Set
One set at a festival: who was on which stage, when, and — when it is worth saying — who was actually standing there.
Why personnel attaches to the set
A band's roster is a claim about the band. Who played is a claim about one night, and the two come apart constantly: a fiddler sits in, a regular misses the run, a lineup changes between the poster and the downbeat. You cannot get from this band played this festival plus this person is in this band to this person played this festival without quietly inventing the part you did not see.
So Has performer is only ever written from an observation. The roster — Has member, with its from and until dates — stays on the band page, where it belongs, and is used to render a likely lineup at display time. A derived lineup is never written back into Has performer.
Template:Lineup reached the same conclusion for records some time ago, in almost the same words: a lineup "is a caption, not a record". A festival set is the cut; this is the same rule in a field.
You do not have to fill in performers
Most of the time, don't. Has artist is cheap — it is just the printed schedule — and that alone makes the lineup queryable. Fill in performers when the lineup was worth remarking on: a substitute, a sit-in, a guest, a regular who wasn't there, a one-off configuration that will never happen again.
Those are the sets people actually write about, and they are the ones no official listing will ever record.
Usage
{{Set|artist=The Travelin' McCourys|stage=Main|date=2026-10-09|start=20:00}}
{{Set|artist=The Travelin' McCourys|stage=Main|date=2026-10-09|start=20:00
|performers=Ronnie McCoury; Rob McCoury; Alan Bartram; Cody Kilby; Christian Ward
|note=Christian Ward on fiddle; Jason Carter was out.}}
Parameters
- artist - The act as billed. Page-valued, and it does not have to be a band — a solo name, a workshop, or a one-afternoon outfit like Forest Thurman and friends all belong here.
- stage - As the festival writes it.
- date - ISO date of the set.
- start - 24-hour time,
20:00. Stored that way so it sorts; shown as 8:00 pm. - performers - Semicolon-separated. Only when observed. See above.
- type - Set, Workshop, Competition, Showcase. Defaults to Set.
- note - A short line: who sat in, what broke, why it was the one.
