I'm in a band. How do I add a gig?
First, login and create your band page, in 'my bands/artists'.
Select 'Add a gig' from the EDIT menu. In the new gig form, type in the venue name and set the date and time. If the venue doesn't have a page on Lemonrock, it will be automatically created, and added to your list of venues, so that you can add information about the venue (address, contact details, photo, etc).
I run a venue. How do I add a gig?
First, login and create your venue page, in 'my venues'.
Select 'Add a gig' from the EDIT menu. In the new gig form, type in the band name and set the date and time. If the band doesn't have a page on Lemonrock, it will be automatically created, and added to your list of bands, so that you can add information about the band (type of music, contact details, photo, etc).
How do I add a repeating gig?
First, create your venue or band page. Select 'Add a gig' from the EDIT menu. You only need to type the gig information once, as Lemonrock has a powerful gig repeat feature.
When you create your gig, you set the 'Repeat Period' to weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, etc and specify an end date. Lemonrock then automatically works out all the dates when your gig will occur, and adds the dates to the gig listings.
You must update your repeating gigs every year.
Please note: To add a repeating gig, you must be a full member.
The band/artist for my gig is not on Lemonrock. What should I do?
Just type the band/artist name into your new gig, and Lemonrock will create it for you automatically.
The venue for my gig is not on Lemonrock. What should I do?
Just type the venue name into your new gig, and Lemonrock will create it for you automatically.
Why can I only create gigs for some bands/artists or at some venues?
When you join Lemonrock, you join either as a Band/Artist member, or as a Venue member. Each type of membership has different restrictions:As a Band/Artist Member:
- You can create a limited number of bands/artists ('your' bands and artists, which appear in 'my bands/artists')
- You can create gigs for your bands/artists at *any* venue
- When you create a gig, and the venue is not recognised, a new venue is created automatically. This appears in 'my venues' so that you can add extra information about the venue. There is no limit to the number of new venues that can be created.
- You cannot create gigs for bands/artists that are *not* yours
- You can create a limited number venues ('your' venues, which appear in 'my venues')
- You can create gigs for your venues for *any* artist or band
- When you create a gig, and the band/artist is not recognised, a new band/artist is created automatically. This appears in 'my bands/artists' so that you can add extra information about the band. There is no limit to the number of new bands that can be created.
- You cannot create gigs for venues that are *not* yours
I'm a band/artist member and I see venues in 'my venues'. Do I have to maintain these venue pages?
No. These pages are created when you add a new gig, and the venue is not already on Lemonrock.
If you create a gig for a new venue, you automatically get temporary ownership of the new venue page, so that you can add useful contact information. The new venue will appear in your 'my venues' list.
You are not required to maintain these pages, and can disown them at any time. These new pages may be adopted or edited by other Lemonrock members, and may disappear from your list at any time.

Who can edit my gigs?
In addition to the Lemonrock Editors, the venue and band involved in the gig may also edit that gig. Please ensure that you have agreed the date and time with the other party before adding your gig to Lemonrock.
What details can the other party change?
The other party can change any part of the gig information, including date, time, description, entry price, and so on. They may also delete the gig, or mark it as cancelled or sold out.
What if the other party accidentally deletes my gig?
In our experience, this is very rare. The editing flexibility on Lemonrock means that both parties to a gig - the band/artist and the venue - can update or correct a gig that they are both involved in promoting. If you do accidentally delete a gig, you can easily re-create it if necessary. If you add a gig and the other party subsequently deletes it, Lemonrock will inform you by email.
Could the other party change my gig by replacing my band or venue with a different band or venue?
This can happen, but a warning message is shown to confirm that the person really does want to change the main details of a gig. In practice, very few gigs are changed once they are added to Lemonrock. If a confirmed gig is cancelled, we ask you to mark the gig on Lemonrock as cancelled, instead of deleting the gig. This gives the public more information, and also enables you to show your cancelled date in our cancellations section if you are re-booking.
I have a Band/Artist membership. Can another band or venue edit my band page?
No. Only the band page owner, and the Lemonrock Editors, can do that.
I have a Venue membership. Can another venue or band edit my venue page?
No. Only the venue page owner, and the Lemonrock Editors, can do that.
