Setline has everything you need for festival season. Build your perfect schedule, keep your tickets ready, follow the artists you love, and plan the whole weekend with your crew. Whether you're heading away for a full weekend or out for a single day, Setline makes sure you're always where the music is. ā–ŗ Browse Local or Global Find festivals near you, or by your favourite genres and artists. Connect Apple Music or Tidal and see your personal Festival Match for the festivals playing your favourites. Planning a trip? Switch to map view and explore the globe with World Tour. ā–ŗ Build Your Perfect Schedule Browse complete festival lineups and tap to add artists to your personal schedule. Setline automatically detects conflicts when two of your picks overlap, so you can make the tough calls before the music starts. ā–ŗ Go With Your Crew Start a crew for any festival and invite your friends. Everyone's picks sit side by side so you can see the sets you'll all be at, sort out who's driving and who still needs a seat, and split the packing list so you don't end up with four marquees and no sunscreen. Plans, jokes and last minute changes all live in one place instead of five group chats. ā–ŗ Find Each Other Compare schedules with friends to see exactly where your plans overlap, and which artists they're seeing that you might be missing. Drop custom pins on the festival map for your campsite, car park or meeting point, and share them so nobody gets lost. Share your location just for the festival, and only with the friends you choose. ā–ŗ Check Your Steps Compete with your friends on who puts in the most dance steps, and see a set by set breakdown of which artists got you moving. Ready to prove you're #1? Go for gold on the festival leaderboard. ā–ŗ Discover the Lineup Don't know every artist? No problem. Preview top tracks from every artist through Apple Music, with full tracks for subscribers and 30 second previews for everyone. Then get ready for the trip there with auto generated Apple Music and TIDAL playlists of the full lineup or just your picks. ā–ŗ Follow Your Favourite Artists Follow the artists you never want to miss and we'll tell you when they're announced for a festival. See everywhere they're playing next, and get suggestions from artists already in your music library. ā–ŗ Keep Your Tickets Ready Add your tickets once and they're ready at the gate all weekend, no digging through your inbox. Multi ticket orders stay together, so your early entry, weekend pass and car pass are one swipe apart. Add them to Apple Wallet, and send friends theirs when you bought for the whole group. ā–ŗ Works Without Signal Festival coverage is unreliable. Setline is built offline first, so your schedule, tickets, maps and lineup are always there. Changes sync automatically when you're back online. ā–ŗ Stay in the Loop Set reminders before performances so you never miss a set, plus get notified when it's time to move between stages. On festival day, get a personal notification with your first set and the weather forecast so you know what to wear. Live Activities put your current and upcoming sets right on your Lock Screen, updating in real time as the day unfolds. Home Screen widgets count down the days until your next amazing festival. ā–ŗ Share Your Lineup Generate beautiful, customisable schedule images for your socials. Use the inbuilt preset, or go VIP to unlock more templates and full custom styling with your own colours, fonts, backgrounds and effects. ā–ŗ Navigate the Grounds Interactive festival maps show every stage, food vendor, bathroom and point of interest. Toggle between satellite and standard views, search for locations, and use your GPS to find your bearings. Add your own custom pins for personal landmarks. ā–ŗ Made by Festival Lovers for Festival Lovers Setline is free to use, with a VIP subscription available to unlock custom styles. Subscribing helps us keep creating more ways to improve your festival day.
