[![Billetto_main_L](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201a3fd096bf4970b-150wi "Billetto_main_L")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201a3fd096bf4970b-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

The following sites offer varying opportunities for promoting your shows. SpinGo focuses on events listings in the U.S. and includes music. Their distribution network makes them especially strong. Billetto is a European ticketing and "event discovery community." Though it would require using their ticketing services, including free/no fee ticketing, Billetto is taking an interesting approach to supporting events. And Upcoming is exactly that, a grassroots events site that is being revived through a Kickstarter campaign which won't be available till next year.

**SpinGo: Local Events Listings**

[SpinGo](https://www.spingo.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is a local events [calendar](http://www.spingo.com/calendar/near-me/all/today?ref=hypebot.com) that seems to be focused on medium to large cities in the U.S. It includes a variety of events with plenty of music.

SpinGo gets out the word beyond their site with a presence on a [large number of news and entertainment sites](https://www.spingo.com/partners?ref=hypebot.com) around the country.

Partners have been attracted to their human-filtered listings and SpinGo's success to date recently led to a [$2 million Series A round](http://venturebeat.com/2014/05/14/events-discovery-platform-spingo-raises-2m-exclusive/?ref=hypebot.com) of investment. So it sounds like they'll be around for awhile.

You can [add events](https://www.spingo.com/submit?ref=hypebot.com) for free and [paid promotions](https://www.spingo.com/why-promote?ref=hypebot.com) are available.

**Billetto: Beyond Ticketing to Building Community**

[Billetto](http://billetto.co.uk/en?ref=hypebot.com) bills itself as an "event discovery community" which provides not only [ticketing](http://billetto.co.uk/en/pages/prices?ref=hypebot.com) but a variety of features including merch sales, donations and event management tools.

Billetto also includes member profiles and social elements to build a community around events that lives beyond individual events. As the community grows, promotional opportunities will grow as well.

Currently Billetto is [available](http://thenextweb.com/apps/2014/05/13/european-eventbrite-rival-billetto-launches-ios-app-focused-live-event-discovery/?ref=hypebot.com) to "users in Denmark, the UK, Sweden and Norway, and the next countries for launch will be Germany and the Netherlands."

**Upcoming: A Collaborative Event Calendar Reborn**

[Upcoming.org](http://upcoming.org/?ref=hypebot.com) launched in 2003 as a "collaborative event calendar focused on interesting arts and tech events around the world." It was a listings calendar with a strong community base which led to it's acquisition by Yahoo.

Unfortunately Yahoo put it to bed but founder Andy Baio has gotten the go-ahead to take the domain and revive the site. He's getting things off the ground via an already [highly success Kickstarter campaign](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waxpancake/the-return-of-upcomingorg?ref=hypebot.com).

Baio hopes to relaunch in public beta by March 2015 but plenty can happen between now and then.

Nevertheless it's nice to see a once valued community-driven events listing service getting back in the game. Upcoming.org, whatever form it takes, should be a boon to DIY and indie acts.
