To use Set List, artists need:

  • An artist image uploaded to Apple Music (serves as playlist cover art)
  • A connected Bandsintown account (recommended for concert discovery)
  • An optimized Apple Music artist page

Creating a Set List playlist is straightforward:

  1. Click the button in Artist Playlists section
  2. Choose event type (concert, tour, or residency)
  3. Connect upcoming shows (manually or via Bandsintown)
  4. Add desired tracks

Key features and benefits:

  • Schedule playlists to go live on specific future dates
  • Create unlimited Set List playlists for past or upcoming shows
  • Automatic integration with Shazam profiles
  • Helps fans discover and identify songs post-concert
  • Reaches fans unable to attend live events

This feature joins Apple Music's recent innovations, including worldwide radio spin tracking for artists and playlist export capabilities to YouTube Music. The platform continues to evolve alongside competitors Spotify and Amazon Music in delivering enhanced user experiences for both artists and listeners.
