Gig Guide Playlist
Listen to (almost) every artist listed in the gig guide this week:
Updated every Wednesday!
about the guide
This guide is as simple as we can practically get away with. We’ll include some occasional commentary (feel free to submit your own!) to help give you context on what can be a dizzyingly complex network of musicians, collectives, communities, and spaces, or just make sure you don’t miss out on catching your next favourite act.
Got a gig you think should be listed here? Send our friendly team of Gig Researchers an email!
Artists, managers, promoters, and venues:
Self-promo is fine — we love it when you let us know what you’ve got going on! But we won’t
publish your marketing/social copy verbatim or give you special consideration in the guide.
We generally don’t list cover/tribute bands or background-music sets at hospitality venues.
All listings are at our own discretion. We will also graciously refuse any offer of door
spots for shows where we can buy tickets.
Have your say!
The gig guide's getting an upgrade in 2025, and we want to hear from you!
Be part of our first-ever reader survey for an opportunity to share your thoughts and feedback.
