How

How picks are made

Events come from each venue’s own website (schema.org event data, ticketing calendars, or events feeds). We scrape only the venues on our hand-maintained whitelist — a whitelist can’t recommend a dead venue the way a scraper can. Venues with no dated events this weekend are skipped; dates are as the venue published them, so check before you go.
