Filling Out Venue Details Effectively

Filling Out Venue Details Effectively

Important Formatting Rule: One Detail Per Line

To keep things easy to read for artists, enter each detail on its own line (press Enter/Return after each item).
This helps artists quickly scan the information on their invite and confirmation.


Venue Description

Purpose: Give artists a sense of what makes your venue unique. This section helps performers visualize the atmosphere and understand if their style fits your space.

What to include:

  • Vibe / overall feel

  • Capacity (approx.)

  • Audience type (families, locals, tourists, etc.)

  • Musical focus (genres, volume level, performance style)

Example (each detail on its own line):
A neighborhood favorite with a cozy stage and great acoustics.
Capacity: ~80 guests.
Best for acoustic sets, indie, and singer-songwriter performances.
Crowd: locals and regulars who come to listen.


Venue Details for Artists

Purpose: Use this section to set expectations and make artists feel at ease. Include key logistical and hospitality details.

What to include:

  • Main point of contact (name + where to find them)

  • Load-in instructions and start time

  • Parking info

  • Hospitality perks (drink tickets, food, etc.)

  • Merch table availability or process

  • Tip jar policy (allowed/encouraged/not allowed)

Example (each detail on its own line):
Check in with Jamie at the bar when you arrive.
Load-in begins at 6:00 PM.
Free parking behind the building (enter from Pine St.).
Each performer receives two drink tickets.
Merch tables are encouraged—ask staff for placement.
Tip jars are allowed.


Venue-Specific Terms & Conditions

Purpose: Spell out your venue’s policies to maintain consistency and professionalism. Artists see these terms before confirming a booking, so transparency here prevents confusion later.

What to include:

  • Sound check deadline

  • Volume expectations and who controls sound

  • Set length / break expectations

  • Load-in / load-out rules

  • Age restrictions

  • Content guidelines (if any)

Example (each detail on its own line):

Please keep stage volume moderate.
Follow the house engineer’s direction at all times.
All performers must be 21+.

Include items like:

  • PA/mixer availability

  • Monitors

  • Mics / stands

  • Lighting

  • Power availability

  • Sound tech availability

  • What artists must bring
