How to Submit Your Event to the Livewire Music Calendar

Submit your club/gig listings to be included in the Livewire Music Calendar, on the web or on the air* by emailing your listings in the following format to events@wwoz.org:

Venue — Month:

Day @ Time / Performer(s) / Genre / Description

@ Time / Second Act / Genre / Description

For example:

Madison Square Garden — August:

2 @ 6:00 / Rod Stewart / rock / A performance in the round

@ 9:00 / George Michael / pop / Benefit for WWOZ

3 @ 8:00 / Radiohead / alternative

4 @ 9:00 / Ministry / industrial / From Chicago

. . . and so on

* All shows submitted will be listed on the website, but because of time limitations, the on-air announcement may not include all submissions.


Here is a short list of things to keep in mind:

  • Events should be submitted at least one week ahead of time to be included in the on-air announcements.
  • Description can be about the artist or the event, and should be less than 100 words.
  • Flyer or photos submitted will be considered for inclusion in the website listing, but please keep attachments under 2 MB.
  • If you are an artist submitting a gig, please make sure it is not already on our music calendar.
  • When informing us about regular gigs, i.e. a gig that is performed on the same day every week, please do so once a month.
  • We have limited space on-air, but we get hundreds of listings each week. That means we have to be very selective about what we announce on the air. But that's why we have the "expanded" listing on the web site.

Thanks for your contribution!
