Set times lock screens for shows across the Northwest

Every show we cover gets a set times lock screen, cut per day and stage, readable under the iOS clock. Pick a day and a stage, or build your own running order. Free, no login, at /lockscreens.

We make set times lock screens for the shows we cover across the Northwest. One per day, one per stage, sized for a phone and laid out so the running order lands where the clock and the control buttons don’t.

Official set times usually arrive as a square graphic built for the Instagram grid, so the wallpaper version is a screenshot you crop by hand and hope for the best. Ours are drawn as wallpapers from the start: readable at arm’s length, in the dark, on a phone you’re holding above your head.

They live at /lockscreens. Pick your event there, take a ready-made drop, or build your own on its page. No app, no login, no email.

Built to sit under the clock

A phone lock screen is not a blank canvas. The date, the big clock, and the widget row own the top quarter of the screen; the flashlight and camera controls own the bottom tenth. Every hand-cropped set times wallpaper fails in exactly those two places: the times you actually care about end up hidden behind system UI.

Ours leaves those zones empty on purpose. The clock reads against a quiet diagonal hatch up top; the running order sits in the middle band where nothing covers it; the wordmark sits down by the controls where nothing critical goes. It’s the same timetable we run inside every recap, re-cut for a tall dark screen: a teal time and the artist in uppercase, split by a hairline slash. Same look every festival, no per-event reskin.

Two ways to make one

Pick a day and a stage. Choose an event, a day, and a stage, and you get that stage’s running order as a wallpaper. Try it right now on our Bass Canyon 2023 archive: every stage, all three nights at the Gorge, already loaded in the generator.

Or build your own schedule. Tap the artists you want to catch across every stage and the tool merges them into one chronological running order, with a small stage tag on each row. No more holding three separate stage schedules in your head at 10PM. You get your night, in order, on your lock screen.

Pick your phone size (iPhone or Android presets), preview it with a ghost clock overlaid so you can see exactly how it’ll sit, and download the PNG, or share straight out on a phone that supports it.

What’s coming for the big weekends

Right now the worked example is the 2023 archive, because that’s the set of real, sourced set times we have on hand. The plan is the same tool, pointed at the festivals we cover: the hour official set times drop for a weekend like Bass Canyon, we regenerate the day-and-stage wallpapers and post them, and the generator lets you build your personal schedule from the same grid. The lock screen you screenshot in the parking lot should be as considered as the recap we run afterward.
