Private beta · Launching soon

Your next
favorite show,
before anyone
else knows.

Stage Buddy reads your listening history and scouts every stage in your city — from arena headliners to the 40‑cap bar gig on Tuesday. You just show up.

Why Stage Buddy

Built around
your taste. Nothing else.

01 — The taste engine

Connect Spotify.
We do the rest.

No "pick your 10 favorite artists" quiz. We read real listening data — who you actually replay at 2am — and match every announced show against it. You'll see a percent next to each gig, and you'll trust it.

02 — Local

Every stage. Every size.

Arenas, clubs, basements, that listening bar your friend won't stop posting about.

03 — Discovery

Front row, early.

The opener today is the headliner in 18 months. Stage Buddy flags artists you're statistically about to love — before they sell out Terminal 5.

Predicted for you● LIVE
Been Stellar+84%
Geordie Greep+71%
Horsegirl+62%
04 — Company

Going alone is optional.

Match with people whose libraries overlap yours. Split a Lyft, a plus‑one, or a whole weekend festival. Opt in only — we don't surface you unless you're looking.

How it works

Three steps.
Then show up.

01

Connect Spotify

Twenty seconds. We read your play history — artists, genres, replay counts. That's your taste profile. Nothing else is accessed, nothing is stored past what we need.

Takes · 20 sec
02

Set your city

We pull every announced show in a radius you choose — ticketed, RSVP, or door. The feed updates as new dates drop, so you're not refreshing three different promoter Instagrams.

Coverage · 40+ cities
03

Get your lineup

A feed of every gig ranked by match score. Save, share, buy in one tap, find a +1, set reminders before the pre‑sale drops. Miss nothing that mattered.

Updates · Daily

"I stopped hearing about shows a week after they happened.
That alone is worth it."

FAQ

Good questions.

Still unsure? Drop a line — we read everything.

Do I have to use Spotify?+

Spotify gives us the richest signal at launch, but Apple Music and Last.fm imports ship before v1. If you have no streaming history at all, a 6‑artist starter picker gets you 80% of the way there.

What data do you actually read?+

Top artists, top tracks, recently played, and followed artists. That's it. We don't read your playlists, your profile, or anything social. We don't sell data — ever.

How is this different from Bandsintown?+

Bandsintown tells you when an artist you already follow tours. Stage Buddy tells you about the 96%-match band you've never heard of playing a 300‑cap room on Thursday. Discovery first, reminders second.

Is the social / +1 matching creepy?+

Opt‑in only, per‑event. You toggle "open to a +1" for a specific show; matches only see each other after both tap. No profiles in the feed, no ambient surveillance.

When does it launch?+

Private beta rolling out to waitlist now, public launch coming soon. Earlier sign‑ups get earlier access and founding‑member perks.

Never miss
the one you'd
have loved.
