Musik i Gentofte Festival Wheel

A festival warm-up toy built in one evening, four days before attending Musik i Gentofte 2026 in Gentofte Sportspark. All nine acts on the lineup contribute their biggest Spotify tracks to one 60-song wheel: spin it, land on a song, and (with a connected Spotify Premium account) the song starts playing full-length right on the page. Danish UI, fully public, and deliberately simple: one page, one wheel, one button.

The track pool is baked at build time by an interactive script that starts from the artist IDs in the official program's own Spotify links, so no name guessing. The pool is headliner-weighted on purpose: Gilli and Rasmus Seebach get ten slots each, Thor Farlov eight, Drew Sycamore seven, and the rest five, so the wheel's odds favor the acts people came for. The script also survives the quirks of a development-mode Spotify app, falling back from blocked catalog endpoints to paged search queries validated against the program IDs.

Playback is 100 percent client-side: OAuth Authorization Code with PKCE (a public client id, no secrets, no server routes) plus the Spotify Web Playback SDK, ported from the Music Timeline Quiz's proven stack. Visitors without Premium get open-in-Spotify deep links instead. The wheel itself reuses the site's shared FeatureWheel component in controlled mode, with a scripted decelerating step sequence for the slot-machine spin, since a single physical fling deliberately caps at eight cards.
