VenueDB

An open database of music venues, built by the community.

Pre-alpha. This is a brand new work in progress. Bugs exist. Very little has been tested. If you find something broken, let us know. Have an idea? We'd love to hear it.
Next up:
  • Venue calendar data — show availability from iCal feeds and event listings
  • Musician reviews — structured ratings by people who actually played the room

Why VenueDB?

Give a penny, take a penny. You share what you know about a venue — the capacity, the booking contact, how load-in works — and in return, you get all of that from every other venue in the database. One contribution helps thousands of people.

  • Open data. Use what others have shared. Share what you know. The more people contribute, the better it gets for everyone.
  • Honest reviews. Structured ratings by people who actually played the room. Pay, load-in, sound, hospitality — not Yelp stars.
  • Ownership transparency. Know if a venue is independent or corporate-owned before you commit.
  • Community maintained. Wiki-style edits with trust tiers. Your contributions are tracked, credited, and protected.
