Why Moment
Programmed by a multi-festival operator
Maleny is programmed by David De Santi of Good Tunes, who runs several multi-stage music festivals across the east coast — including Peak Festival. He manages them all on Moment from a single backend login, so there's no new tool to learn for each event.
A schedule patrons actually plan around
Across three days and nine venues, patrons used the app to see what's on, build their own highlighted schedule, and share acts with friends.
Support that answers the phone
For a working festival programmer, responsive support matters as much as features — David points to Moment being on the phone whenever he needs it.
How patrons used it
Across the festival window, the Moment app for Maleny Music Festival saw:
- 1,495 unique users (devices) — nearly 1,500 patrons across the weekend
- 5,411 deep-link opens — patrons sharing and jumping straight to specific acts, venues, and times
I program multi-stage music festivals up and down the east coast — Peak Festival, Maleny Music Festival and Folk by the Sea. Moment's map is the standout feature for me, especially at Peak, where we have eight stages spread across Perisher Village. Patrons can see what's on, where it's happening and how to get there. At Maleny Music Festival 2025, we had nearly 1,500 patrons using the app across the weekend. The back end works well, and Kris is on the phone whenever I need him. It's the festival app I now use across all my events.
