For bands & venues

Who’s Playin’ lists your shows for people nearby who are looking for something to do tonight. It’s free, and you don’t have to sign up or post anywhere new.

What it is

One calendar of local live music and things to do in your area, so people don’t have to check fifteen Facebook pages to find a show. We gather shows every day from venue and band websites, public posts, ticket sites and promoters’ calendars, and a person checks anything we’re unsure about.

What’s in it for you

• New faces. Your shows reach people searching for something to do near them, not just your followers.
• Found on Google. Every show gets its own page that Google can list, with your name, date, time and address.
• Your own page. Upcoming and past shows, directions, and links to your website and socials.
• Fans follow you. People tap the heart to follow a band and see every upcoming show, or add them to their phone’s calendar.
• Easy to share. Every show has a share button, so fans can send it to friends in seconds.
• A free calendar for your website. One line of code shows your upcoming shows on your site and updates itself.

What you need to do

Nothing. Keep posting your shows the way you already do, and we’ll find them. If you want to make sure nothing is missed, each of these takes a few minutes, once:

1. Send your regular nights. Trivia every Tuesday, an open mic the first Friday: tell us once and we list every date.
2. Send your calendar link. Keep a Google Calendar or one on your website? We read it every night, so anything you add shows up the next day.
3. Claim your page. Show us it’s yours (a short code on your website, Instagram or Facebook, or by email) and it gets a Verified badge, your own description, photo and links.

You can also send a single show or a run of dates.

Common questions

Does it cost anything? No. Listings, your page, the website calendar and claiming your page are all free.

Do I need an account? No. There are no accounts for anyone.

How do you know my shows are right? We take them from your own website, posts and ticket pages. Anything we can’t confirm waits for a person, and we re-check today’s and tomorrow’s shows every morning.

Something’s wrong or cancelled? Use “Report a problem” on the show’s page, or email us. We usually fix it the same day.

Can I take a show or my page down? Yes, email us and we’ll remove it.

What do you do with my email? Only use it to ask about what you sent. We never share or sell it.
