A website for your festival that opens on the street and ends on the stage
A festival sells a feeling before it sells a ticket: the queue outside, the first beat through the wall, the lights going up. A page with a poster and a buy button skips straight to the end.
Evento keeps that order. It opens outside the venue at night, with your festival’s name in neon and your music muffled behind the walls. The doors open, the hall fills, and at night the house lights go out, the beams move on the beat and confetti comes down. Then the tickets, each sent to wherever you sell it.
What your site shows
Outside
A queue at the door, wet tarmac mirroring the sign, and your track heard muffled, as if through brick, until the doors open.
The line-up on the wall
Each act you add fills the LED wall in pixels, one after another, with their name set large beside them.
The night
The closing moment turns the house lights off: moving heads and beams cut to your track’s beat, a column of smoke every few bars, confetti over the front rows, the crowd on its feet with phones up.
Your sound
Your MP3 loops softly by day and opens up to the full band at night, heard from the stage. Without one, the page stays silent and the lights keep a steady tempo of their own.
Tickets, then next year
Up to four kinds of ticket, each with its price and a link to your ticket seller; once the dates have passed, they make way for a sign-up for the next edition.
Have this ready
- The festival’s name and its dates, first day and last.
- The venue, its address and the practical lines: doors, cloakroom, access.
- The acts, each with a portrait and a word on what they do.
- The moments that matter most, with the closing set as the music.
- Your kinds of ticket, their prices and their links.
- An MP3 you have the right to play on a website.
Worth knowing
Pick the headline moments
The agenda takes twelve moments at most. For a weekend, keep the ones that sell it — the opening, the headliners, the closing — and put the day in the line under each.
Mind the music’s rights
A track playing on your website is a public use of it. Use your own music, an artist’s with their written permission, or a library track whose licence covers websites.
Give the tempo
Enter the track’s BPM in the wizard and the beams, the smoke and the confetti land on its beat. Left empty, they keep 120.
Questions
- Does it sell the tickets?
- No. Each kind of ticket opens the page where you already sell it — Eventbrite, Entradium, Ticketmaster, Dice or your own shop. The site never takes payments or keeps buyers’ details.
- Can it show the whole line-up?
- Up to twelve acts in the speakers’ list and twelve moments in the agenda. A bigger line-up needs a selection: the names you’d put at the top of the poster.
- Does the music start by itself?
- Browsers don’t allow sound before the visitor does something, so it starts with the first click, tap or key, and it’s on by default from then. The visitor can turn it off, and the page remembers.
- Does it work on phones?
- Yes, framed for a tall screen, with fewer people and confetti so it stays smooth. On a device without WebGL, or set to reduce motion, the street turns into a drawn poster and the rest reads as a page. It’s €500, paid once.
