Connecting Artists with Venues

This spreadsheet is designed to help individuals find and reach out to music venues throughout Europe. It focuses on small to medium-sized venues that are ideal for artists looking to expand their fan base.

One of the key benefits of this spreadsheet is the time it saves you by eliminating the tedious and often frustrating search process. Standard Google searches typically highlight large venues that cater to established national and international acts, making it hard to find spots suited for independent, up-and-coming artists. I’ve already done the research for you, so all you have to do now is send your email requests!

What the Spreadsheet is
What the Spreadsheet is not

This spreadsheet does not guarantee that you will secure bookings. Successfully booking shows still depends on your musical talent and appeal.

Additionally, this spreadsheet helps streamline and organize the booking process, but the work is still in your hands. You’ll need to send the emails and follow up with the venues yourself—there’s no automation involved.

Finally, this is not an exhaustive list of EVERY live music venue in Europe. Some venues were excluded due to missing contact information, while others were left out because they rely on booking agencies that are harder to access. Additionally, a few venues may have been overlooked simply due to overpopulated searches. That being said, rest assured that this list of over 800 venues provides more than enough options for booking a successful tour at qualified locations.
