Better Interface for capturing festival information
Loving the site and it's helping me get rid of my really long spreadsheet finally.
I go to lots of festivals and I feel like the interface works really well for single day concerts but not so well for festivals. Some feedback and issues listed below:
- It would be nice to state what day of the festival the band played, so Slipknot played on day 1 of the festival for example. Or if they played multiple times, then Day 1 and 2.
- it would be nice to be able to mark an event as a festival, which enables different features.
- under the search area you could search by festival and then see all the different years the festival happened
- It would be nice to list out the different stages and then add the bands to the correct stages. So if there are 6 stages, then add them and then you can update the running order better.
- it would be nice to mark if a performance was acoustic as sometimes there are special acoustic stages for bands where they don't normally play acoustic only
- separate the photos for the events into official photos (tour posters, band lineups etc.) from our personal photos of the event. Allow photographers to link their photos somehow to make it easier for them to promote.
- it would be nice to be able to mark a band as a headliner to help with sorting and filtering (see below)
- these changes are important when there are 100s of bands playing a festival. It becomes very difficult to find them in the "bands I saw" area. If you added these changes then you could do the following: -- filter the "bands I saw" area by day / stage -- sort the "bands I saw" area by name / day / stage -- for the sort consider the headline bands and always show them at the top -- marking headline bands would allow you to place them in a position of prominence somewhere on the page

I used my last vote on this idea because it’s just perfect. Well written, totally feasible and user-friendly. That way, you could also mark which day/set was cancelled instead of cancelling the whole thing (hello Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2023 and the 2 days and a half you cancelled 👀). This should be done even before the big clean up, because the longer you wait, the more duplicates/incorrect data you let the users create and have to cleanup after anyway… Everything Barry Carter wrote is gold ✨

Absolutely the ability to track which bands played which days, especially if it would increase the count of how many times you've seen the band because each day is technically an additional concert and should add to the number of times you've seen the band.
