The moment you confirm a gig, everything else kicks off. Here’s where your show goes.
Instantly
- Your artist page updates. The show appears on your page the second you confirm — anyone looking at it sees the new date without so much as a refresh.
- A calendar link is created. Every show gets an “Add to Calendar” link fans can tap to drop it straight into their phone.
With your permission
Some things are too important to automate blindly, so we text you first — and which prompts you get depends on your plan:
- WWOZ and OffBeat. You’ll get a text like “Want to send your Tipitina’s show (Fri Jun 12, 9pm) to the WWOZ Livewire? Reply YES or NO.” Reply YES and we get your listing in front of them, formatted the way they want, on time. We submit — they decide. A YES doesn’t guarantee it runs; WWOZ and OffBeat make their own editorial calls, same as they always have.
- Your fan list. If fans have signed up for your texts, you’ll get “Text 12 fans about Tipitina’s (Jun 12)? Reply YES to send.” Your fans only ever hear from you when you’ve said so.
Nothing goes to WWOZ, OffBeat, or your fans without your YES. We just make saying yes take two seconds.
If something needs a human
Once in a while a show needs a second look before it goes out — most often an unfamiliar venue. When that happens, we text you a quick question — which venue you meant — so answering it is what gets your show unstuck. It’s not purely something happening behind the scenes; check your phone if a show seems to be sitting.
