livemusic.fm is a new online community for live music fanatics all over the UK. Once you've set up a punter profile, you'll be able to create a calendar of the best live gigs in your area and, if you're sufficiently blown away (or even let down) then post a review.
You'll also be able to tell livemusic.fm about any upcoming gigs we haven't heard about, or write a review of one we missed. We're always looking for regular contributors too, so if you want to become one of our lmfm reviewers then let us know by emailing us at the bottom of this page.
- Livemusic.fm is a new online community for live music fanatics all over the UK. Once you’ve set up a punter profile, you’ll be able to create a calendar of the best live gigs in your area and, if you’re blown away (or even let down) then post a review.
- We pride ourselves on providing the best live music listing in the country and, of course, you can not only buy a ticket but we’ll give you a choice from who you buy it from so you get the best price or ticket available!
- You’ll also be able to tell livemusic.fm about any upcoming gigs we haven’t listed for, or write a review of one we missed.
- If you want to take advantage of all of the amazing functionality that will make running your live music life easier than you could possibly imagine then sign up!
- Once you’ve landed on the be all and end all of live music sites you’ll need to create your own profile so that you can take full advantage of all the amazingly useful things LMFM has to offer.
- Setting up your livemusic.fm account is easy. All we need is your name, an email address, your home town, and a few details about what kind of music floats your boat. Simply hit Sign Up and follow the step-by-step instructions.
- You can then upload a mugshot of yourself, and any great live pics you have. You can also choose whether you want to allow other like-minded punters to contact you. Stalkers need not apply or we’ll delete your dirty mac-wearing profile…or worse we’ll send Lemmy round to pay you a visit!
- As soon as you have checked out the Gigs tab you can then use the filter to choose your Backyard, type in the Artists, search via Venues or select the Genre.
- As soon as you’ve signed up all you need to do is find the gig that you fancy checking out then click the Add to my Calendar link and that gig will be added to your 'Gigs in My Calendar'. These are always shown as days highlighted in blue on 'My Calendar' and a full list of all your gigs can be found under 'Gigs in My Calendar' (within the Gigs section) or on your profile page.
- The Calendar enables you to not only keep track of all of you upcoming gigs but also keeps all the gigs you have rocked up to so if you fancy yourself as a bit of a music journo then writing a review is one click away!
- Once you’ve registered and logged in to your profile you can invite your mates. Just click ‘My Mates’ tab in your profile and follow the link to ‘Invite your friends to join Livemusic.fm”- you can then either invite individual email addresses or scrape your entire address book from GMail, Yahoo!, Lycros, AOL, Hotmail and many more!
- You can track how many people have accepted by clicking on ‘Pending Requests’ at any time – and LMFM will let you know if they’ve already signed up! Once they’ve accepted and signed up they will automatically be added to your ‘My Mates’ list.
- To add friends already on LMFM just go to their user profile page and click the ‘Add X to My Mates’ button on their profile – they then get the chance to accept or reject you (just in case you’re a weird web stalker or they owe you money) – and hey presto, you have mates!
- Buying a ticket couldn’t be simpler. Once you’ve found the perfect gig for you just click on the gig from the listings and you’ll find the link to buy tickets.
- We try and list as many options as possible for each event so you can choose not only who you buy your ticket from but also how much you spend!
- To read a review all you need to do is click on Reviews tab, select the review from the summarized list, click to open and read away. You can also use the filter to narrow your search and choose the location, artist a-z and venue as well as a few others. If you liked what you read you can add it to your favorites or share it with a friend.
- If you can’t find a review of a gig you rocked up to then you can always write it yourself. Please see Writing a Review below.
- Blown away by a great gig and want to tell the world about it? All you need to do is find your gig the archived gig listings, click on Add a Review of this Gig and get writing. You can also add a pic and a video if you had the presence of mind to capture it.
- If you can’t find the gig in the archived gig listings then you’ll have to add it using the Add a Gig form found in the Gigs section.
- If you fancy yourself as a bit of a music critic (lets face it, we all do!) then you can regularly write for us, simply get in touch via our Contact Us section or directly at info@livemusic.fm and we’ll take it from there.
- We have literally thousands of artists just waiting to be checked out, which we are constantly adding too.
- We break these down to Featured Artists (artists we personally recommend), LMFM Favs (a collection of our favourite artists) and All.
- If you think that you know an artist that should on our Featured list then let us know at info@livemusic.fm
- We try and list for as many venues as possible, whether it’s your local sing-a-long battle cruiser or The O2, you’ll find them all here on LMFM.
- And if we don't list the venue you're after then you can add it yourself via the Add a Gig tab in the Gigs section.
- We list far more gigs than you could possibly ever hope for and they are updated every singly day!
- Your Backyard is the location that you consider to be your base. All info you search for will use your backyard first and then others. Its easy to change your backyard within your Profile, just click Edit.
- Don’t forget though, you don’t need to change your Backyard if you just want to check out some gigs in another town, just scroll through the Backyard options in the filter for a temporary search.
- If you want to let people know about an upcoming gig just hit Add a Gig in the Gigs section and fill in the form, it’s a piece of cake!
- The form is pretty self explanatory just remember that for every gig added you must create an artist and venue page within the form as well (if they don't already exist).
- If you think that LMFM are going to want to check it out and possibly recommend it then let us know and you might get lucky!
- OK so hopefully we don’t really need to explain the logic and practicality behind having a Search. What we will tell you is that there are a few tabs at the top of the search results just to make it a bit easier to find exactly what you’re after.
