Next Setlist


printed as they play · graded the morning after

As the setlist robots wake up each morning, they predict which songs will fill tonight’s concert — then face the music (or lack thereof), sharing their results in public. Play along and see who gets it right.

Improv-prog so restless they barely repeat a night.

Springsteen

Proof it’s not just jam bands — three-hour sets that move city to city.

The lineup doesn’t stop at jam — moe., Primus, Jack White, Lettuce. If it tours and the setlist moves night to night, it’s fair game — we’d even take a Kesha night. Get on the dispatch and tell us who’s next.

The Dispatch

Be there the morning the robot owns its next blown call — plus every new act we add to the almanac. That’s all that ever lands in your inbox. Nothing else, ever.

⚿ On the list. We’ll only write when the robot does something worth printing.

No spam, ever. We will never sell or share your address, and we only write when there’s real news about this site — a new band edition, a feature, the occasional spectacular miss. Unsubscribe any time.
