Never Miss a Cue Again: How The Barefoot Bandit Use Setlix to Stay Tight on Stage
When you’re on stage, the last thing you want is to forget a key moment — a cue, a transition, or even that perfect time to shout out your merch table.
For The Barefoot Bandit, tight arrangements and a polished live show are part of the package — but that didn’t happen by accident. Before Setlix, they'd scribble notes on paper setlists or rely on memory. "Sometimes we’d remember halfway through a tune: ‘Weren’t we meant to tell people about the merch here?’" says Alex, the bassist. “Too late.”
Now, every setlist includes embedded notes right in Setlix:
“Wait for keys cue before dropping in”
“Mention new single after this song”
“Drummer starts this one — no count-in!”
Everyone in the band sees the same notes, whether they’re on a phone, tablet, or laptop — no confusion, no missed moments.
They’ve even got reminders like:
🧢 “MERCH PLUG HERE — point to table!”
🎤 “Thank the support act before encore”
🌊 “Mention the next festival show after ‘Family’”
It’s a small feature, but it’s changed how The Barefoot Bandit performs.
“Setlix keeps the vibe high and the show professional,” says Josh. “We’re tight, we’re slick, and we never forget to sell a t-shirt.”
