How to set up and manage recurring events
Recurring events are for shows that happen on a predictable schedule, such as weekly residencies, every-other-week jam nights, or monthly events. Set the first event once, then manage the whole series from your recurring events page.
When should an event be recurring?
Use it for a stable schedule
Choose recurrence when the same event repeats with the same basic details. The first date you enter becomes the starting point for the pattern.
Pick the pattern from the first date
Weekly and every-other-week events repeat on the weekday of the first date. Monthly options can repeat by the same weekday in the month or by the same calendar date.
Owner tools are required
Recurrence is available to admins, approved venue owners for their venue, and approved artist owners for linked artist pages.
It manages the series
Editing a recurring event updates the event series. Use a regular one-time event when only one date needs special details.
How to set up a recurring event
Sign in with the owner account
Use the account that owns the venue page or artist page for the recurring show. Admins can create recurring events for any venue or artist.
Owner access
If you have not claimed the venue or artist page yet, start with the claim guide in the FAQ / How To area.
Start a normal event submission
Open Submit Event, then enter the title, first date, start time, end time if you have one, cost, city, venue, artists, image, and notes.
The date field should be the first real occurrence, not a made up setup date.
Choose a venue or artist you own
Select the registered venue or linked artist page connected to your account. Once the site confirms that ownership, the Repeats field becomes available.
If the event uses only a typed venue name or an unlinked artist, recurrence will not be offered unless you are an admin.
Choose the repeat pattern
Use Weekly, Every other week, Monthly on weekday, or Monthly on same date. The pattern is built from the first event date.
Example: if the first date is the second Friday of the month, monthly by weekday repeats on the second Friday.
Set an expiration if the series has an end date
Use Expires on when the recurring event has a planned final date. Occurrences after that date will not appear on the calendar.
Leave this blank when the series should continue until you edit, pause, or cancel it. Existing recurring events keep repeating until an expiration is added.
Submit and review the live listing
Submit the event, then open the public event page and home page to make sure the title, venue, artists, time, cost, image, and notes read correctly.
Approved owners and admins can publish connected recurring events directly. Public submissions remain one-time events.
How to manage a recurring series
Open Recurring Events
After you have a recurring event, sign in and open Recurring Events from your user menu or this guide.
Edit
Use Edit when the title, first date, time, venue, artists, cost, image, notes, repeat pattern, or expiration should change for the series. To schedule a break, move the date to the next planned show; the series will restart from that future date.
Expire
Use Expires on for a planned final show date. Leave it blank for no expiration, or clear it later if the series should continue.
Pause or resume
Pause hides future occurrences while keeping the series saved. Resume turns the future schedule back on.
Cancel
Cancel marks the series cancelled. Use this when the recurring show is finished, not when you only need a temporary break.
Planning notes
I do not see the Repeats field.
Sign in, choose a registered venue or artist page that your account owns, and check again near the date and time fields.
One night has different details.
A recurring event shares the same main details across the series. For a special one-night change, create a separate event or edit the series only when the change should apply broadly.
Scheduled pauses
The date is the anchor for the recurring schedule. When a series should take a break and restart later, edit the date to the next planned show. Earlier occurrences before that date will stay off the calendar.
The series has a planned end date.
Set Expires on to the final date that should appear. The series can stay active for all dates up to that expiration, then it stops adding future occurrences.
The schedule should stop for now.
Use Pause for an immediate temporary break, or move the anchor date forward for a scheduled pause that restarts later. Use Cancel only when the recurring show should stop completely.
