There’s that moment when a rock band plays their ballad and everyone’s lighters go up in the air, but yours doesn’t. Because you don’t have one. Or you don’t want to use your gas. Or you’ve spent too much time burning the tips of your fingers trying to last the whole emotional chorus.
Zippo have a solution. The lighter manufacturer and Download Festival sponsor have launched a limited edition app upgrade that lets you join in with those moments regardless.
Their Virtual Zippo Lighter app has been re-branded for a short time, depicting the festival themed paraphernalia.
With over 22 million downloads already, the app responds to your movement, letting you open it with a flick of a wrist and swaying as you do.
Grab it for iPhone and Google Play now, and head to the Download Festival website for full details and tickets for next weekend’s shenanigans.
