For fans

Finding a show

  • Events. The home page lists upcoming events first, soonest first, and then past events grouped by year.
  • The live map. The map shows artists and venues where they are. An artist's pin changes as they go live, take an intermission or finish, and shows the song they are playing. Filter by artist type, genre or your favourites, or show only artists who are live now, and search by name. Each artist also has a map of their own events, past, today and upcoming.
  • Artist pages. Each artist has a page with their events, songs and links, and a short link of the form /directory/<artist-name> that opens their current show.

Watching

Open an event to watch it live, from the room or from home.

  • Every angle at once. A performance can be broadcast from several devices. You see all of them, and you can tap any angle to make it the large one.
  • Follow the band's view. Set Follow angles selected by to Anyone, and your large view switches whenever a performer points the room at a different angle. Leave it on Nobody, the default, to choose for yourself.
  • One sound. You always hear the one device the performers chose as the audio source, and the screen says which one it is.

Requesting and tipping

  • Requests. Pick a song from the artist's catalog and add a dedication if you like. Requesting the same song again replaces your earlier request. When the artist plays it, your request is marked Played.
  • Tips. The artist's tip links (PayPal, Venmo and others) are one tap away.
  • Chat. Each event has a chat for everyone watching.

Designed, not yet available: voting on the song playing

While a song is playing, each fan can give it a thumbs up or down. A vote counts only for the song that is playing at that moment, and only until it ends. Each fan has one vote per song, a new vote replaces the old one, and pressing the same thumb again withdraws it.

Ordering at a venue

At a venue that uses Interactive Artists, you can order from its menu and call for service from your phone. See Venues.
