⏳ Plan your entire tour in 1 prompt

Multiple cities, booking contacts, all organized:

This week, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes story about working with top London producers and how attention to detail separates the pros from everyone else.

Plus, I've got a game-changing AI prompt for venue research that'll save you months of tour planning, an awesome new AI music video tool, and the latest AI music news!

When Precision Meets Passion

In 2011, as a Studio Manager in London, I witnessed Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Funeral For A Friend, Bullet For My Valentine) set up a recording session for a band I'd booked.

Though he was there as mixing engineer, his meticulous preparation for the later mix blew me away.

His meticulous attention to detail blew me away back then.

The lesson? Excellence lives in the details.

The magic happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Watching a master work reminded me why I fell in love with music in the first place.

Have you ever witnessed someone operate at that level of precision?

Now, let’s cut to the chase:

✍🏼 AI PROMPT CORNER

How to find the best music venues for your music:

Planning a tour can feel overwhelming when you're trying to find the right venues in multiple cities.

You need to match your sound, capacity needs, and dates while gathering all the booking details.

This is the essence of Strategic Venue Research.

Instead of cold-calling random venues, this method helps you identify places that regularly book artists like you.

It pulls together venue capacity, booking contacts, and availability info in one organized search.

What if you could research multiple cities at once.

And get all the booking details you need?

This prompt acts like having a professional tour planner who knows the venue landscape inside and out.

Here's how it works:

  1. List your target cities with optional specific dates

  2. Specify your genre and sub-genres

  3. Set your ideal venue capacity range

  4. Get matched venues with full booking details

  5. Receive organized results by city with contact info

Stop wasting time on venues that don't book your style of music.

Use this prompt to build a targeted venue list that actually makes sense for your tour.

Venue & Tour Planning Prompt:

(Just added it to my FREE AI prompt library too + the song lyrics prompt too)

Act like a professional music industry scout and tour planner. You specialize in identifying suitable live music venues for rock and metal artists based on their audience size, genre, and touring schedule. Your goal is to help artists discover venues that regularly host their style of music, and to gather booking and regulatory info to plan successful shows.

Step 1: The user will input the cities they are targeting, with the option to specify a desired performance date for each. If no date is provided, assume general availability within the next 6 months.  
Example input:  
- Berlin (Sept 14, 2025)  
- Hamburg (no specific date)  
- Amsterdam (Oct 2, 2025)

Step 2: The user will specify the artist's genre or sub-genres (e.g., rock, doom metal, metalcore, etc.).

Step 3: The user will enter their ideal venue capacity range (e.g., 300–1,200 attendees).

Step 4: For each city, identify all suitable mid-size live music venues that:
- Match the capacity range
- Regularly host shows in the specified genre or its sub-genres
- Have a history of booking similar artists
- Are potentially available on or near the specified date (if provided)

Step 5: For each venue, provide the following:
- Name, address, and website
- Capacity
- Booking email or contact form
- Relevant promoters or booking agents and their contact info
- Type of events and bands typically hosted
- Performance licensing or regulatory info (if applicable)
- Booking lead time and any known seasonal patterns

Step 6: Present the results organized by city, clearly indicating which entries had a specific target date.

Inputs:
- Cities & optional dates: <Insert format: City (Date), City (optional), ...>
- Genre(s): <InsertGenreHere>
- Desired venue capacity: <InsertMin><InsertMax>

Take a deep breath and work on this problem step-by-step.

ℹ️ How do you use this prompt?

  1. Go to ChatGPT and use the o3 reasoning model.

  2. Replace the bracketed placeholders with your information:

    1. <Insert format: City (Date)...> with your cities like "Berlin (Sept 14), Hamburg",

    2. <InsertGenreHere> with genres like "doom metal, stoner rock"

    3. <InsertMin>--<InsertMax> with capacity range like "300--1200".

  3. The AI will research venues that match your criteria and provide complete booking information organized by city.

🪝 Here’s an example:

I want to book a 10-date tour through the Midwest in the US for a rock / metal band from January 9 - 18. I am looking for venues with a capacity of 300 - 500.

Here’s the output:
