FEST App and Zone Festival simplify content management for festivals
FEST App and Zone Festival are launching an integration that lets organizers transfer their content to the FEST Backstage in one click.
Good news for festivals already using Zone Festival: it is now possible to transfer your content directly to the FEST Backstage in one click.
In practical terms, organizers can now send information from their Zone Festival project to FEST without having to manually copy everything over. Artists, programming, practical information, schedules, events, venues, GPS locations, edition content: the goal is simple, avoid duplicate work and reduce the risk of errors when it is time to publish.
One single source of truth for teams
For many festivals, content management can quickly become a headache.
The information already exists somewhere: in a production tool, a spreadsheet, a website, a shared document, or an internal platform. Then it has to be copied somewhere else to power a mobile app, a website, a schedule, or communication materials.
That is exactly what this integration is designed to solve.
With the connection between Zone Festival and FEST, teams can keep their organization inside Zone Festival, then transfer the relevant content to Backstage FEST when preparing their presence in the app.
- Less copy-pasting.
- Fewer back-and-forths.
- Fewer last-minute errors.
A real time saver for organizers
This integration helps festivals save time on a task that is often repetitive: duplicating content.
Instead of entering the same information into multiple tools, organizers can move their data more simply between their working environments.
For teams, that means:
- faster setup in FEST;
- lower risk of errors in schedules, artist names, or practical information;
- better consistency across different channels;
- smoother management as the event approaches.
And when you know what the final weeks before a festival look like, removing one layer of manual work is not exactly a luxury.
Zone Festival and FEST: two complementary tools
Zone Festival has been supporting festivals and cultural events for years with production management: artists, films, vendors, activities, contacts, venues, programs, teams, volunteers, guests, partners, forms, and more.
FEST helps festivals distribute their content to the public: programming, schedules, artists, reminders, notifications, maps, practical information, partners, and the mobile experience.
The partnership between the two platforms creates a natural bridge between internal production and public communication.
Information is prepared in Zone Festival, then used in FEST to power the festival-goer experience.
Less friction, more value
At FEST, our goal is to make setting up a festival app simpler, faster, and more useful for teams.
This integration goes exactly in that direction: allowing organizers to work with their existing tools without adding a new operational burden.
Because a festival app should not create more work. It should help teams communicate better, guide their audience more effectively, and create more value for their partners.
With Zone Festival and FEST, festivals now have a more direct flow between production management and mobile communication.
- One single source of truth.
- A simpler transfer.
- A more reliable experience for the public.
FEST App is the simplest app for festival organizers. With ultra-fast setup, a free license, and partner integrations, it is the go-to reference for festival mobile apps. Your festival might already be on FEST.
