Vodafone NZ is injecting their mobile technology into the Rhythm experience by offering their SmartPass mobile payment system to festival-goers. You can now swipe your compatible phones on selected eftpos terminals at the festivals VIP Vintage Club to make secure and fast payments. No more queuing!
Did we mention there’s also a mobile app? The Vodafone Festival app will allow you to check and top up your wrist bands. More time to party! Festival-goers will also stay well-connected thanks to the juiced-up mobile cell sites that will be in the hallowed Gisborne and Cardrona festival turfs. Those in the Vintage Club area can enjoy the perks of free WiFi as well!
To launch all these epic New Year gadgets, there was an exclusive launch held down at Stolen Girlfriends Club HQ last night, where the Remix crew were among the select few treated to a live performance by PleasePlease. A mini showcase demonstrated how 1,000 lucky Vodafone customers and their friends will be spared the dreaded battery fail this New Years thanks to the 1,000 solar-powered mini-sized mobile chargers on offer!
Taking their irreverent fashion style to new heights in their partnership with Vodafone and to celebrate this new innovation, the Stolen Girlfriend’s Club design team used 60 solar panels to customise their very own festival garments. They turned a chic leather dress and guy’s shorts into mobile charging stations! This final creation Stolen Girlfriend’s Club Creative Director Marc Moore called “A festival gladiator, with the solar panels resembling scales of armour.”
