Setlist-based Spotify playlist

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added new TBCs Saint Etienne and Police Dog Hogan to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist. Not had time to do the ETC finalists (all now SRs) yet, as they take a bit of research.

I've added Bossy Love and Hattie Whitehead to my own personal playlist, I really like them both, and hope one of them wins.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added the ETC acts to the playlist, so far as they're on Spotify (near the end, beginning with Bossy Love).

Bossy Love aren't for me but I agree about Hattie Whitehead, gorgeous folk in something of an early Laura Marling style. Impressed by Early Ghost's folkish rock too, the standard generally is very good.

If you like Whitehead also check out Billie Marten, who I've also added following @thurlow84's tip. A little more intense but just as good.

The Glastonbury 2016 playlist now features new self-confirmations/TBCs the Stereo MCs, Sidestepper, Eats Everything and Sam Piper. Also added the new PJ Harvey tune the other day.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added latest self-confirmations/TBCs James, Protoje, vangoffey and GotSome to the playlist.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Added latest self-confirmation Kiko Bun (accessible, commercial reggae, nice enough) to the Glastonbury 2016 playlist.

Poster middle column present and correct on the playlist...

It was good to have some advance notice!

2/3 of the left column done, down to Lady Leshurr, gotta take a break for a while. Obviously we had quite a lot of them already.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Centre and left columns now complete on the Glastonbury 2016 playlist. I think my favourite juxtaposition so far is Cyndi Lauper into Explosions in the Sky!

[mrfinn]

ahhhhhhh see NOW it feels like Glasto is COMING!!!! Cheers for doing this fella, was glued to last years list!

[Brave Sir Robin]

Playlist now features all the acts from the poster, in order (centre column, then left, right). Followed by the TBCs and then the SRs. As always songs are those the acts play live most often, based on recent setlists.

[JoeyT]

Any chance of an Apple Music version?

Once again super work BSR, see you for a pint on me at the event meet. Thank you.

[Fabrizzo]

Thank you Sir Robin...

What a strange comment. That link just creates a playlist of any one individual artist's most recent setlist from setlist.fm. It's nothing like this, which is a huge playlist of every Glastonbury act (including officially- and self-confirmed, TBCs & SRs), including the 5 songs each has played live most over the last 1-2 years (drawn from setlist.fm & other sources).

[Timberford]

Yeah I thought it might help make it easier/quicker to curate your combined playlist!

I'd imagine in the last set each artist has played, will include the songs you want to include in your combined playlist!

Often but not always, and it's never just the 5 most often played songs, so it'd add cutting out the rest to the task. Copying individual songs from one playlist to another is more fiddly than just adding a song from the general Spotify library. It's working out the 5 most played recently songs which is the (slightly) time-consuming bit, and SetListener does nothing to help that. Nor does it necessarily use the best/most appropriate version of each song that's available on Spotify, so I'd have to check what it's chosen for each track. Thanks for the thought, but it's not for me.

Just wondering, why is there some Simon & Garfunkel songs, but there isn't any Joy Divisions? Love will tear us apart and Atmosphere has got to be there right?

The playlist features the songs each act has included in their set most over the past year or two. Art plays mostly Simon & Garfunkel stuff. New Order do regularly play the two you mention, but not as much as their own tunes that are on there. Hell, they don't even play Blue Monday at every gig, the idjuts!

However, I agree that LWTUA ought to be on there, and looking again, they have played it every gig so far this year, and every English gig last year (apart from one for 6Music), so I've added it to the playlist.

[Miesh]

Just checked out the playlist.

It is amazing, thank you so much.

It must be very time consuming but it makes it easy for the rest of us.

[Avalon_Fields]

Yeah, well done, I was going to suggest a couple of relatively obscure acts but they're already on there! 

Just got Mbongwana Star on, they should be amazing live.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Cheers for the nice comments @Miesh and @Avalon_Fields, glad you're making use of it. I'm very much looking forward to Mbongwana Star myself, on a sunny afternoon in West Holts they should be just the ticket.

Added Four Tet from @your mother's tip-off. His 3 tracks clock in at over 45 minutes!
