Must-have event tech for every concert or festival

Got a big day coming up? Between scanning your digital ticket to enter the venue, snapping photos for social media, replying to the group chat, and checking the event app for real-time updates, everything runs through your phone now. And if it’s not backed by the right gear, it won’t last the day.

The good news? It doesn’t always mean you have to bring more—just the right event tech that actually keeps up. So we’ve rounded up the must-have gear that keeps your phone powered, protected and ready from the drive in up to the final encore.

Power Banks that last from first act to the final encore

Phones don’t get a break at events. They’re doing it all—running your fave mobile apps, keeping up with event content updates and even unlocking gamification rewards or chatbot reminders as part of the event marketing buzz. Whether you’re checking into a venue or looking up set times, your phone battery’s copping it.

But that’s where a portable Power Bank comes in handy. It keeps your event schedule smooth, your camera rolling, and the whole attendee experience running without interruptions.

1. MagSlim Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 5K

If you're heading to a short gig or a comedy show in-city and want to keep things light, this one's ideal. MagSlim Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 5K snaps straight onto the back of your MagSafe-compatible phone or case for easy, wireless charging. The slim design slides into your back pocket or handbag, and the digital display means no guessing how much charge you've got left.

2. MagSlim Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10K

Events are shifting towards fast tech check-ins, with live events being more tech connected than ever. You’re constantly checking notifications, messaging your mates, and capturing immersive experiences from the crowd.

And while event planners rely on advanced event management to run the show and boost attendee engagement, you just need one thing—a Power Bank that keeps your side of the event experience going strong, like this one.

With up to 1.5 phone charges wirelessly or 2 charges via cable, the MagSlim Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10K gives you double the backup of the 5K option. It also snaps straight onto your phone with a strong magnetic connection and stays locked in while you move, post and record.

3. ChargeUp Pocket 10,000 mAh Power Bank With Dual Integrated Charging Cables

While wireless charging is great, not everyone has it. For those who don't, grab Cygnett's ChargeUp Pocket 10,000 mAh Power Bank, which has both Lightning and USB-C cables built-in so you're always ready to plug in no matter the device.

With the way events are evolving, from hybrid to virtual reality, having tech that adapts is key. This one’s ready for future events, especially with more organisers in Australia implementing mobile-first tools to streamline the attendee experience. And let’s be real: nothing disrupts a successful event like a flat phone!

Whether you're sharing with friends, switching between devices, or just like being prepared, this is the kind of event charging solution that makes a real difference. 

4. ChargePro Power Bank 20K

For your next event that lasts a full weekend, this is the kind of tech that turns a packed schedule into a smooth experience. It packs 20,000 mAh of power, meaning you can charge your phone multiple times and even top up a mate's phone at the same time. With 30W fast charging, it’s best for in-person events like multi-day festivals where power is hard to find.

Whether you're paying with your phone, checking festival set times, or messaging your group about where to meet next, ChargePro Power Bank 20K keeps your tech running without a hitch. It’s also great for those using mobile event apps, navigating exhibitor maps, or snapping unforgettable experiences post-event.

Phone protection that keeps up with the chaos

Crowds, concrete, mosh pits, muddy fields—your phone goes through a lot before the headline act even starts. Packed with the kind of smart design and advancements that make a real difference on big event days, here are Cygnett’s phone cases built to handle it all, without killing your style:

1. MagSafe-compatible cases for wireless charging

Not all cases play nice with wireless charging, but these ones do. Cygnett’s range of MagSafe-compatible cases snap straight onto your magnetic wireless Power Bank without slipping or sliding. No need to take the case off mid-event just to charge your phone.

2. Wallet cases and magnetic wallets for ditching the bulk

Whether you want a phone case that also carries your cards or a magnetic wallet that snaps on when you need it, Cygnett’s got both. Our wallet cases come with built-in slots so you can carry your IDs and credit cards without packing anything extra.

If you want a standalone card holder that snaps onto the back of your MagSafe-compatible phone or case, check out our Magnetic Wallet range. It's perfect for anyone who wants to travel light without switching cases. Either way, you’ll spend less time digging through your bag and more time enjoying the moment.

Bluetooth® TravelTag for festivals, gigs and everything in between

At big events, your stuff always ends up somewhere—just not always where you left it. Cygnett’s Voyager Bluetooth® TravelTag With Wireless Recharging is a slim tracker that slips into your bag, jacket or pocket and connects with the Apple Find My app. So if something goes missing, you can ping it in seconds. No panic, no backtracking. Just one less thing to worry about while you’re out making memories.

In-car tech to keep you charged on the way there and back

The group chat’s going off, someone forgot the tickets, and you’re in charge of the playlist. Before you’ve even found parking, your phone’s already taken a hit. That’s why a solid in-car charging setup makes all the difference.

Cygnett’s Car Chargers and Charging Cables keep your devices powered on the road.

Driving solo? The CarPower 45W USB-C Car Charger delivers fast, single-port charging, great for those who want their phone back to 100% before gates open.

Travelling with a mate? The CarPower 20W Dual Port USB-C & USB-A Car Charger keeps everyone topped up without fighting over a cable.

Need a map, mount and charge in one? The EasyMount Universal Window Mount & Wireless Charger holds your phone in place and powers it up at the same time—no cables flying around, no phone flinging off the dash mid-turn.

And if your car battery decides not to join the party, the ChargeUp Auto 10,000mAh Jump-Starter & Power Pack has your back. Start the car, use it to charge your phone, and keep the day moving!

Your event tech kit, sorted from start to finish

Sure, virtual events and webinars are everywhere—and they’ve got their place. They’ve opened up new ways to connect, track metrics, and create networking opportunities that reach beyond the gates.

But you have to admit that nothing beats actually being there. The energy, the noise, the shared moments with mates, it’s why event professionals keep building bigger, better live experiences. And it’s why your tech needs to keep up.

From the drive in to the final encore, your event tech should have your back. And with the right essentials from Cygnett, you’re ready for anything the day throws at you and more.
