Squad Planner — go with your crew
Getting a group of friends to agree on a festival is the hard part. Squad Planner sorts it: one shared shortlist, one vote each, and the winner gets locked in. Then everyone plans the trip together.
1. Create your squad
Sign in (a free account is enough — you don't need the £10 membership), tap My Squads and name your squad. That's it.
2. Invite your friends
Share your squad's invite link on WhatsApp. Friends tap it, sign in, and they're in — no searching, no passwords to send. Up to 12 people per squad.
3. Vote and lock it in
Anyone adds festivals to the shortlist with Add to squad. Everyone gets one vote and can change it. When a festival is clearly winning, the squad owner taps Lock it in.
Then the Squad Plan opens for the whole group
Live for everyone in the squad, so you stop chasing people in the group chat.
- Tickets: everyone marks their ticket Not yet, Bought or Needs help — see at a glance who's sorted.
- Travel: car, train, coach or need a lift — drivers list spare seats.
- Packing: a shared kit list so the gazebo doesn't get forgotten, plus a private checklist just for you.
- Cost splitter: add shared expenses and it works out exactly who owes whom, in the fewest payments.

How students really save
No UK festival on this site runs an official student discount code. These are the genuine ways to pay less.
Book the first release
Tickets are sold in tiers and the price only goes up. The cheapest seats are always the earliest ones.
See all the ways to save →Use a deposit plan
Reading, Leeds, Boomtown and Camp Bestival all let you hold a ticket for a small deposit and pay monthly.
See all the ways to save →Work the festival
Stewarding usually means a free ticket and free crew camping in exchange for a few shifts.
See all the ways to save →Festival work
Paid and volunteer opportunities for the 2027 season.
