Fictional festival. AFTERHOURS is a self-initiated design concept. Every artist, stage and price on this page is invented, no tickets are sold, and nothing here is a client commission.

Afterhours

Four stages. Forty-five sets. A timetable built for people who leave when the lights come up — so the clock keeps counting past midnight instead of resetting to zero.

01 / The bill

Forty-five
invented acts.

Filter by day, room or genre, search by name, then add sets to a personal list. Your list is kept in this browser only — nothing is sent anywhere.

02 / Timetable

Four rooms,
one timeline.

Every set is drawn to scale against a single clock that runs from doors to the last record. Sets after midnight stay on the night they belong to, so a 23:40 set and a 00:20 set are one hour apart, not twenty-three.

The timeline scrolls sideways. Focus it and use to pan, or Tab through the sets. Choosing a set opens its details, where you can add it to your list and hear a generated sketch.

03 / My set list

What you'd
actually catch.

Clashes are worked out from the real start and end times of the sets you picked. Two sets clash when their intervals genuinely overlap; back-to-back sets do not. With walking time on, a gap smaller than the walk between two rooms is flagged as tight.

Nothing picked yet.

Add a few sets from the bill or the timetable and this becomes your running order, with any collisions called out underneath.

04 / Site plan

Where the
rooms are.

A schematic of the imagined site. The numbers on each path are the walking estimates the timetable uses when it decides whether a changeover is realistic.

Schematic site plan of the four AFTERHOURS stages Mainframe sits at the centre north of the site, The Vault to the west, Glasshouse to the east and Late Chapel to the south. Walking estimates: Mainframe to Vault 6 minutes, Mainframe to Glasshouse 4, Mainframe to Chapel 9, Vault to Glasshouse 5, Vault to Chapel 7, Glasshouse to Chapel 6. The entrance is at the south-west corner, 5 minutes from The Vault. MAINFRAME cap. 9 000 THE VAULT cap. 3 200 GLASSHOUSE cap. 2 400 LATE CHAPEL cap. 900

The plan is a diagram, not a drawing of a real place — every distance is a number the timetable actually reads.

05 / Passes

Illustrative
pricing only.

A pricing layout with a working calculator, so the numbers respond instead of sitting there as decoration. Nothing is for sale: there is no checkout, no payment step and no signup.

    Prices are invented for this concept and are not an offer. The calculator runs entirely in your browser; no card details are collected, because there is nowhere for them to go.

    06 / About this build

    Honest
    small print.

    It is not a real festival

    AFTERHOURS, its four stages and all forty-five acts were written for this portfolio piece. Any resemblance to a real event or artist is coincidence, not affiliation.

    The audio is generated, not recorded

    Set previews are short sketches synthesised in your browser with the Web Audio API from each act's listed tempo and key. They are not tracks by anyone, real or invented, and they only ever play when you press play.

    Nothing leaves your device

    Filters, your set list and the pass calculator all run locally. The set list is stored in this browser's local storage so it survives a refresh, and the Clear button removes it.

    No sales, no fake credentials

    There is no ticketing, no waitlist and no newsletter capture. There are no client logos, awards or testimonials on this page, because there is nothing to claim.

    Generated audio sketch

    Built live in your browser from this act's tempo and key. It is not a recording, not a track, and not by any real artist — it is a few bars of synthesis that stop after about eight seconds.
