Your festival lineup is prominently featured on your Bandsintown festival page and helps power fan alerts and discovery across the platform. Each artist’s set also gets its own event page, which is discoverable on Bandsintown and distributed to partners like Spotify, Google, YouTube, Apple, and more.
Fans can RSVP to individual sets to build a personalized schedule and get reminders when it’s time to catch their favorite artists.
If you haven’t set up your festival page yet, check out our help article: Setting Up and Publishing Your Festival

Adding Set Times and Headliner Status
After selecting the artist from the dropdown list, you can specify their set date/time (optional) and mark them as a headliner (optional).
Scheduled Artists
Once published, scheduled artists will be displayed on your festival page under the day they are performing.
Unscheduled Artists
Artists added without a set date will appear as “Unscheduled” in the Headliners or Lineup sections.
You can add a set date and time for unscheduled artists later
Once published, unscheduled artists will appear under “Date To Be Announced” on your festival page.
