Group Meetups

Meet Up With Other Fans at Concerts & Festivals

The Group Meetups functionality on Concert Archives makes it easy to organize or join a meetup before the show, a quick hello between sets, or winding down post-encore.

Everything is linked directly to a specific concert, so details stay organized in one place. Anyone can create a meetup. You don't need to be an official organizer, just someone excited to connect with fellow fans.

How It Works

Find Your Concert

Search for the concert or festival you are attending.

Join or Create a Meetup

See if one already exists, or make your own in just a few clicks.

Stay Coordinated

Chat, share updates, & post photos in the meetup thread.

Attendees receive notifications for new comments, updates, and reminders before the meetup starts. No need for scattered group texts or digging through social threads to find the meeting spot.

What You Can Do

Create a meetup linked to any concert or festival.

Set a title, description, location, and time.

Describe how attendees can recognize you.

Let others RSVP as Going or Interested.

Share photos and updates directly on the meetup.

Receive notifications leading up to the meetup.

Because everything is linked to the concert page, you can easily find the details again later.

Tips for Hosting a Meetup

Some lessons learned from hosting our own meetups:

  • Pick a clear, easy to find meeting spot (like “to the left of the merch table”)
  • Choose a specific time window
  • Share the meetup link with friends or on social media ahead of time
  • Post a quick selfie in the meetup thread right before it starts so people know who to look for
  • Post a comment in the meetup thread once you arrive at the spot
  • For multiday festivals, it’s great to have a daily meetup at the same spot

Meetups tend to work best at multiday festivals or destination shows, where fans have more downtime and are in town for the full experience. Events with several attendees on Concert Archives also give you a stronger starting point. That said, even a small meetup at a regular weeknight concert can be really fun as well.

Sometimes external factors like long merch lines or weather can disrupt plans. A little flexibility goes a long way.

Tips for Attending a Meetup

  • Meet in public places
  • Avoid sharing personal contact details publicly
  • Use your best judgment and prioritize your own comfort and safety
  • Check the meetup thread for last minute updates or photos
  • It’s ok to just pop in and say hi, you don’t have to stay the whole time

Concerts are all about shared experiences. Meetups are a great way to meet likeminded people and connect with the community.
