Booking Shows 101: A Crash Course

As an up and coming band, you're probably looking for new ways to grow your fanbase and earn some money.

One of the best ways to do this is by playing live shows – and not just a few shows, but lots of them!

The caveat is, it's important to spread them out and avoid saturating any single market by playing too many shows in the same city.

By playing in different cities, you'll have a chance to reach new audiences and grow your fanbase.

Booking shows can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be painful.

With the right mindset and approach, you can book more shows and grow your band's audience while having fun and bringing in revenue.

Join us now to learn how you can book shows that will help boost your band to the next level!

What you’ll learn:

  • How to book shows for your band
  • Choosing the right type of venue to book
  • How to find venues to play
  • Setting expectations for promoters
  • Researching venues to play
  • How to get booked more often
  • Following up with venues or show promoters
  • How your band can play more shows and get invited back!
