Gigs & setlists

  • From shared setlist to stage sheet

    How to get a clean numbered setlist onto the monitors without screenshotting a Google Doc - one tap from the setlist everyone already shares in BandVolt.

  • Spotify playlist vs a real rehearsal setlist

    Many bands rehearse to a Spotify playlist. Here is what it can't do - unreleased songs, live arrangements, keys and BPM - and what a purpose-built setlist tool does instead.

  • Rehearse the live version, not the album cut

    BandVolt setlists can use any version of a song - album cut, extended live arrangement, or abridged edit - plus unreleased tracks no streaming playlist can hold.

  • Tech rider and stage plot: what to send a venue

    What to put in a tech rider and a stage plot, and how to keep both on the gig so the 11pm email from the venue takes two minutes.

  • The gig nobody put in the calendar

    Half the band found out about the show from the venue's Instagram. A shared band calendar fixes the scheduling chaos that kills good bands.

  • The five-minute setlist

    How to build and share a setlist without the spreadsheet - sequencing a set that works, keeping the live arrangement rather than the album cut, printing a stage sheet, and keeping one current version everyone can see.
