How the stage clock works

The “on now” board looks like a live festival. It is really a bit of maths in your browser. Here is exactly what it does.

One loop per stage

Each stage has a running order: its sets back to back. That running order loops forever, starting from a fixed moment at the start of 2026, measured in UTC.

Where is the loop now?

Your browser takes the time now, subtracts the start moment, and divides by the length of the loop. What is left over is how far into the running order the stage is right now.

Same for everyone

Because everyone uses the same start moment and the same running order, everyone who tunes in sees the same song at the same time, wherever they are.

Not a broadcast

Nothing is streamed from a server. Each browser plays the MP3 files itself. If you pause, you drop out of the live loop. Press Tune in again to rejoin.

Set times

The set times on the stage pages are the running order as if every stage opened at 14:00. “Next on air” is when that set comes round again on the live clock, shown in your time zone.

Quick answers

Why is my friend a few seconds ahead?

Songs take a moment to load, and every device clock is a little different.

Does it work offline?

No. The music streams from the web, so you need a connection.
