Open Event Curation Platform

Overview

Nuncio is an open event curation platform that enables users to create and share unlimited lists of musical events without claiming artist, venue, or festival associations. Users can source events from the Knokr database, create their own events, or combine both—organizing concerts, festivals, and shows into custom lists by artist, location, or genre. Lists are shared via public URLs or embedded directly on websites.

Built as the aggregation layer for Knokr, Nuncio competes directly with established platforms like Bandsintown, Songkick, and Seated by removing restrictions on list creation and ownership verification.

Purpose

Data Aggregation for Knokr

Collect artist event data through user contributions, expanding the Knokr database with events that would otherwise remain undiscovered. User-created events immediately appear in Knokr search results, creating exposure for emerging and independent artists.

Open Curation System

Provide unrestricted list creation without artist verification, venue partnerships, or organizational claims. Users create unlimited event lists targeting any combination of artists, locations, or genres, then distribute through public pages or website embeds.

Competitive Differentiation

Unlike platforms requiring artist claims or venue partnerships (Bandsintown, Songkick, Seated), Nuncio operates as an open system. Users curate and remix events from any source—Knokr database, bulk imports, or manual creation—without ownership verification or approval workflows. This removes barriers to list creation while simultaneously feeding event data back into the Knokr platform.
