Pukkelpop Play : prelisten the lineup YouTube Spotify Google Music #pkp17 #pkp16 #pkp15 chrome extension

WHY & HOW ?

Since I am a pretty avid music fan, a regular Pukkelpop visitor and a web developer/ux designer, I like my music as my technology, new, exciting and innovative. And working in webdevelopment and UX and browsing the web 24/7 made me pretty critical too on how things should work (for me). And if they don’t, how I can make ’em work for me.

One thing that I missed on the Pukkelpop site is that I wanted to quickly listen to all the 200+ artists on the roster. And quickly, just from a click in the line-up overview.

So, I built a chrome extension which does exactly that. I had never built a chrome extension before, so thought this might make a nice use case. Scratching my own itch

Update 2016 :
You can now install the extension directly from the Chrome Web Store

FOLLOW THESE 3 SIMPLE STEPS

If you want to try it, you need the chrome browser, so make sure you use that (won’t work without)

1. Download the chrome extension file here
2. You’re done. Just head over to the Pukkelpop site with the line-up, eg. https://www.pukkelpop.be/nl/line-up/donderdag/schedule/ and click the name of an artist in the grid (make sure screen is wide enough, so you see the grid). In the popup there will be icons for YouTube, Spotify and Google Music for that specific artist. Click the music service of your choice. It’ll open in a new tab.
