Hold dates and run residencies

Claim dates at your venue while you negotiate, rank your holds, and turn an agreed offer into a show.

Hold a date

A hold claims a date while you negotiate an offer. Holds are private: nothing reaches the artist until you share it.

  1. Open your venue and go to Holds.
  2. Choose New prospect and set the date.
  3. Pick the artist if they're on Aden, or put their name in the title.
  4. Set the hold rank: 1 gets first refusal, 2 is next in line.
  5. Log calls and emails, set a follow up date, link the promoter and draft outreach as you go.
  6. Once the offer is agreed, share it. The hold becomes a public show and the artist gets a booking invite.

Run a residency

  1. Open your organisation's tours and choose New tour.
  2. Set the residency to one of your venues. Every date in the run belongs to it.

Artists only see the shows they're booked on, not your organisation's tours.
