5 Best Setlist Tracking Apps (2026) - Save Every Song

By Alexandra P. · Published 2025-08-15 · 3 min read

Founder of Gigvault — the concert tracker for live music fans.

After a concert, one of the first things fans do is look up the setlist. What was that third song? Did they play the deep cut I was hoping for? Fortunately, several setlist tracking apps make it easy to find, save, and revisit setlists from every show you attend.

Why Setlist Tracking Matters

A setlist is more than a list of songs — it's the blueprint of your concert experience. Knowing which songs were played helps you:

    • Relive the show by creating a playlist of the exact setlist
    • Compare shows across different tour dates
    • Discover songs you heard live but didn't know the name of
    • Share the experience with friends who couldn't attend
