Finding events: search, filters and sorting
You open the event list via Explore › Events. It is open to everyone, even without signing in, and shows the upcoming events – the next one first. Each card shows the flyer, name, date, venue and city, and whether the event is Official (put on by an organiser, a venue or a crew) or comes from the Community. Cancelled events are marked Cancelled, events with a booked advertising package carry the Premium mark. Tap a card to open the event page.
Search and filters sit above the list, the events below.
Searching
Type into the field Search events or locations... at the top. The list updates while you type. The cross in the field clears the search.
Filtering
On a computer the filters sit right below the search. On a phone you open them with Filters. At the bottom, the button tells you how many events match, for example Show 12 results; Reset clears every filter.
- When: Upcoming (how the list starts), This Weekend, This Month, All or Custom with Start and End.
- Category: for example Club / Party, Rave, Festival or Open Air.
- Genres, Country and City: you can pick several of each.
- Nearby (on a phone in the row Radius): search a place or choose Use my location, set the distance and tap Apply. Your location is used only approximately and only for this search.
- Kind: Official or Community.
When you are signed in, two switches join them: Only ones I follow shows only events from everything you follow, and Surroundings & regions only events in your saved surroundings and your regions (more under Following). Clear all filters takes everything out again.
On a phone the filters have a window of their own.
Sorting
Sort reorders the list. The usual order is Date: closest to today. You can also sort by name, distance, followers, views, visitors or by Newest. Nearest first only works once you have picked a place or your location under Nearby.
What else you see
- Featured: as long as no filter is on, a row at the top shows paid placements in changing order.
- Filtered by your favourite genres: if you picked favourite genres in your profile, the list starts with them. Show all lifts that.
- Gig entry: a gig an artist entered themselves that has no event page of its own. Go to artist takes you to their profile.
- Earlier events: if your period reaches into the past, for example with All, you can open the past events below the list.
- View on Map switches to the map.
Below the list you see how many events are shown. Show … more loads the next ones. Every event of a month as a calendar is in the calendar.
