Setlist Guy Methodology:

How do we know what songs bands are going to play before a tour or festival?

Tours: To create the setlist playlists, we look at the most recent shows of the artists and import those setlists, then combine them in the order that the bands will likely appear. When you see other artists songs in the middle of a set, we’ve included original songs that are covered by the band but have not been released by the performing artist.
Once a tour has started, we try to update the setlist playlists to better match what the bands are playing on this specific tour.

When there is no setlist information for a band, mostly newer/upcoming bands; we will contact them to get setlist info. When we hear back, we build a setlist based on what they give us. If not, we will create a possible setlist from their Spotify top-10.

We will add new singles to upcoming and current setlist playlists if they were just released or if the band has not played any shows since the single was released.

Festivals: Festival setlist playlists are usually alphabetical to allow users to quickly find the bands they want to hear. Festival sets are almost always a bit shorter than headline shows or opener slots on regular tours. We use the setlist from these shows; therefore, a band may have eight tracks in the festival setlist playlist but only play five songs at the show. If the band has recently played other festivals, we will use that setlist.

Special Shows: In the case of one-off shows, shows with known special guests, benefit concerts, etc.; the setlist playlists may include sets of artists, hits of the artists and special guests, cover songs that guests artist have performed that are somehow related to the show. We love to get insider information and fan insights leading up to these shows! Fan interaction only can make the setlist playlists better.

As noted in the FAQ section, if you notice any mistakes in our setlist playlists, on the website, in a post or if you have insight about a setlist; please contact us via DM in FB, IG, TikTok, X or email info@setlistguy.com.

If there are any Kevin’s or Karen’s out there that have a problem with what we do or just want to complain; STFU, just keep scrolling, nobody likes you.
