Orange has commissioned a Future Laboratory report ‘The Future of Festivals: Glastonbury in 2050’, findings will be announced in June. Research and development teams have also been working to bring festival goers an innovative eco technology device. 2009’s Orange Power Pump provided a perfect alternative charging device for festival lovers who wanted stay in touch with their friends from the comfort of their own tents. This device was part of a rich heritage of eco technology innovations including the Orange Mobile Wind Charger in 2007 and the Orange Dance Charger in 2008.

2010 will see a new and completely re-vamped version of Orange’s Chill ‘n’ Charge area. The multi-media space which, last year, charged over 50,000 festival goers’ mobile phones at 600 charging points will reflect ‘Glastonbury through the ages’. The brand new Chill ‘n’ Charge area will have more charging points and exciting new interactive elements and will also feature a soundtrack of stripped back acoustic performances, highlights last year included Maccabees, Temper Trap and Marina & the Diamonds.
