A typical club set is 45–75 minutes. Festival slots run 30–60 minutes. Wedding bands play 3–4 hours with breaks. Always plan 2–3 extra songs in case your set runs short.
| Venue Type | Set Length | Songs | Transitions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Mic | 10–15 min | 3–4 | 15–30 sec |
| Club | 45–75 min | 12–20 | 15–30 sec |
| Festival | 30–60 min | 8–15 | 10–20 sec |
| Wedding | 4×45 min sets | 60–80 total | 10–15 sec |
For a tight, professional show: 15–20 seconds between songs. For bands that tune or chat: 30–45 seconds. Acoustic acts often need 30–60 seconds for capo changes and tuning.
Plan 1–3 songs for an encore, totaling 5–15 minutes. Leave your best-known song for the encore. The "gap" between set end and encore is typically 1–2 minutes of crowd response.
Pop songs average 3:00–3:30. Rock songs average 3:30–4:30. Jam bands and prog rock can exceed 7–10 minutes. When planning a set, use your actual song times, not guesses.
