How to Install the Events Widget to Your Website

EVENTS WIDGET

Sync your events from Bandsintown straight to your website so your fans always know where you're performing next. The widget lists your events with all the necessary info plus ticket links. Even better: it improves your visibility on Google Search thanks to our support of Google rich cards which highlights your shows.

Get set up in just a few clicks, no coding involved: the widget automatically matches the color scheme on your website. If you prefer, you can customize it thanks to our numerous customization options: font, colors, dimensions, content. What are you waiting for?

HOW TO

Use the Events Widget code generator right below to generate your own code, then copy and paste it on your website. To generate your own code, follow these 3 simple steps:

  1. Type your artist name in the input field: the Events Widget preview will automatically load your artist's events, if any.

  2. Customize your Events Widget: choose colors and display options, and automatically preview the result. Scroll down this page for even more options.

  3. Click on Generate Code to show the code of your customized Events Widget, click on Copy Code and finally paste it on your website. Congratulations! Your website is now in sync with your events on Bandsintown.

NOTES

  • If you prefer to let the widget automatically match the color scheme of your website rather than use your predefined colors, remove all corresponding color options and replace data-auto-style="false" by data-auto-style="true".

  • By default, the Events Widget automatically displays in your visitor's preferred language, as defined in their browser settings, among English, French, Spanish, Portugese, Italian, German and Japanese. If your visitor has a different preferred language, the Events Widget defaults to English. If you want to remove language auto-detection, just add data-language="en" or any language abbreviation among fr, es, pt, it, de, ja.

NEED MORE CUSTOMIZATION?

You can customize the font, colors, dimensions, content of th Events Widget to your taste. Simply identify from the list below which option to use and add it within the code snippet of the Events Widget on your website before publishing it.

Examples:

  • to apply the Helvetica font, add: data-font="Helvetica"

  • to limit the number of events listed to 15, add: data-display-limit="15"

  • to force your Events Widget to display in English for all visitors, add: data-language="en"

  • to set the width of your Events Widget to 50% of your page width, add: data-widget-width="50%"
