Original release notes

Completely rebuilt for the 2026 festival.

If you used this app in a previous year, everything here is new — a redesigned lineup, a new look throughout, and a lot of ways to plan your weekend that didn't exist before.

NEW LOOK
A full visual redesign, top to bottom. New typography, new color, cleaner layouts, and a home screen that gets you to what you need in one tap.

A BETTER LINEUP
Schedule and artist views that share one set of filters, so switching between them doesn't lose your place. Filter by day, stage, or genre, or search directly. Redesigned artist pages with bios, genres, links, and playable music and video.

FAVORITES THAT DO SOMETHING
Save artists, sets, food, bars, and shops. Turn on notifications and the app reminds you before a favorited set begins.

SHARE MY LINEUP
Send friends a link to the acts you're seeing — it opens on any phone, no app needed.

ARTIST QUIZ
Five questions about the music you love, matched against this year's lineup. A fast way to find your next favorite act.

MORE OF THE FESTIVAL
New sections for Family Jams, Folklife, after parties, and downtown Greensboro's own restaurants and shops.

NOTIFICATIONS
Schedule changes, weather calls, and day-of announcements from the festival, with an in-app inbox so nothing gets missed.

FASTER AND STEADIER
Rewritten from the ground up, with offline caching so the schedule stays put when the network doesn't.

See you September 18-20 in downtown Greensboro.
