The Live Setlists is the app for musicians, bands, and music fans who want to manage, collaborate on, and share setlists โ with a built-in player for Apple Music and Spotify. For DJs, musicians & bands Build your setlist from a shared track catalogue enriched with BPM, key, duration, streaming links, guitar tab and lyrics links. Drag tracks to set the running order, add per-track notes (capo, cue, custom key), and override any field for that specific show. Invite collaborators (band members, other DJs, clients) by email โ editors can add, remove, and reorder tracks in real time. Let the collaborators vote on which tracks to play: upvote, downvote, or pass, to find the crowd favourites. For fans Just came back from a show? Create a public setlist with the artist, venue, date, and every song in order โ complete with a concert photo. Share it with other fans, who can save it to their own collection. Announce an upcoming gig with a future date and update the list right up to stage time. Community-managed track data Any logged-in user can suggest a better value for any track field. Suggestions with the most votes are automatically promoted to the shared catalogue, keeping BPM, keys, and links accurate for everyone. A track is missing in the catalog? Just create it, the app will auto-fill all you need. Don't want to use your keyboard? Shazam recognition is embedded.
