About DIY Shows

Our Mission

DIY Shows is a crowdsourced booking platform that connects independent artists directly with DIY venues and spaces. We believe in cutting out the middlemen and empowering artists and venues to work together without the barriers of traditional booking agencies.

Our platform enables venues to find artists looking for shows in their area and place bids, while artists can request shows anywhere and have venues discover and bid on their tour requests.

How It Works

The DIY Ethos

We're inspired by the DIY (Do It Yourself) music community that has always thrived on direct connections, mutual support, and grassroots organizing. From house shows to community centers, from record stores to art spaces - these venues are the backbone of independent music.

Our platform celebrates and supports this ecosystem by making it easier for artists and venues to find each other, while keeping the spirit of community and direct collaboration that makes DIY culture special.

Community First

DIY Shows is built by and for the DIY music community. We're not here to extract value or impose corporate structures on independent music. Instead, we're creating tools that amplify what the community already does best: supporting each other.

Every venue listed, every artist profile, and every successful booking makes the network stronger for everyone. This is crowdsourced booking - the more people participate, the better it works for all of us.
