Glastonbury Tracker Guide 2026 — Log Every Set You See

Founder of Gigvault — the concert tracker for live music fans.
Glastonbury is the festival where people come home and cannot answer the simplest question: who did you see?
Not because the weekend was forgettable. Because Worthy Farm runs more than a hundred stages, from the Pyramid down to a piano in a field at four in the morning, and a full lineup is not something anyone holds in their head. Gigvault carries 95 acts for the 2026 edition alone, and that is only the ones with a billing.
This guide is about turning five days of walking into a record you still have in ten years.
The problem is not memory, it is scale
At a single-stage show you see one band. At Glastonbury you might catch fifteen minutes of an act whose name you never quite hear, then walk twenty minutes and catch another. By Monday the middle of the weekend is a blur, and the acts that get lost are almost always the small ones — the ones you would most like to have written down.
That is why a note on your phone rarely survives past Friday. It asks you to type a name you are not sure of, at a moment when you are tired and your hands are full.
Log a set the moment you leave the crowd
In Gigvault, an act you have just watched takes a few seconds:
- Search the name — the lineup is already there, so partial spellings resolve
- Confirm the date — it is filled in for you
- Move on
Every act is its own concert
This is the part that matters most at a festival, and it is where most tracking apps fall down.
A festival is not one entry in your history. If you saw twelve acts at Glastonbury, that is twelve concerts — each with its own artist, its own stage, its own memory. Gigvault counts them that way, so a single weekend can move your yearly stats more than the rest of the summer combined.
It also means the small acts survive. The band you caught by accident at the Park Stage sits in your history next to the Pyramid headliner, and in five years, when someone mentions their name, you will be the person who says I saw them at Glastonbury.
The editions go back further than you think
Gigvault does not only carry the current year. The 2000 edition is in there too — David Bowie, the Chemical Brothers, Pet Shop Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Coldplay and Muse among them.
If you were on the farm that year, you can add it now. Open the edition, tick the acts you saw, and they become part of your history with the correct date and place, exactly as if you had logged them at the time. Most people find they remember more than they expected once the lineup is in front of them — that is the whole point of having it there.
Photos that stay attached to the act
Glastonbury photos have a particular fate: three hundred of them land in the camera roll, mixed with mud and tents and queues, and nobody ever sorts them.
Attach them to the act instead. A photo filed under the band you were watching is findable years later; the same photo in a folder called June is not.
Who else was in that field
After the weekend, Concert Buddies shows which of your friends logged the same sets. Not a follower count — just the overlap: the acts you both stood in front of, sometimes without knowing the other was there.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Glastonbury app?
Gigvault is free to use for logging shows, including every act at a festival. The 2026 lineup is already loaded, so you are ticking names rather than typing them.
Can I log Glastonbury editions from years ago?
Yes. Past editions carry their lineups — the 2000 edition among them. Open the year, tick what you saw, and it joins your history with the right date.
Does it work with no signal at Worthy Farm?
Reception on the farm is famously poor. Photograph the running order or the stage board and add the sets afterwards; nothing is lost by logging on the way home.
What about other UK festivals?
The same applies to any festival with a lineup in Gigvault — Reading, Leeds, Download, Latitude. Each act you tick counts as its own show.
Start with one act
You do not need to reconstruct the whole weekend. Add the one act you are most glad you saw. The rest tends to follow, because the list in front of you reminds you of the others.
Open the Glastonbury Festival page and start there.
