New Features on setlist.fm!

Good news, everyone (stolen)! After weeks of hard work we not only changed the server infrastructure but also introduced some new features:

1. Venues
That's by far the biggest change. There was a notable amount of setlists with weird venues. Weird as they were duplicate, lacked of city or country or just contained question marks.
From now on, each venue must be assigned to a city. The user interface changed slightly for this one, but should be as easy as it was before.
It'll take some time though until all previously 'dirty' cities are assigned to a city.
This way we can come up with some new statistics in the future based on club, stadium, city, region or country.

There are now dedicated venue pages listing all setlists of the venue and venues in the same city. E.g. check out
For those interested: we get the cities from the huge geonames.org database and enhance them with cities and towns that are entered manually.

2. A list of covers on artist pages
Previously it was hard to find out who covered who. Now it's easy - get on any artistpage and you'll find a box showing which bands/artists got covered by this artist and which bands/artist sang covers of this artist. E.g.
3. Improved search
That's somehow connected with the venues - it's now possible to search for setlists by venue names, cities and countries using the advanced search. Generally all cities and countries are displayed in English, yet it's also possible to search by their name in some foreign languages.
E.g.
for some artists and cities, nicknames are also taken into consideration, so e.g. the funny query
As a usability improvement, there's also a box for artist results that lead you right to the artist pages, e.g. this query:
4. A hidden gem for you loyal blog readers
There's a hidden feature which is currently in beta - so we'd like to get your feedback first before we present it to the broad mass. In response to this suggestion on uservoice, there are now Average setlists for each artist that tell you what songs were played the most on which position. Check out how to see the average setlists and tell us what you think in the post on uservoice.

Hope you all like the new stuff - if you do or if you don't, tell us. Either in a comment to this blogpost, mail us, send us a tweet or direct message, add us as your friend on last.fm, become a fan on facebook or do all at once ;-)

rock on

Great job on creating such valuable content. The information about MBBS in Georgia is presented in a professional and easy-to-understand format, making it helpful for students who are comparing different study destinations. I look forward to reading more insightful articles from your blog.

The design philosophy of the Active 2 leans heavily into minimalism and elegance, offering a choice of aluminium or stainless steel cases, along with a variety of strap materials. The curved glass flows seamlessly into the case, giving the watch a refined appearance that dresses up or down depending on the band selected. Samsung has also paid close attention to software, including running coaching, auto-workout tracking, and stress management features that present data in digestible summaries. This makes the watch an excellent pivot point for users transitioning from basic fitness bands to smarter, more interactive wearables. To gain deeper insight into how this model fits within the broader Samsung ecosystem, it is helpful to explore the Samsung watch collection in detail, which highlights the design evolution across generations.

Compatibility with both Android and iOS devices broadens the Active 2's appeal, though the full suite of features is best experienced with a Samsung smartphone. Calls and texts can be answered directly from the wrist, and the speaker is sufficiently loud for quick conversations in quiet settings. The addition of fall detection and emergency SOS functions adds a layer of safety for older users or those with active lifestyles. With regular software updates even after release, Samsung has demonstrated a commitment to keeping the Active 2 relevant through iterative improvements. For a side-by-side look at how this wearable compares to the rest of the product line, one can view the Samsung timepiece selection online for comprehensive listings.

From a market positioning standpoint, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 sits as a direct rival to the Apple Watch Series 5, offering similar health features within a more open hardware ecosystem. The digital bezel is often cited as a key differentiator, providing an intuitive way to scroll through apps and notifications without smudging the screen. Samsung’s choice to equip the watch with a built-in speaker and microphone for calls, as well as offline Spotify playback on certain versions, has made it a compelling choice for users who want mobility without tethering. The fine line between smart functionality and all-day comfort has been carefully managed here, appealing to users who prioritize both aesthetics and utility.
 
One cannot discuss the Active 2 without acknowledging the role of the Tizen operating system, which offers a unique interface compared to Google’s Wear OS. Tizen is smooth and efficient, with a rich set of watch faces and tiles that can be rearranged to prioritize the most important data points. However, the smaller third-party app library is a genuine limitation that buyers should weigh. For users who primarily need notifications, health tracking, and quick interactions, this is rarely an issue, but those seeking deep integration with standalone apps may feel restricted. As an option for those who appreciate fine mechanical engineering alongside modern technology, one can browse the Breitling watch range for premium models, representing a different philosophy in wristwear entirely.

Venue pages and cover lists are game-changers — finally an easy way to see who covered who. I use Nano Banana Pro to create artist stats visuals.
