With dozens of performers across multiple stages, these festivals can be overwhelming \u2014 especially when you don\u2019t recognize many of the names in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal is to help festival-goers \u2014 especially first-timers \u2014 discover a few relevant festival artists by connecting them to musicians they already know and enjoy. Then, at the festival, the festival-goer will be familiar with some of the music and know who to check out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This idea was suggested to us by Dave Santucci from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mission2market.com\/\">Mission2Market<\/a> who was working on the <a href=\"https:\/\/focoma.org\/focomx\">FOCOMx<\/a> festival in Fort Collins, Colorado. Paul Gagliano hacked together a prototype that helped us explore whether this would be a useful local music fans. We realized that community music festivals are a great place to discover local artists and learn about the local music scene. As a result, we decide to implement artist festival recommendation as part of our main services alongside local artist and local event recommendation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We finished the build for this new feature in early July and are rolling it out for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grassrootsfest.org\/\">Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance<\/a> this week (July 17-20, 2025) in Trumansburg, NY. <strong>If you are headed to GrassRoots<\/strong>, you can try out our new artist recommendation feature here:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/localify.org\/onboard-festival?festivalId=b88c49d4-01ac-43c5-811b-8e77b3374de6\">https:\/\/localify.org\/onboard-festival?festivalId=b88c49d4-01ac-43c5-811b-8e77b3374de6<\/a><br><br>Give it a try and let us know what you think.
