How contributing works
What happens between sharing a karaoke night and seeing it show up for the next singer.
Use Add karaoke to submit a hosted show, private rooms, or self-serve karaoke. Use the new-host form when you only need to add a host. Sign in before submitting.
Review paths
A submission either applies immediately or enters the review queue:
- Auto-approval: eligible changes from claimed venue owners or managers, claimed hosts, and in-area guides can apply immediately within their area of responsibility. Eligible event confirmations and not-happening reports can also apply immediately.
- Guide review: new host proposals, most new venue proposals, merge requests, discovery or import submissions, locked-venue edits, and edits from people without a direct relationship enter the review queue. A guide can approve, request a follow-up, or reject the submission with a reason.
All applied changes remain in listing history.
Submission statuses
- Pending: waiting for review.
- Approved: applied to the live listing.
- Follow-up: open the guide's comment, add the requested information, and resubmit.
- Rejected: open the guide's comment for the reason. Submit a corrected proposal if the issue can be fixed.

Avoid duplicate listings
Search before adding a venue or host. If the form shows a matching venue or host, select it. One host can be linked to shows at several venues. Recurring karaoke nights stay attached to their venue and generate the dated events shown on the map.
Add public facts and sources
Add the venue, schedule, host, public links, and other facts you know. Do not add private contact details, private addresses, rumours, personal disputes, or promotional copy.
Source links and evidence are optional for human submissions. Add them when available so reviewers can check the karaoke details. See How to Give Good Evidence for source guidance and notes-field rules.
Attribution and location
Approved contributions show your username only when your profile is public. Private profiles receive an anonymous public contributor label. Guides, directory moderators, and admins can see the submitting account during review, but not its email address.
Nearby search uses the full coordinate for the current page and saves only a city-level location. Public pages do not show your exact location.
Use your contributions to check submitted changes and respond to follow-up requests.
