Need more customization?

You can use our native Bandsintown Events Widget or the Bandsintown Events API.

STEP 1: CREATE YOUR CUSTOM WIDGET

Get set up easily in just a few clicks—no coding required. Use the default install settings to have the widget automatically match your website's color scheme, or dig deeper to customize fonts, colors, content, and more.

Please note that the Events Widget is compatible with all website builders that support HTML editing. This includes WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and more.

STEP 2: Copy your WIDGET CODE

Once you’ve finished customizing your widget, click on the button ‘Copy Code’.

important

Please note that our widget is supported on WordPress but not with every instance. This is because WordPress limits the cases where one can run their own code. So our widget will work fine on:

- The WordPress CMS (i.e. if you use an instance of WordPress hosted on your own servers)

- wordpress.com (the more basic, self-hosted version of WordPress) only under the Business or eCommerce plans

- It's crucial to uninstall our legacy WordPress plugin before using our Events widget. If you have the legacy widget installed, it may interfere with the functionality of our new widget. To ensure a smooth experience, kindly deactivate and delete the Bandsintown Wordpress plugin.

If you use wordpress.com with a Personal or Premium plan, our code will not be executed by WordPress. The alternative then is to use our legacy WordPress plugin (more info here) or to point to our new Smart Link.

STEP 3: PASTE YOUR WIDGET CODE ON wordpress

The following example is assuming you are using wordpress.com with a Business or eCommerce plan.

1. In your WordPress account, go to your All My Sites and select your website

2. Click on “Visit site”

3. Click on “Edit Site”

4. Identify the space where you want to insert your widget, then click on + (Add Block)

5. Select “Layout Grid”

6. Select “Three columns“

7. Click on “Change alignment”

8. Select “Full width”

9. Adjust the width of the columns to make the central column bigger than the other two

10. Select the middle column and add a new block

11. Select “Custom HTML”

12. Past your Widget Code in the HTML space

13. Click on “Preview” to see the widget

14. Once you are happy with the final result, you can click on Save

15. Your shows are now listed on your website and will sync in real-time with your Bandsintown account

STEP 1: Build the URL to use on your Follow Button

You could follow this template to create your URL

https://bandsintown.com/artist-subscribe/2619661?app_id={your_app_id}&affil_code={your_affiliation_code}&came_from=267&utm_source=public_api&utm_medium=api&utm_campaign=track

Copy the URL above and make sure to:

• replace 2619661 by your own Bandsintown artist ID

• replace {your_app_id} with a custom string composed of the prefix wordpress- followed by the artist name. For example wordpress-Justin-Bieber

• replace {your_affiliation_code} with the Affiliation Code you already use to call the Bandsintown API (or remove the affil_code parameter altogether if you don’t already have one)

Other Parameters you could add to the URL to customize colors, sizes and fonts:

• &bg-color=%231A1A1A

• &border-color=%23FFFFFF

• &cta-bg-color=%23FFFFFF

• &cta-border-color=%23FFFFFF

• &cta-border-radius=0px

STEP 2: Paste your URL on your Wordpress Button

3. Select the Button

4. Modify the text on the Button label, for example, “Follow“

5. Click on the button Link

Once you’ve finished customizing your Signup Form, click on the ‘Copy Code’ button, paste it on your website, and you’re all set! Your visitors can now easily subscribe to your Emails/SMS lists, follow you on Bandsintown, and begin receiving your event alerts & direct messages.
