If you’ve logged on to Twitter in the last day or two, most likely you’ve seen an Instafest.<\/em><\/p>\n

They look like this…<\/p>\n

Or this…<\/p>\n

To be perfectly honest, the first few times I scrolled past thinking it was an actual<\/em>, real-life festival. But after seeing them pop up everywhere, with dramatically different lineups, it clicked. Yep, this was another Spotify thing.<\/p>\n

Instafest is a third-party app that hooks into your Spotify data to automatically create a fantasy festival lineup featuring artists you’ve been listening to on your Spotify account. Apps like icebergify<\/span> and Festify do pretty much the same thing. <\/p>\n

The main point of difference? Instafest just looks really nice. It’s well designed and clean, and mimics the three-day style of most major festivals. It also allows you to mildly customize the look and feel of the poster.<\/p>\n

The app was created by Anshay Saboo, a student at the University of Southern California, who’s built a bunch of apps in the past, including one designed to help students keep track of their grades.<\/p>\n

How do I create my own Instafest?<\/h2>\n

It’s pretty straightforward. Simply head to the Instafest site, log on to your Spotify account and voila. Just be aware the app is drawing from your personal Spotify data.<\/p>\n

Afterward, you can change a few settings. You can choose the style of the poster, along with the period of time the festival draws the data from to create the lineup.<\/p>\n

It looks a little like this:<\/p>\n
