The map shows events, artists, supporters, crews, venues and event series right where they are. Here is how to choose what it shows, filter it and jump to the matching page.

You open the map via Explore › Map. It is open to everyone, even without signing in, and shows the events first. Drag the map with your finger or mouse, zoom with two fingers, the mouse wheel or the buttons Zoom in and Zoom out. Show my location jumps to where you are once you allow location access in your browser.

The map panel on the left, the events on the right where they take place.

Choosing what the map shows

Everything else is in the panel Map, on the left on a computer and at the bottom on a phone. When it is closed you see a slim bar with the chosen kind and the number of your filters; tap it to open the panel. Under Show on the map you choose Events, Artists, Supporters, Crews, Venues or Event series. The arrow Close the map panel closes it again. The question mark next to Map opens this help.

Filtering

  • For Events: the search Search events or locations... and the same filters as in the event list – When, Category, Genres, Country, City, Radius and Kind, and when signed in also Only ones I follow and Surroundings & regions.
  • For every other kind: Search by name... and Genres (not for supporters). Artists and supporters add Type, such as DJ or Photographer.

Clear all filters takes every filter out. If you have favourite genres in your profile, the event map starts with them; Show all lifts that.

On a phone the map panel slides in from the bottom.

Points on the map

  • A circle with a number groups several points. Tap it to zoom in.
  • If several events share a venue, tapping the point opens a list of those events.
  • Tapping a single point opens the page behind it. On a phone you first see a short preview, for events with Go to event.
  • When gig entries are shown too – gigs an artist entered themselves – the Legend explains the colours of Event and Gig entry.

If an area has a great many matches, the map shows only part of them and tells you so. Zoom in or narrow the filters.

List and map

At the bottom of the panel, List view takes you to the list of the same kind. If you come here from the list of artists, supporters, crews, venues or event series via View on Map, the map shows Also filtered as in the list: with the filters it took over. Remove takes them out.
