About Band in Tour
Band in Tour is an independent platform for live music: a real-time map where artists post their gigs, venues list their events, and anyone can discover what is happening tonight. Not a ticket platform. Not a streaming service. A working tool for people who make music happen.
Why We Built It
Finding live music online is surprisingly hard. Events are scattered across social media, ticketing platforms and local event sites, each with its own algorithm deciding what you see. Most independent gigs never get found at all.
Band in Tour puts everything in one place, on a map. No algorithm deciding what is relevant. No editorial team choosing who gets visibility. Just music, dates and locations, ranked by real activity and genuine community interest.
Who It Is For
- Bands and artists that tour: post your dates, get discovered by venues and fans in cities you have not played yet
- Independent venues: list your calendar, show your availability for bookings, attract local artists
- Grassroots promoters: build your event portfolio and connect directly with artists
- Music fans: no account needed. Open the map and see what is on tonight
Our Principles
- Democratic ranking: every event is scored by a transparent formula based on real activity, not editorial preference or ad spend. See how it works.
- Privacy first: we collect the minimum data needed. No data selling. See our Privacy Policy
- Free to use: the core platform is free. Membership exists to keep the lights on and unlock professional tools, not to lock you out of basic functionality
- Built in public: we share our progress openly and welcome feedback from the community
The Live Music Club
At the heart of Band in Tour is the Live Music Club, the search and discovery layer that lets registered users go beyond the map. Filter artists, venues and promoters by city, genre, radius and availability. As a Member the Live Music Club becomes the Live Music Club Agenda: publish your available dates and let venues and promoters find you when they need to fill a slot. That is where real collaborations start.
Current Status
Band in Tour is currently in private beta. We are testing with a selected group of artists, venues and promoters before a wider public launch. Everything you see is real and functional. We are refining based on early feedback.
Get Involved
We are always looking for beta testers, especially in cities outside Italy. If you are a band, venue or promoter and want early access, write to us at hello@bandintour.com.
