Going to a show? See what they're likely to play before you get there. ConcertPrep looks at a band's recent setlists and gives every song a chance of being played tonight: the locks, the rotation picks and the wildcards. When the show's over, the actual setlist is there to compare, along with how many songs the forecast called. PREDICTIONS FOR ANY TOUR • A forecast for each upcoming show, song by song, with how often each one has turned up lately • Openers and closers, songs that have been dropped from the tour, and the rare ones worth hoping for • Recent setlists in full, with the songs you've already heard live marked • Every song's history: how often it's played, when it last appeared, and what it's about YOUR CONCERTS, ALL IN ONE PLACE • Log the shows you've been to: search by band, paste a list, or add one by hand • See them by year, band, city and country, on a globe of everywhere you've seen music • Rate each night and keep notes; add the setlist yourself if it's missing SHARE YOUR LIVE YEARS • Turn your log into a card: a ticket, a poster, the numbers, or a map of your places • Share one band, one year, one city or one country, right from that page • The poster lists the songs you heard live, rarest first FOLLOW THE BANDS YOU LOVE • Follow artists to see their upcoming shows and the rare songs they've just played • Suggestions based on the shows you've logged ON YOUR APPLE WATCH • The shows you're going to, with tonight's up top • Tonight's forecast in set order or by chance, readable at a glance • Saved on the watch for the venue, even with no signal TAKE THE SETLIST WITH YOU • Send any setlist to Apple Music as a playlist, to learn the songs before the show MAKE IT YOURS • Four themes, light and dark, and three text sizes Setlist data comes from setlist.fm, the community-built setlist wiki, and every setlist links back to its source. ConcertPrep is a free, non-commercial project: no ads, no paid tiers, and nothing that tracks you for advertising.
