How to Use Squarespace's Bandsintown Blocks

TL;DR: Key Points
  • Integrate Bandsintown blocks to showcase tours and events
  • Match the block's design with your Squarespace site's theme
  • Adjust text fonts and colours using the Site styles panel
  • Customisation has limits - text and button sizes are fixed
  • Edit Bandsintown content directly via the Bandsintown platform

What Bandsintown Blocks Do

Bandsintown blocks let music professionals display tour dates, festivals, and live stream events directly on their Squarespace website. Visitors can RSVP, buy tickets, and access live streams without leaving your site.

Setting Up Your Bandsintown Block

1. Access the Block Menu
Edit your page, click 'Add Block' or click an insert point, then select 'Bandsintown' from the list.
2. Configure Your Block
Click the pencil icon to open the block editor. Enter your Band Name exactly as it appears on your Bandsintown account. If that doesn't work, try your artist ID instead.
3. Choose Display Options
Select 'Upcoming' to show future events or 'Date Range' to display events within specific dates. If you're on Squarespace 7.0, click 'Apply' to save your settings.

Customising the Design

You can modify your Bandsintown block's appearance, but there are some restrictions.
Fonts and Colours
Use the Site styles panel to change text font and colour. Text sizes stay the same to keep the layout working properly.
Button Styling
Change button colours and shapes through the Site styles panel. Button and text sizes are fixed, though they'll adjust slightly when you pick different fonts.
Pixelhaze Tip: The customisation options are limited, but keeping your colours and fonts consistent will make the block look like it belongs on your site.

The Bottom Line

Focus on matching your existing colours and fonts rather than trying to completely redesign the block.
