Events and recurring karaoke nights

How weekly, biweekly, and monthly karaoke nights generate individual events, and what each status tells you.

KaraokeCrowd separates recurring karaoke nights from individual dated events.

Recurring karaoke nights

A recurring karaoke night stores a venue schedule such as every Tuesday, every other Friday, or the first Thursday of each month. It records the weekday, frequency, start time, and status. That schedule generates the individual events people see on the venue page, map, and search results.

Active and needs-check recurring nights generate future events automatically. An active night with fixed timing generates Scheduled dates. An active night with a variable schedule generates Check first dates. A needs-check night generates Needs check dates. These labels mean the date came from the stored schedule rather than a check for that specific event. See Confirmation statuses for the full status definitions and confirmation rules.

Irregular dates

Choose Irregular when dates are announced individually and do not follow a computable pattern. Irregular recurring nights do not generate events automatically.

A venue owner or manager, the host, an in-area guide, or a directory moderator can open Manage events and add one or several confirmed dates. This also works for unclaimed venues. If you know a date but cannot add it, open the karaoke night and select Suggest date.

Cancel one date, pause a run, or end the night

Use the action that matches the change:

  • One date is cancelled or incorrect: mark that dated event as not happening. The recurring night continues to generate other dates, and the cancelled date remains visible with its status.
  • Several known dates are cancelled: mark each affected dated event as not happening.
  • The show is temporarily on hold: pause the recurring night. It stops generating dates until it is active again.
  • The show ended permanently: mark the recurring night as ended. No future dates are generated; past events remain in its history.

If a date marked not happening is actually on, or an active recurring night has ended, open the event and select Report.

Change the schedule or venue

  • Day, time, or frequency changed: submit an edit to the recurring karaoke night. After the change applies, future events use the new schedule and past events keep their original dates. If a confirmed future event no longer fits the schedule, it is cancelled and people who RSVP'd are notified.
  • The show moved to another venue: end the recurring night at the old venue and add a new recurring night at the new venue so each venue keeps the correct history.

Eligible edits from venue owners, venue managers, hosts, and in-area guides can apply immediately. Other edits enter review.
