Festival Lineup & Schedule Optimizer

A mobile app that aggregates music festival lineups, creates personalized schedules based on your favorite artists, and sends real-time alerts so you don't miss sets. Helps festival-goers maximize their experience at multi-stage events like Governors Ball.

Festival apps get a seasonal spike every spring and summer, but the category has been tried repeatedly — Sched, Lineup Ninja, and even Spotify's own festival integrations have taken runs at personalized scheduling, leaving a crowded graveyard of abandoned apps. The $500–3k/mo revenue band reflects the harsh reality: festival-goers are a transient audience with no ongoing subscription incentive once the weekend ends, making per-download or one-time purchase models the only realistic monetization, which caps upside hard. A B2B pivot — selling to festival organizers directly as a white-label tool — is the more defensible angle, but that's a completely different sales motion than a consumer app. The most likely failure mode is distribution: without official partnerships with Coachella, Bonnaroo, or similar events, you're scraping or manually entering lineup data, which breaks constantly and destroys the core value proposition.
