| Submission declined on 15 February 2025 by LunaEclipse (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The platform allows users to contribute and edit setlists collaboratively, serving as a resource for fans, researchers, and music journalists. Setlist.fm provides a space for the documentation and analysis of live music performances.
History
[edit]Setlist.fm was launched in 2008 as a community-driven platform for cataloging live concert setlists.[1] In 2012, the site was acquired by Live Nation Entertainment,[2][3][4] integrating it further with music-related services and industry data sources.
Functionality
[edit]Setlist.fm allows users to create, edit, and browse setlists for concerts, facilitating collaborative contributions. Key features of the platform include:
- Community editing: Users can add or modify setlists.
- Integration with MusicBrainz: Artist and song data are linked to the MusicBrainz database.[5]
- Statistics: The platform provides data on the frequency of song performances.
- Public API: A public API allows developers to access data for creating third-party applications.[6]
Reception and Impact
[edit]Setlist.fm has been referenced by several prominent music media outlets, including Rolling Stone, Billboard, and NME, for its role in concert documentation and analysis.[7][8][9]
Criticism and Controversies
[edit]Some critics have raised concerns that the availability of setlists on Setlist.fm may reduce the element of surprise in live performances. This could lead to more predictable concerts, potentially affecting the audience experience.[10]
Additionally, there are concerns that an emphasis on setlists might detract from the overall concert experience by focusing more on the setlist than on other aspects of the performance.[11]
