Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

Enter the total number of stages and performers.
Define each artist’s set duration, genre, and popularity score (1–10).
Optionally include blackout periods or time constraints per stage or artist.
Click 'Randomize' to generate a mathematically optimized schedule.
Review diversity, efficiency, and genre clash metrics to evaluate the results.

Music Festival Line-Up Randomizer Description

What This Tool Does

The Music Festival Line-Up Randomizer is a smart scheduling engine that:

Randomizes artist order while respecting constraints
Balances genres, performance times, and popularity levels
Reduces bias and repetitive soundscapes
Boosts engagement through smart stage allocation

Pro Tip: Use genre weights and performer preferences to shape a line-up that flows seamlessly from start to finish.

How It Works

Step 1: Input Interpretation

Artists are assigned weights based on popularity, genre, and availability
Stage blackout windows and performance durations are factored in

Step 2: Optimization Process

The algorithm performs weighted random permutations, then applies constraints using bipartite graph matching. It ensures fair distribution of genres, pacing, and usage of all available slots.

Mathematical Metrics

Stage Allocation Efficiency:

Efficiency = (Σ Active_Performance_Time) / (Total_Festival_Duration × Number_of_Stages)

Randomized Line-Up Score:

Score = w₁ × Diversity_Index + w₂ × Time_Utilization - w₃ × Genre_Clash_Penalty

Where w₁, w₂, and w₃ are user-defined or default weights.

Edge Cases Handled

Uneven Performer Count: Excess performers are scheduled into bonus or shared sets.
Blackout Periods: Stages with unavailable time blocks are automatically skipped.
Genre Clustering: Similar genres are spaced apart to prevent fatigue.
Time-Specific Artists: The system honors earliest/latest allowed times per act.
Multi-Set Artists: Recurrence logic ensures minimum buffer time between sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

It uses a weighted permutation algorithm combined with genre clustering logic and time-slot optimization.

Yes, you can input performer constraints, blackout windows, and desired scheduling weights.

The system flags overflow and offers solutions like parallel acts, reduced sets, or overflow queues.

Yes, you can assign weights to genres or use a BPM pacing strategy for energy curve balancing.

Yes, the scheduler supports continuous timelines and introduces fatigue-aware gaps for late hours.

The tool applies buffer constraints across stages to prevent double-booking and allow realistic transition times.
