Include Promoter Profiles
Promoters are a key part of the live music ecosystem, but they’re largely missing from ROSTR.
Add a "Similar Artists" feature
Add a Venue Directory
Add a People Directory
ROSTR has directories for Artists, Companies, Tours, Festivals, and Signings — but not for People. A dedicated People Directory would let you browse and filter industry contacts (managers, agents, etc.) the same way you do with artists and companies.
Loved the directory's older, more intuitive layout.
I primarily use the directory for lead gen and it feels like the new layout adds unnecessary extra steps just to get to the information I need (ie before I can see all the important artist information in one page —such as team contacts, latest release, etc, + easier to copy-paste information too). Love the new filters you added and all but simplicity/ease of use is for more important to me as a user. Besides, it’s not even working for me right now… Hope your support team can get back to me on chat/email ASAP.
Artist Discovery
Starting to figure out how to navigate this new Rostr version and I truly appreciate the robust amount of information you are providing. Would love it if you had promoter and venue info (and ticket sales history!), so I could potentially cancel a sub with a competitive directory! What I do miss from the previous layout was the Artist discovery aspect to it. If I were to search Caamp as an example, you listed similar acts like Mt. Joy, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, Lumineers, THATH, Lord Huron, Rainbow Kitten, etc. For less established acts that I was unfamiliar with, this “sounds like” feature was a nice way to discover Artists. Thanks for continuing to evolve this site and providing the opportunity to provide feedback.
Release an Android app
adding this popular customer request here. please vote it up if this is of interest to you.
Include "Known Legal" info on Artist Profiles
It would be helpful to see known legal representation on artist profiles — entertainment lawyers and law firms that represent them.
Add Comedian Profiles
Comedy is a huge part of the live sector as well. Would be extremely helpful to have their profiles included in the Rostr database.
Team Accounts / Personal Rosters
I'm wondering if there are plans to introduce a feature that would allow lists to be shared amongst profiles under a team subscription? For example, I added an artist to a new list and I would like my team members to be able to view that list and see that the artist is already with our company.

Bring back the Friday news roundup
Navigating through the news on the site is much too cumbersome.
Would be amazing if there was a "recent news" tab on artist and agent profiles.
Would be very helpful, and great insight to know if someone was recently signed to a label or agency or is getting any kind of media coverage. Their relevancy essentially goes up during that period and can make the difference between someone who can sell tickets or not, fresh support from labels, agency, and media can often mean an artist is about to blow up, although streaming and social media may not reflect.
Allow search by top cities for Spotify listenership
Would be so productive if I could search for artists that have my city in their top 50 cities. Could allow me to discover new and relevant artists that are locally relevant.
Regional Company Directory List
Would be great to break down the companies regional offices and who is in what offices?
In Progress

How can we aggregate data for latin artists? 90% of indie latin are missing from the platform all together. yet they're coming to the US and selling tickets and booking tours.
Tour Filters Broken
Trying to filter by tours that start after October and unable to get it to properly sort and realized that most of the other controls are broken too…
Tours Multiple Pages
Unable to navigate between pages when filtering on the Tours section.

Shareable Lists
Lists are currently private to whoever created them, which limits their value as a working tool. Adding the ability to share a list, either privately by link or publicly so others can find it, would let users keep teams, partners and clients in sync as a list evolves rather than re-sending screenshots or spreadsheets every time something changes. Followers of a shared list would stay updated automatically as artists, people or companies get added or removed, and a Discover view would surface lists worth following from across the platform.
