Lydia: Local Music Scene

Lydia is the app for your local music scene. Fans, artists and venues, all in one place.

Something changes when they're all in the same app. A coffee shop that has never booked a band can host one this month. A guitarist who has only ever played in a bedroom can be on a bill by Friday. The drummer your band has been missing turns out to live three neighborhoods away. And the show you'd never have heard about is right there on your map.

FOR ARTISTS AND BANDS
Build a profile that's about your music — streaming and social links, genres, where you're based. Apply to venues directly instead of sending cold emails and hoping. Accept invites to bills and keep every upcoming gig in one place. Search artists near you by instrument, genre and location, connect with them, and start a band together with real admin controls over who's in it.

FOR VENUES
List your rooms and their capacities, post a night, and see who applies. Invite the artists and bands you already trust, build the bill, and confirm it — the show goes public the moment you do. You don't need booking experience or a promoter's contact list. If you have a room and a night, you can put music in it.

FOR FANS
See what's on tonight, this weekend or next month on a map of your city. Filter by genre, distance, all-ages or 21+, and whether the place does food. Follow the artists, bands and venues you care about and hear about shows as they're booked. Save the ones you're not going to miss.

Lydia is built one scene at a time. If yours isn't on the map yet, putting it there is the first thing you can do.
