Artists can use Set Lists to make playlists from their set lists in Apple Music for Artists, and fans can listen to songs for prospective tours or reminisce about past performances without having to search for songs to make a playlist.
Artists must have an Apple Music for Artists profile with an artist image that will serve as the playlist cover in order to utilize the new functionality.
Songs that have been played or will be played at events should be included in set lists, and artists are free to make as many lists as they have performed or plan to perform. Artists may also list other artists they have worked with or covered.
By linking a Shazam account, set lists are published on the Shazam app’s events pages as well as the Shazam artist page on Shazam.com. In order to facilitate the creation of set lists and guarantee that fans are aware of forthcoming performances, artists can also link their Apple Music artist profile to Bandsintown.
Make a Set List on Apple Music for Artists for Fans
To make a set list that fans can access, follow these steps:
- Go to Artist Playlists by navigating to Artist Content.
- Choose Create a Set List if this is your first time making one. Otherwise, select Artist Playlists by clicking the Add button.
- Choose if the set list is for a residency, tour, or concert.
- After adding the event name, add the event itself.
- A list of forthcoming events will be displayed for those who have linked their Bandsintown account to Shazam.
- If not, the date, location, and other event details can be manually entered.
- Decide when you want the playlist to be published on Apple Music; keep in mind that it must be at least one day in the future and that it should be on your local time and date.
- Click “Continue.”
- To locate songs for your set list, use the search function. You can type Apple Music links into the search bar or search by song name.
- To change the order, drag and drop tracks.
- Click Publish when you’re satisfied with the outcome.
Apple Music Set Lists Can Be Deleted or Hidden
Set lists can also be hidden or deleted by artists to get them off of Apple Music. To achieve that, follow these steps:
- Click the ellipsis next to the artist image after selecting the Set List from Artist Content that you wish to remove.
- Select if the list should be deleted or hidden.
- When you delete a set list, it is permanently removed from both your Apple Music for Artist profile and Apple Music. It was also taken out of user libraries.
- When a set list is hidden, it is taken out of Apple Music but remains in draft form in your Apple Music for Artist profile, allowing for future publication. The list in user libraries is not removed.
This new tool can also be used by artists to advertise forthcoming tours and performances. Artists may engage with both new and existing fans by sharing their playlist on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram using the Promote tool in the Apple Music for Artist app or online.
