Automatic imports (Premium Feature — Currently Free)
Already publish your calendar on your own website or a ticketing platform? We can often pull your events in automatically so you don't have to double-enter. Tell us where your events live and we'll set it up.
Featured & promoted listings (Coming Soon)
Want to stand out? Featured listings put your shows at the top of relevant searches and on the homepage, so more fans see them first.
Venue tools & analytics (Coming Soon)
Claimed venues get access to a dashboard showing how many people are viewing your events, clicking through to tickets, and following your venue — so you can see what's working. Booking and calendar tools are on the way.
Common questions
Why is my venue already listed?
Your venue may have been created by an artist or by an import of events from another location. You can claim your venue today to take control.
Does it cost anything to be listed?
Basic listings are free. Featured placement and premium tools are paid options coming soon.
How do I fix an incorrect listing for my venue?
Claim your venue page, then edit directly — or contact us and we'll help.

We link fans to your existing ticketing. If you'd like to discuss direct ticketing, get in touch.
🎧 For Music Fans
Everything you need to find and follow live music in your city.
Finding shows tonight
Browse the calendar to see what's playing tonight, this weekend, or any date you choose. Filter by date, genre, neighborhood, or venue to zero in on exactly the kind of night you're looking for. Each listing includes the date, time, venue, lineup, and a link to buy tickets.
Finding shows near you
First, filter to the date range and options you're looking for, then click the Show Map button to see where events are, and which ones are closest to you.
Getting tickets
When tickets are available, you'll see a "Get Tickets" button on the event page that takes you directly to the seller (Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, the venue's box office, and others). We link you to the official source — we never resell or mark up tickets.
Never missing a show
Create a free account to save events to follow your favorite venues and artists. Sign up for the weekly newsletter to get the best upcoming shows in your inbox every week.
Is it free to use?
Yes — browsing listings, searching, and creating an account are completely free for fans, always.
Something looks wrong
Found a show with the wrong date, a canceled event still listed, or a missing lineup? Use the "Report an issue" link on any event page. We rely on the community to help keep listings accurate.
Common questions
How current are the listings?
We update continuously from venues, promoters, and ticketing partners. If a venue is missing, let us know.
Can I add an event I know about?
Fans can suggest events using the "Submit Event" form — our team reviews submissions before they go live.
