Banish chart and version confusion for good.
Finally, a set list tool built to solve the endless music library chaos that every event band has endured since the beginning of time.
-
1 Centralized Music Library
Store all your songs, MP3s, sheet music, notes and song info in one easy-to-use interface. Upload a master PDF and map specific pages to specific roles (e.g., page 2 for Trumpet), so members only see the sheet music assigned to them.
-
2 Drag & Drop Set List Builder
Drag and drop to reorder songs, add custom notes, and assign vocalists. Back On Stage automatically calculates your total performance time based on song tempos and durations. There’s never been an easier way to build a set.
-
3 Performance Mode
Your ultimate gig-day companion. Each musician sees the same song list, but display filters let them customize their view. Sheet music is automatically distributed to the correct musician, complete with an integrated MP3 player.
The Real Cost of "Wingin' It"
Manual setlists and messy shared drives aren't just frustrating—they cost you time, money, and professionalism. Here is the exact math on what switching to Back On Stage does for your bottom line.
12+ Hrs
Saved Per Month
The average band spends 3 hours per gig manually digging through Google Drive, emailing individual PDF charts, and texting YouTube links. At 4 gigs a month, that's 12 hours wasted. BOS automates it all instantly.
$1,080+
Saved Per Year on Dropbox
Ditch expensive cloud storage! Dropbox Business charges $15/user/month—costing a standard 6-piece band $1,080 a year. Back On Stage includes unlimited file storage and automatic role-based permissions at no extra cost per user.
10 Min
Substitute Prep Time
Prepping a sub usually takes 90 minutes of digging up specific parts, writing long emails, and finding audio references. With BOS, simply add them to the gig and they instantly have their exact sheet music and MP3s. You're done in 10 minutes.
The Ultimate Setlist Ecosystem
A complete breakdown of every tool included in the Back On Stage Repertoire module.
| Music Library & Storage | |
|---|---|
| Unlimited Storage | Upload unlimited PDF sheet music, MP3 recordings, and stage plots to every song without worrying about arbitrary data limits or paying per user. |
| Role-Based PDF Assignments | Upload a master PDF and map specific pages to specific roles (e.g., page 2 for Trumpet). Musicians only see the sheet music assigned to their instrument. |
| Video Link Integration | Paste YouTube or Vimeo links directly into your songs to give your band instant access to live performances or choreography references. |
| Advanced Song Metadata | Track song keys, BPM/tempos, lengths in seconds, original artists, and custom band notes all in one centralized database. |
| Smart Tagging | Tag songs (e.g., "First Dance", "Corporate", "No Horns") so you can filter and find the perfect tunes in seconds. |
| Lead Vocalist Tracking | Keep a running list of which singers in your roster know which songs, so you always know who can cover what. |
| Setlist Builder | |
| Drag & Drop Reordering | Effortlessly build and reorganize your sets by simply dragging songs into the perfect order. |
| Automatic Time Calculation | As you add songs, the builder automatically calculates the total performance time based on the lengths saved in your library. |
| Gig-Specific Vocal Assignments | Have multiple singers who know a song? Assign exactly who is singing lead on a specific gig so there's no confusion on stage. |
| Set Dividers & Notes | Add dividers to break up your sets (Set 1, Set 2) and inject standalone text notes (e.g., "Band Intros", "Speeches") right into the flow of the setlist. |
| Attach to Bookings | Link setlists directly to your gigs in Back On Stage so the entire band is automatically notified and granted access. |
| Secure Sharing | Generate a secure, login-required link to share with your band, ensuring your proprietary charts don't leak to the public. |
| Performance Mode | |
| Interactive Gig Binder | A responsive, mobile-friendly interface designed to be mounted on a mic stand and read clearly from any tablet or phone. |
| Integrated MP3 Player | A built-in audio player stays pinned to the screen, allowing musicians to listen to reference tracks while simultaneously reading their sheet music. |
| Personalized Views | When a musician opens Performance Mode, it automatically filters the master setlist to show only the PDF charts assigned to their specific role. |
| Download All PDFs | Playing a gig in a basement or barn with no WiFi? Use the "Download All" button before you leave home to save all your required charts locally for offline use. |
| Dark & Light Mode | Toggle between light and dark modes to save battery life and reduce eye strain on dark stages. |
"Where your system completely outshines anything that I've seen on the market is the repertoire..."
"...especially for me when sharing my backing tracks and sharing charts... not only just uploading one track, but you give me the opportunity to upload multiple tracks so I can give my tracks without guitar, without drums, without bass so my guys can have a way to go and practice.
I can assign those charts to only the people I want to see them which means my charts are safe and they're not gonna be sent out to everybody. My hat off to you guys. It's made my life a lot easier."

Start Free TrialFrequently Asked Questions
We've answered a few questions here, but hit the chat button to connect with us if you've got more!
Is there a limit to how many songs I can upload?
Nope. You can upload as many songs and files as you need to your music library. Unlimited storage is included in all our paid plans.
Is there an app to download?
Back On Stage is a web app, meaning there is nothing to download and you won't find us in the app store. You can access our app on any device with an internet connection. We recommend saving our app to your home screen on your mobile device for easy access.
Can musicians access set lists and sheet music offline?
Because Back On Stage is a web app, an internet connection is required to access set lists and sheet music. If your gig is in a place where there is no internet, we recommend using the "Download All PDF" function inside Performance Mode to download all the PDFs you need and store them locally on your device before you head to the gig.
Is there support?
Yes. We offer chat and email support for your entire team, available from 9am-5pm Mon-Fri PST.
