Independent venues are the heart and soul of live music—where artist careers and music scenes are born.

In this spirit, we’re proud to partner with NIVA to launch and support Live Independent, a groundbreaking new certification program spotlighting independent venues on Bandsintown & beyond.

Certified Live Independent venues and promoters get exclusive benefits, like an official seal to display on-site and online, dedicated promotional placements on Bandsintown, and discounted Promoted Email campaigns, helping them boost awareness and attendance for any of your shows at certified independent venues.

Join us in recognizing and celebrating independent venues, promoters, and festivals. Visit liveindependent.com to learn more at discover certified live independent venues near you.
