Discover

Support slots are one of the easiest ways to discover artists while they’re still playing smaller rooms. Show up early, listen properly and save the names that stick with you.

Use playlists as a starting point rather than the destination. Explore radio shows, DJ mixes, artist recommendations and the labels behind records you already love.

Good venues develop their own identity. If you trust a room’s programming, its calendar can become one of the best places to find music you haven’t heard yet.

A simple discovery routine.

  • Save one support act after every concert you attend.
  • Listen to one unfamiliar radio show or mix every week.
  • Check the upcoming calendar of a venue you love.
  • Follow recommendations from artists you already trust.
  • Give an unfamiliar artist more than one song before deciding.
