedule app or page. Set time changes, cancellations, and stage swaps update in real time.

2. Stage and Facility Map

A QR links to an interactive map showing stage locations, toilets, medical points, water stations, and silent disco. More useful than a static printed map that becomes wrong by day two.

3. Lost and Found

A QR at the info tent links to the digital lost and found log. Festivalgoers report lost items and search for found items without queuing at the desk.

4. Safety and Welfare

A QR on welfare tent signage links to drug harm reduction resources, mental health support contacts, and the festival's consent and safety policy. Fast access to help when needed.

5. Cashless Wristband

Many modern festivals encode a cashless payment token on the wristband. A QR on the wristband activation card links to the top-up page and balance check.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should festival QR codes work without mobile data in a crowded field?

Festival sites often have poor signal. Partner with a telecom sponsor for temporary capacity, and implement an offline-cached PWA for the schedule.

Can the wristband QR and information QR be the same code?

No. The wristband encodes an account token; the information QR links to public content. Use separate codes for each function.
