In 2019, the Collective Management Organisations BumaStemra, NORMA and Sena joined forces to create the Music Rights on Tour initiative.

Submitting setlists in MijnBumaStemra

In MijnBumaStemra, we offer an intuitive way to create setlists. You can find the functionalities under the ‘Live’ tab. You have the option to manually add works to your setlist, or you can import an Excel list.

Manually creating a new setlist is simple: you can add works from your own repertoire, or you can search for works in our extensive Title Catalog or in the Spotify database. Your setlist will be ready in just a few clicks. The handy copy function allows you to reuse existing setlists, saving a lot of work after future performances.

Watch the video below for an introduction to the functionalities.

Submitting setlists after a live performance is crucial. This ensures that the songs played are linked to registered works, thereby ensuring that rightsholders are fairly compensated for the use of their music.

Setlists app

You can also submit your setlists in the Buma Setlists app. Click on the link below to see how this works.

Download the app for iOS or Android here.

If you can’t install the app, you can use this Excel sheet to submit your setlist. Please send the completed form to garing.podia@bumastemra.nl.
