Status: This is an official style guideline.

Title

If the event has an official name, use it. Otherwise, a generic name should be used that makes it as easy as possible to identify the event.

For one-off concerts, the generic title should generally be of the style "Main Artist(s) at Venue". Use the artist and venue name as appropriate at the time (for example, as shown on the event poster). For concerts that are part of a tour, it is also acceptable to use "Tour Name: City" if that seems more appropriate to the way the events in that specific tour are advertised; either way, aim for consistency for the whole tour.

Venue

For events taking place in a venue complex with more than one venue inside them, link to the most specific venue if known, even if the event art only indicates the complex.

Only link to an area if the venue cannot be determined at all; do not link to both the venue and the area it is in.

Date

For events that happen on one day but are planned to finish after midnight, enter the following day as the end date.

OR

For events that happen on one day but where at least one artist is planned to start performing after midnight, enter the following day as the end date.

OR

For events that happen on one day, enter the same day as the end date, even if the event finishes after midnight.

Time

When available, use the official, advertised start time for the event as a whole (commonly "door time"). The start times for specific performers (including the first performer) should be listed as part of the performer relationships, like main performer.
