Detecting your location...
Born from eight years of watching brave souls wrangle clipboards and chaos at live shows. We built the tool we wished existed—and now we're sharing it with every scene.
A community app built by the scene, for the scene, paid for by the scene, and paying the scene.
Every December, something wild happens. Sixteen bands cram onto one stage for a Christmas chaos celebration—bands tossing presents to the crowd while we raise thousands of pounds of food and dollars for the food bank. Eight years of magic. And every year, one brave soul gets handed the clipboard of doom. Scribbling sixteen band names. Calculating fifteen-minute sets with five-minute changeovers. Answering when do we play for the hundredth time. The confusion. The pandemonium. The poor stage manager aging visibly through the night.
It was not just our Christmas show. Battle of the bands. Showcase nights. Cheerleading competitions. Festival stages. Corporate events. Everywhere live performance happened, someone was suffering with a clipboard and a prayer. So we built something. A timer first—tested at that same Christmas show. Year eight. The timer worked. The chaos disappeared. Bands knew when they played. The stage manager actually smiled. The crowd stayed happy. That is when NextSet was born.
The costs are purposely low—mostly to cover servers and let us give back to the community. This is not a grab for cash. It is infrastructure for the scene we love. Fans pay a small subscription, but invite friends, earn it back. Bring enough people, your membership is free. Bring more, earn credits for free drinks, free merch, and more. Venues get a cut of every subscriber who signs up at their shows. Bands get a cut too. Everyone earns. Everyone benefits. Built by the scene. For the scene. Paid for by the scene. Paying the scene.
