The Setlist App Built for Gigging Bands
Not just a list tool. A complete setlist system — connected to your song library, your band, your show history, and the crowd.
Setlistly is the setlist app used by gigging bands, cover bands, wedding bands, and solo musicians to build smarter sets, stay in sync on stage, and get better every night.
Why most bands outgrow basic setlist tools
A notes app works when you have 10 songs and play once a month. It breaks down when you have 80 songs across three band members, play 3 different event types that need different sets, and need to update the setlist at soundcheck while standing next to the stage.
The real problems with unorganized setlist management:
- —Someone shows up with last week's setlist because the update didn't reach them in time
- —You can't tell how long your set runs without adding up every song manually
- —There's no record of what you played at a venue 6 months ago — or how it landed
- —The song you added to slot 4 hasn't been properly rehearsed and no one remembered to flag it
- —You play the same 15 songs every night because rearranging is too much friction
Setlistly solves all of these. Not with more features for their own sake — with a setlist system that's connected to everything a working band needs.
Everything in one setlist app
Shared Song Library
Every song your band plays lives in one shared library — with keys, tempos, lyrics, chords, status, and ratings. Build setlists from your actual catalog, not from memory.
Drag-and-Drop Setlist Builder
Arrange songs in any order with automatic runtime calculation. Set your show start and end time and Setlistly fills it — no math, no guessing.
Build For Me & Remix Set
Build For Me generates a setlist based on your ratings, song readiness, and play history. Remix Set reorders an existing set for better energy flow. Both in one tap.
Real-Time Band Sync
Every change syncs instantly across every band member's device. Change the opener at soundcheck and everyone's app updates immediately — no group texts needed.
Gig Mode
A full-screen stage view with large text, no distractions, and one-tap navigation between songs. Designed to be read in the dark from a mic stand or floor monitor.
Show Management
Schedule gigs with venue details, load-in times, and booking contacts. Clone past shows to build new ones in seconds. Track your show history over time.
Crowd Voting
Let fans vote on songs before the show. Share a link and let the audience have a say — then build your set around the data.
Song Analytics
See which songs are overplayed, which crowd-pleasers haven't been played in months, and which tracks are consistently landing. Make every setlist better than the last.
Venue Intelligence
Track what you played at each venue and how it landed. See patterns across hundreds of gigs and tailor your set to each room.

Common questions about Setlistly
Is Setlistly really free to start?
Yes. The free plan includes unlimited songs, up to 3 band members, and 5 shows — more than enough to see whether it works for your band before committing to anything.
What makes Setlistly different from other setlist apps?
Most setlist apps are just list tools. Setlistly connects your setlist to your full song library, your show history, crowd reaction data, and band analytics — so every setlist you build is informed by what's actually working.
Does my whole band need to use the app?
Members join via an invite link. They don't need to do any setup — they join your band's workspace and immediately see all setlists, songs, and upcoming shows.
Can I use it on stage?
Yes. Gig Mode is specifically designed for stage use — full screen, high contrast, large text, no notifications. Works on phones, tablets, and laptops.
Does it work for cover bands?
Setlistly is used by thousands of cover bands. The song library handles large catalogs (100+ songs), the setlist builder lets you quickly build event-specific sets, and Gig Mode works great for bands reading from a setlist on stage.
What about solo musicians?
Setlistly works for solo performers too. Use the song library to track your full catalog, build setlists for each gig, and use Gig Mode on stage. The free plan is perfect for solo artists.
