Events, tours & writers camps

What it is

Events, tours, and writers camps are the three live-activity surfaces in Aden, covering everything that happens off the recording console.

• Events are individual shows, gigs, or performances. They carry a date, venue, set times, a ticket link, and an optional cover image. An event can belong to a team (the performing artist) or to an organisation (the promoter / management company that hosts the show).
• Tours group a run of events into a named series with its own dates and cover. Teams and organisations both manage tours; each tour can contain any number of individual events.
• Writers camps are organisation-hosted creative retreats where a label or management company gathers songwriters. Participants apply via a public signup link; the org accepts or declines them and, once the camp runs, pitches tracks for review.

Using it

Creating and managing events (team)

1. Go to Events in your team sidebar.
2. Click New event, fill in date, venue, start/end times, ticket URL, and optional cover image.
3. Save. The event appears on your public profile page at /@yourslug/events and on any tour it belongs to.
4. To mark a show as sold out or cancelled, edit the event and toggle the relevant flag. Sold-out events show a waitlist signup form publicly.

Grouping events into a tour

1. Open Tours in your team sidebar and click New tour.
2. Give the tour a name, optional date range, and cover image.
3. When creating or editing any event, pick this tour from the tour selector. Events in the same tour appear together on the tour's public page.

Inviting another artist to the lineup

On any event you own, open the Lineup panel and search for the other team by its @slug. Aden sends them a booking invite. If you are an admin of both teams the invite auto-confirms.

Signing up to a waitlist (fans)

When an event is marked as sold out its public page shows a waitlist form. Enter your name and email (and opt in to marketing if you like) to be notified if tickets become available. No account required.

Org-hosted events

Organisation admins create events at the org level — for shows the org promotes rather than performs. The same event fields apply; the lineup is built by inviting teams through the booking system.

Writers camps (organisations)

1. Open Camps in your org sidebar and click New camp.
2. Set dates, location, and a description.
3. Enable the public signup page. Share the signup link with writers.
4. Review applicants in the Participants panel and accept or decline each one. Accepted participants receive an invite email.
5. During the camp, participants pitch tracks; the org team votes to keep or pass on each pitch.
