Setly turns every concert and festival you're going to into a live timeline, the way a flight tracker does for a flight. Add a show and Setly fills in doors, the expected set time, the best ticket price across sellers, the venue's bag and re-entry rules, how to get there, weather at doors, and what the artist played at past shows. On the night, a Live Activity counts down to doors on your Lock Screen, and the timeline updates as doors open and the headliner goes on. After the show, rate the night from 0 to 10 and heart the songs you loved; upcoming shows show how fans rated the tour and their favorite songs. Tag the friends you went with, see your taste from your ratings, and compare with friends on a leaderboard. FESTIVALS The full stage schedule so you can build your day, spot clashes, and compare with friends: how much you overlap and where you split. FRIENDS, PRIVATELY Friends are mutual. See who's going, who wants to go, and nudge them with one tap. Ticket numbers, seats and notes stay private. WRISTBANDS A wristband for every show you've been to, patches for your milestones, and the friends you go with most. BACKSTAGE (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) Free accounts add up to 3 new shows every 8 hours. Backstage removes that limit and adds the full likely setlist for upcoming shows (free shows the first three songs) with a Spotify playlist of it, your full records and habits, and first access to tickets for events Setly runs. $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage it in Settings. Everything else in Setly is free.
