| 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.
- Moving Shadows: A Dark Solstice Celebration has an official name.
- Indochine à l’Ancienne Belgique is a concert using the "Artist at Venue" style (in French).
- Bon Jovi at Philips Arena is a concert using the "Artist at Venue" style (the venue name has since changed).
- reputation Stadium Tour: Seattle is a tour concert using the "Tour Name: City" style.
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.
- Ébano at Razzmatazz was held in Razzmatazz: Sala 2.
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.
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.
Festivals should be split up by day, and each day should be divided up by stage/venue. The main festival Event, as well as individual days, should be linked to the master location for the festival, with all festival stages linked to the master location. Example: Summerfest 2015 and Summerfest 2015, Day 1 were held at Henry W. Maier Festival Park, while Summerfest 2015, Day 1: Miller Lite Oasis was held at Miller Lite Oasis.
The proper name format is "XYZ Festival", "XYZ Festival, Day 1" and "XYZ Festival, Day 1: ABC Stage." Artist appearances should be added on the stage level, with their set times listed in the "time" box. If a guest appears during an artist's set, that guest should share the same set time as the main artist.
If stage information is not available or if there was only one stage at a particular festival, add all artist appearances on the day level.
For fairs or other multi-day non-music-centered events with concerts as entertainment, add each performance as a concert and link it to a master Event. These events do not have to be split up by day if there is only one performance per stage/venue per day. Example: KISS at Illinois State Fair is linked to Illinois State Fair 2016.
For all types of Events, setlists should be added in descending sequential order, starting with the artist who performed first. Guest appearances should be listed in the setlist at the moment they appeared during the show.
