Setlist Planner: Fit Your Songs Into the Slot
A setlist is a time budget as much as a song choice. This planner totals music and breaks so the slot stops being a guess.
What is the Setlist Planner?
A set that overruns can cost you an encore or a curfew fine. Enter how many songs you play, their average length, and your breaks, and this tool totals the stage time so you can fit the slot you were given.
How to use it
- Enter your values in the fields provided.
- Click Plan My Setlist.
- Read the result and adjust an input if you want a different outcome.
Worked example
Twelve songs averaging 4 minutes, plus one 5-minute break, need 53 minutes of stage time.
How long is a 12-song set averaging 4 minutes with one 5-minute break?
The music takes 48 minutes and the break adds 5, so the total stage time is 53 minutes.
