List your shows and weekly nights

Once you've claimed your performer page, you post your calendar from Backstage.

One-off shows

Add a show with its date and time. Point it at a venue on Joinue and it goes over as a booking request the venue confirms. Give a free-text spot instead and it's posted right away.

If the venue already lists a show near that time, the form asks Is it one of these? and shows them. Pick yours and tap Join this show to claim it rather than posting a second copy, or choose None of these to post it as new.

Who answers depends on the venue. If somebody runs it on Joinue, they do. If nobody does and your page is verified, a show that's provably yours (you posted it, or its title names you) is confirmed on the spot. Otherwise the Joinue team reviews it.

Until it's answered, the show appears on your own page marked Awaiting venue. It doesn't count as your next show, and it stays off the map, home, and your followers' notifications until it's confirmed.

A show you posted stays yours to edit while it's waiting. Once the venue confirms it, it becomes the venue's date and your remaining lever is Can't make it. Changing which venue it's at isn't an edit either way: pull the date and propose the new one.

When a venue books you

It works the other way too. A venue putting you on a bill lands in Invites to answer in your Backstage, where you accept or decline. The two sides are named apart on purpose: Bookings to confirm is what a venue owes an answer on, Invites to answer is what you do. Neither side can answer its own ask.

Dates a venue put you on show as Booked. The venue runs those, and your lever there is Can't make it.

Calendar sync

Already keep your dates in a calendar? Connect it from Calendar sync on your Shows tab (or whatever your act calls it) instead of typing every date twice. Paste the calendar's link and tap Check calendar to preview the upcoming dates and what happens to each before you connect. Connecting doesn't announce the dates already there to your followers; dates you add later are announced.

• New dates post to your page, changes follow, and a date you delete is called off.
• A date at a venue that's on Joinue joins the venue's own listing rather than posting twice. One that can't be matched yet waits under Waiting on the venue and is tried again every night.
• Pause syncing, sync now, or disconnect from the calendar's row. Disconnecting keeps the dates it added; they just stop following the calendar.

Weekly nights

Pitch a standing night at a venue: pick the day, start time, and kind (live music, DJ, trivia, karaoke, and so on), and choose the venue. A weekly night runs at a venue, so they confirm it. Once they do, it runs as a Regular on both your page and theirs.

Bookings, your team, and Insights

• Booking requests people send you land in your page inbox, where you accept, decline, or work out the details in the thread.
• Invite co-managers (a manager, agent, or bandmates) to help run the page. They aren't shown publicly, and only you can add or remove them.
• Add your Members, the lineup shown on your page, and choose who can post to the feed.
• Insights tracks your views, visitors, followers, and booking requests over the last 7, 30, or 90 days.
