Alternative venues are here, and we’re here for them.
If you’re in touch with the live entertainment scene, you know there’s a lot happening beyond the traditional clubs, concert halls, and independent venues. Artists are breaking free from the confines of mainstream venues, and we are absolutely here for it. Gobo was built from the ground up to help celebrate and support people hosting alternative events, from intimate house shows to underground warehouse gigs.
Artists are meeting audiences where they are.
One of the most exciting trends we’ve noticed is artists venturing out to find their audiences in unique and unexpected places. Imagine settling in for a pop-up performance in a cozy living room, or a secret show in an unassuming warehouse space. These alternative venues offer a more intimate and immersive experience, allowing fans to connect with artists on a whole new level. It’s a win-win situation: artists get to showcase their craft in unconventional settings, and fans get to enjoy a one-of-a-kind live performance.
Traditional barriers are coming down.
Gone are the days when the performing arts were confined to traditional stages and concert halls. Nowadays, it’s becoming increasingly common for musicians, comedians, and performers of all kinds to step outside the box and experiment with alternative venues. From rooftop bars and art galleries to community centers and even outdoor spaces, the possibilities are endless. These alternative venues not only provide a fresh and exciting backdrop for performances but also help to foster an enhanced sense of community and connection among fans and artists alike.
We help bring order to the unusual.
At Gobo, we’re committed to supporting independent artists and the fans who love them, wherever they may be. We understand that these types of shows come with their own unique challenges, particularly when it comes to ticket sales and event logistics. That’s why we’ve developed specialized features and functions to make nontraditional performances and spaces more manageable.
We know that the allure of alternative events often lies in their exclusivity and intimacy. That’s why our platform includes a feature that allows organizers to obscure the event’s address until after a ticket purchase has been made. This helps to maintain the secrecy and excitement surrounding these types of shows, while also ensuring that attendees are committed and serious about attending.
Join us in celebrating alternative events.
Whether you’re an artist looking to host your next show in a unique and unconventional space, or a fan eager to discover new entertainment experiences, we’ve got you covered. Join us in celebrating the vibrant and diverse world of alternative arts events, and let’s continue to support artists in their quest to meet audiences where they are.
Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you at a house show or warehouse gig sometime soon!
Cheers,
The Gobo Team 🎶 🎉
