Adding All Bandsintown Events to Your Website

Performing live is a big part of being a musician. Think about it - the screaming crowd, the booming bass, the spotlight shining on you.

Only issue? Actually making SURE your fans know when and where you are playing. That’s where we come in.

Over 4 Million Fans Get Alerts From Bandsintown Every Day

The passion that fans hold for live music is growing. In 2016, 36% of all fans’ "buy tickets" clicks went to developing artists. Now, in 2019, intent to buy tickets for shows for developing artists rose to 50%!* This staggering increase is largely due to the Bandsintown Events Widget. The Widget makes it easy for fans to find you and come to your shows.

What is The Events Widget?

The widget syncs your events from Bandsintown straight to your website so your fans always know where you're performing next. The widget lists your events with all the necessary info plus ticket links. Even better: it improves your visibility on Google search thanks to our support of Google rich cards which highlights your shows.
