Glastonbury Festival poses unique challenges, given its vast scale and remote location.
The primary task was to provide a highly resilient event network capable of meeting the demanding needs of key stakeholders including production, media, broadcasters, ticketing, artists and security. This requires the installation of multiple high-speed internet links, backhaul connectivity for cellular base stations to support mobile network operator presence, HD CCTV surveillance overlay and PCI compliant networks for secure payment transactions.
Having worked with Glastonbury for over 15 years PMY’s event technology team is highly integrated with the festival operations staff to ensure a highly coordinated approach, liaising with multiple partners including power, structures and security. The team implemented a comprehensive event network platform that enables seamless and high-speed connectivity.
Through PMY's efforts, Glastonbury Festival attendees enjoyed a superior festival experience. Brand partners are able to realise their objectives through the high-speed internet and mobile networks allowed smooth communication and easy sharing of memories, while the secure PCI compliant payment network provided hassle-free transactions.
PMY's successful execution at Glastonbury solidifies the company's position as a trusted partner in the event management industry. The positive feedback received from festival organisers and attendees alike further underscores the team's commitment to excellence and seamless event execution.
