How It Works

MixinMEup works differently depending on how you're involved in live music. Here's how to get started — pick the path that fits you.

For Fans

1

Create a free account

Sign up with your email or connect via Google, Apple, Facebook, Spotify, or Discord. Your personal profile is created automatically — no extra setup needed.

2

Set your location and music tastes

Tell us where you're based and which genres you love. We'll tailor your discovery feed to the music happening around you.

3

Discover events near you

Browse upcoming shows, festivals, and open mics in your city or by distance. Filter by genre, date, or venue type to find exactly what you're looking for.

4

Follow artists, bands, and venues

Stay up to date on the profiles you love. When they announce a new show or post something new, it shows up in your feed.

5

RSVP, check in, and engage

Mark yourself as going or interested, check in at shows you attend, react and comment, and share events with your friends.

For Artists & Bands

1

Build your artist or band profile

After creating an account, add an Artist or Band profile. Fill in your bio, genre tags, instruments, photos, and links to your music. Each profile has its own public page.

2

Get discovered by venues and fans

Your profile appears in local search results, genre pages, and location-based discovery feeds. Fans can follow you; venues can reach out about upcoming bookings.

3

Create events or accept invitations

You can create your own shows and invite a venue, or receive an invitation from a venue or festival. Confirm your involvement and the event is promoted to your followers automatically.

4

Share your story and media

Post photos, publish setlists after a show, add playlists, and write or be featured in articles. Your profile becomes a living portfolio of your music journey.

5

Grow your audience

Build a following, collect endorsements, and appear in trending sections. The more active you are, the more visible you become to fans and venues looking for new talent.

For Venues & Festivals

1

Create your venue or festival profile

Set up your profile with your address, operating hours, capacity, amenities, and contact details. Fans and artists searching in your area will find you.

2

Create events and build your lineup

Create a show and invite artists, bands, or other performers directly from the platform. Each invited act confirms or declines — no chasing emails or phone calls.

3

Promote automatically

Confirmed events are promoted to fans in your area for up to three months. Any involved party — venue, artist, or band — can refresh the promotion window when needed.

4

Discover artists looking for gigs

Browse artist and band profiles in your area, filter by genre and availability, and reach out directly. Artists who are available for hire appear prominently in search results.

5

Build your community presence

Fans can follow your venue, RSVP to your shows, and leave reactions and comments. The more events you run, the stronger your profile becomes in the local music scene.

For Service Providers

1

Create a service provider profile

Set up a profile for your photography studio, sound production company, equipment rental service, or any other music industry business you operate.

2

Showcase your work

Upload photos, list past events you've worked, describe your specialties and service area, and let your portfolio speak for itself.

3

Get discovered

Artists, bands, and venues searching for support can find your profile through local search and category-based discovery. Put yourself in front of the right people.

4

Build your reputation

Receive endorsements from artists and venues you've worked with. Endorsements appear prominently on your profile and strengthen your credibility in the community.
