London is always playing live music but it can be difficult to find the sounds you love in the right moment. YourSound learns your taste in music and venues and then picks the events that you'll love. Rank the sounds you love, tell us the rooms you go to, swipe through a few gigs. Your feed reshapes as you go. TUNED TO YOUR TASTE For you, tonight, tomorrow, this weekend. Every card is chosen for you, and it gets sharper each time you save one, skip one or tap a ticket link. Tune your sound whenever you like: yes, no, or not sure. EVERY SIZE OF NIGHT A big room at Alexandra Palace and a folk session in a Nunhead back bar sit in the same feed. Over 100 London venues, across pubs and breweries, listening bars, gig spaces, clubs, cathedrals and churches, boats, rooftops and railway arches. HEAR IT BEFORE YOU GO Audio previews sit on the cards, with a short bio on the artist. An unfamiliar name takes ten seconds to check instead of a trip to three other apps. FIND IT ON THE MAP Every venue, plotted. Filter by week, genre or type of room, and see what is on around you at every moment. YOUR SOUND PROFILE Discover your sound profile based on sounds you favourite and save and the rooms you go to. This can change the more you discover new sounds. MY LINEUP Create your ideal lineup with different sounds for every day of the week. YourSound is independent and built in London. We champion the grassroots, and we cover the big rooms too. We're just getting started and look forward to welcoming you on this journey with. Stay tuned.
