Tired of sifting through outdated venue contacts? We get it. That's why we're building Indie Venue HQ to be your go-to resource, and we believe in total transparency.

Right now, our database has a staggering 44,000+ venue records (and that's before we even fully integrate colleges, churches, Canada, and Mexico). We're meticulously working to make it the most accurate and up-to-date resource out there, sorting venues, festivals, and even colleges/schools for a super-targeted search experience that saves you time and helps you find the right gigs.

Here’s the deal: Keeping a database this huge perfectly current is a massive undertaking. While we pour our hearts into accuracy, the music world moves fast! That’s where you come in. If you spot any info that needs a refresh, there is a quick and convenient way to do that on each venue card. You'll be helping the entire indie community and you might just get rewarded for your sharp eyes!

Think of it as a community-driven tool. Your patience as we refine this massive resource means a better booking future for all of us. Dive in, find those venues, and let's build the best booking tool together!"
