Stage guide

Stage pages — festivals, venues & associations

Find where to go. Festivals and houses — venues, clubs, bars, restaurants — with living bluegrass. Why come, how to get there.

Fans find a Saturday night. Artists find rooms. Houses and fests list here. Scene orgs and pickers live under associations, not this door.

Your Stage workflow

Pages and Stage Hub directory are live. Follower email and picker lists are marked Coming soon.

    Rare big-news email to people who follow your Stage — planned; no state-wide spam.

What you get

For festival organizers, venue bookers, and association leaders who want a permanent presence in the living bluegrass scene — not just a one-off Facebook event.

One Stage home for three kinds

Festivals, venues, and associations share Stage Hub — clear type badge, different tools later (booking only for hiring stages).

Associations = scene discovery

Free public page for state/regional orgs. Website + region matter. Pickers plug in under ass later — not a social feed.

Follow-ready from day one

Once published, anyone with a free fan account can follow for updates you post on the platform.

Draft until you’re ready

Edit privately, preview your page, then flip publish when copy and cover are final.

Team without shared logins

Invite staff or publicists under Team access — they help edit, you keep owner control.

Tips once you're in

  • Stage type — set Festival, Venue / club, or Association in Edit profile. Associations hide tickets and require a website to publish.
  • Draft first — polish name, location, and about before you turn on publish; only you see the draft URL until then.
  • Public URL — your page lives at /festivals/your-slug once published and shows on Stage Hub.
  • Follow button — fans need a free account to follow; share your page link so they can stay on your update list.
  • Not a fan or label account — pick Stage at join so you get the right editor and team tools.
