SLEEPER MARKETS · FOR PROMOTERS
Who should play your city?
For venues and promoters: artists whose audience Qloo ranks in the top 10% here, from 204 real touring artists. “Not played yet” = they didn’t stop here on their 2024–26 tours — a booking opportunity, not a guarantee.
Big touring artists only (those with Wikipedia tour pages). Display only: not a forecast of attendance or ticket sales.
How the lists are built
For each artist, Qloo’s taste data ranks our 103 cities; a city is a match when it is in that artist’s top 10% (the same “top N%” label the planner shows). “Not played yet” means the city is not in the artist’s Wikipedia tour table for 2024–26 (tables can miss shows, so check before you call). These are big touring artists only (artists with Wikipedia tour pages), not every act that could fill your room. Best taste first; at most 8 and 6 shown per list. Portland, OR and Portland, ME are left out because tour tables often just say “Portland”. Display only: not a forecast of attendance or sales, and it does not change the ranking or the agent’s picks.

Audience here, already plays here
Proven draw on their 2024–26 tours.
None: no tracked artist with a top 10% audience here played it in 2024–26.
“Tour-tested plan” opens the artist’s tour-tested top 8, which favors bigger cities. “Plan a tour with Burlington, VT” opens the same plan with Burlington, VT in place of the lowest-ranked pick (if it isn’t there already).
These two lists are big touring acts (the 204 tracked tours), not filtered by room size; the live Qloo list below is.
Live from Qloo: more artists with audience here
Live Qloo results for Burlington, VT (any artist, not only the 204 tracked); not checked against tour history, and Qloo’s order, not ours. Music acts only: comedians and spiritual speakers Qloo files as artists are left out.
Across 101 cities, 917 artist–city matches where the audience is top 10% but the artist didn’t play there (and 1,270 where they did), from 204 artists; 448 of those are in cities outside the 12 biggest and not within 60 miles of a big tour hub (near a hub, fans may travel to the hub’s shows). Descriptive and exploratory, not part of the pre-registered tests, and not a forecast of attendance or sales.
