A live event is a gig you're playing that you want people to know about — a club night, a festival slot, a party. It appears on your profile and in DJfindr's Live Events discovery.
This is separate from bookings. A booking is a client hiring you privately. A live event is something people turn up to.
Creating one
- Go to Content → Live Events.
- Select Create Live Event.
- Fill in the details.
- Save it as a draft, or publish it.
What you'll fill in
Title — what the night is called.
Description — what to expect. Who else is playing, what the room is like, anything people need to know before turning up.
Start and end date and time, plus the timezone.
Location — the venue address, and a place name if the venue is known by one.
Cover image and flyer image — the cover is what shows on cards and in discovery; the flyer is the full artwork.
Genres — what you'll be playing.
Organizer — who's putting it on, if it isn't you.
Entry restriction — see Tickets, Pricing, and Entry Restrictions.
Visibility — public or unlisted. See Public vs Unlisted Live Events.
Tickets — whether it's ticketed, the price, and where to buy.
Why bother
Your profile shows what you can do. Live events show what you're actually doing. A client comparing two DJs will read an upcoming events list as evidence you're working — which is the thing they're really trying to establish.
They also give you somewhere to point people. A link to a proper event page beats a story that disappears in 24 hours.
Managing them
Content → Live Events lists everything you've created. There's a Search live events box, plus Sort, Status, and Visibility filters. Each event shows when it was Last modified, with actions to edit, share, archive, or cancel.
Empty list shows No live events found.
Showing them on your profile
There's a Display on profile switch at the top of the page. On, and an Events tab appears on your public profile. Off, and the section is hidden without deleting anything.
If you've got nothing coming up, visitors see No live events coming up, yet! — worth switching off until you have something.
Before you publish
Check the date, time, and timezone, and that the venue address resolves to the right place. You can preview the page before it goes public — see Previewing and Sharing a Live Event.
