Instafest: How to make your own Spotify festival lineup | Digital Trends Spanish


If you’re into any form of social media, chances are you’ve seen people posting their own custom music festival lineups based on their most-streamed artists on Spotify. However, if you go to the Spotify appyou won’t find the festival creation tool that everyone is using.

While Spotify offers many fun end-of-year features for subscribers to enjoy, such as annual playlists from Spotify Wrapped, the fantastic festivals come from a free third-party app called Instafest. Fortunately, anyone with a Spotify account can use it to make a custom festival lineup. If you’re looking to join in the fun and make a unique festival, or just see who your most played music artists are, follow the steps below to create your own Instafest lineup.

What is Instagramfest?

Before using Instafest, you are probably wondering what it really is. And that’s a fair question!

Instafest is a free third party website created by the developer Anshay Saboo. In an interview with TechCrunchSaboo told the publication that the idea for Instafest came when he was thinking about Coechella.

According to Saboo, “I got the idea when I was in bed scrolling through TikTok one day, I saw people posting Coachella videos, and I started thinking about how I would set up the Coachella lineup if I got to pick the artists.”

Instafest is 100% free and you access your Spotify account using the official APIs of the service.

How to Make an Instafest Spotify Festival

As mentioned above, you’ll need an active Spotify account to use Instafest. If you don’t currently have a Spotify account, you can sign up for free. However, because Instafest takes a look at your listening data, you’ll need to use the streaming app for a while before you can make a fest that’s personal to you and your favorite artists.

It’s also worth noting that if you’re not a frequent music listener, you may not get the three-day festival that most people are posting about, as you may have fewer artists for Instafest to choose from. If that’s the case, you may only get a day or two lineup.

The steps below can be followed on a smartphone or a computer.

Step 1: go to www.instafest.app and selectSign in with Spotify.

Step 2: Enter your Spotify login information and then select Log in.

Step 3: Review the privacy information that appears and select To accept.

Step 4: View your custom lineup by scrolling down and selecting any of the options under the heading Personalize. You can change the artists in the lineup based on your listening habits of the last four weeks, six weeks, or your most listened to artists of all time. You can also change the style of the graphic and hide your Spotify username if you want.

Step 5: Choose save and share below the festival graphic.

Step 6: Select Discharge either Share. Download saves the image if you are using the application on a computer. If you want to save the image to your camera roll when using a smartphone, select Share>Save Picture. You can then select how you want to share the graphic, either by texting it directly to someone or by sharing it on a social media platform.

Does Instafest work with Apple Music?

While Spotify is the way most people have been using Instafest, it’s not the only music service the website supports.

In addition to Spotify, Instafest also works with Last.fm. And soon, Saboo has confirmed that Apple Music is the next service you’ll be able to use Instafest with. Currently You can’t use Instafest with Apple Music, but it looks like you won’t have to wait much longer for that to change. And in the meantime, you can use Apple Music Replay to get a good overview of your listening stats.
