The Reload Festival 2026 is expanding its offerings for visitors and introducing several practical new features just in time for the festival season: The official Reload Festival app is available for iOS and Android. In addition, the festival supports group travel through Fahrgemeinschaft.de. Furthermore, this year will see the first-ever special train between Diepholz and Sulingen.
With the new Reload Festival app, visitors have the most important information about the festival right on their smartphones at all times. In addition to the latest news, the app also features the timetable as well as all attractions and program highlights at a glance. Especially handy: The favorites feature lets you save personal highlights, so you can put together your own festival schedule quickly and easily. If you don’t want to miss your favorite band, you can also set up a notification to remind you shortly before their performance.
Another advantage: The app also works offline. This means key information remains available even if cell service on the festival grounds happens to be limited.
The official Reload Festival app is available for free in the app stores:
• iOS: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/reload-festival/id6761850510
• Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reload.festival.app&hl=de
This year, there’s also a handy resource for getting there: Through Fahrgemeinschaft.de, festivalgoers can easily find rides to Sulingen or offer their own open seats.
With this initiative, the Reload Festival aims to promote a communal and resource-efficient way to travel to the festival. The web form can be accessed via the Reload website in the info section under “Post and Find Carpool Listings.”
For the first time, there will also be a special train running between Diepholz and Sulingen for the Reload Festival. This will make travel to and from the festival even more convenient for many guests.
