How to find events worth leaving the house for

Live events are back, and the best ones rarely make it to the big listing sites. Here is how to find them before they sell out.

Follow the hosts, not the venues

The most interesting nights come from small crews who host wherever fits: a rooftop, a gallery, a park. Bookmark the hosts you love and their next date finds you.

• Check the Just announced shelf weekly

• Save events to your bookmarks to compare later

• Book early: small rooms sell out quietly

Book with confidence

Every booking on WeOut is protected: payments sit in escrow until after the event runs, so a cancellation always means an automatic, full refund.
