Tag your artists
Manage your event
Navigate to event information
Select an appropriate event type and category e.g. festival and fair > music
Scroll down to discoverability
Under the artist section, search for the artist’s name. You can tag multiple artists.
Do not tag artists that are represented by tribute acts
Do not tag artists whose music is played at your event, but who are not physically present
Any user found violating these terms will have their approval denied and/or permanently revoked on their Humanitix account
Request your Humanitix account to be Bandinstown verified
Your account will need to be approved by the Humanitix support team for your event artist information to integrate with Bandsintown. You can still tag artists; however, without this approval, your events will not be featured via Bandsintown and their partners.
Click request approval to submit a request to the Humanitix support team. You'll be notified once this has been actioned, typically within the next business day.

Will I need to apply for approval for each event?

Does the artist require a Bandsintown account?
Yes, each artist requires a (free) Bandsintown Artist account. Within the account, the artist can connect various social media and streaming services for maximum reach.
