Every listing is checked. Here’s how.
Most event sites syndicate whatever the feeds say and never look back — which is how you end up
driving to a cancelled show. CityTrover works differently, and we’d rather show you the method
than ask you to take our word for it.
The rules we never break
Nothing is ever guessed. If we can’t confirm an act, a time, or an address,
the listing says so plainly — “Time TBA,” “Unconfirmed” — instead of showing invented details.
The venue is the source of truth. Every show is checked against the venue’s own
calendar, ticketer, or posted schedule. When an aggregator and a venue disagree, the venue wins.
When a band’s website and the venue disagree, the venue wins there too — band sites go stale.
Cancellations come down. Multiple times each week we re-check upcoming shows.
The classic trap — a show quietly vanishes from the venue’s calendar while resale sites keep selling
tickets — is exactly what we hunt. Confirmed cancellations are removed and blocklisted so they can’t sneak back in.
Hidden venues get real legwork. Neighborhood bars, fish camps, and tiki docks that only post
schedules as flyers or social posts get read by hand. That layer is why shows appear here that appear nowhere else.
What the badges mean
● ConfirmedA primary source — the venue’s calendar,
ticketer, or official schedule — confirms this act, at this venue, on this date.
UnconfirmedThe venue runs live music in this slot but hasn’t
published the act yet, or one detail couldn’t be verified. We show what we know and label the rest.
How often
A deep sweep runs every Thursday across all eight zones, and a pre-weekend re-check runs every Friday
focused on the next 72 hours. The date stamp on each event page tells you when the board was last refreshed.
Spot something wrong anyway? Every event page has the venue’s own link — and telling us makes the
board better for everyone: report a correction.
