The burn ends. The music doesn't. BurnerSets is an independent guide to the music of Burning Man's sound camps and art cars: find the sets you remember, discover the ones you missed, and follow the music back to where it was first posted. LISTEN ⢠2,792 recorded sets from 2007 to 2026, from Robot Heart to the smallest camp. ⢠Search by artist, camp or set; browse by year. ⢠Every set opens at its original source on SoundCloud, YouTube or Mixcloud. BurnerSets doesn't host or copy any audio. ⢠The list is kept on your phone, so you can browse it without signal. Listening needs a connection. PLAN ⢠The published lineups for burn week, from the camps and art cars themselves. ⢠Scheduled now and up next, worked out from published times, plus every night's running order. ⢠Every artist and every camp and art car, with their sets and the recordings made there. ⢠Star sets to build your own running order, and star camps to keep them close. FIND YOUR WAY ⢠Pick a camp and the compass points at it: bearing and straight-line distance. ⢠A Live Activity keeps your target on the lock screen. ⢠Art cars move, so they get a region, never a pin pretending to know where they are. HONEST BY DESIGN ⢠No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. ⢠Your location is used on your phone only, while the app is open, and never sent anywhere. ⢠Schedules change. BurnerSets shows when its information was last updated. Independent music discovery and planning companion. Not affiliated with Burning Man Project, or with any camp, art car or artist listed.
