Frequently Asked Questions
What is StageEcho?
StageEcho is a free concert diary. You log the concerts you have attended, rate each one from 0.5 to 5 stars, and write reviews. Your profile becomes your live-music history, and everyone’s ratings combine into live-performance scores for artists, concerts, venues, and festivals.
Is StageEcho free?
Yes. StageEcho is completely free to use — creating an account, logging concerts, rating, and reviewing all cost nothing.
How do I log a concert I attended?
Create a free account, click "Add Concert", and search for the artist, venue, and date. If the concert is already on StageEcho you can mark yourself as having attended it and rate it; if not, you add it in the same flow — including the artist or venue if they are new to the site.
Can I log concerts from years ago?
Absolutely. A concert diary is only complete with your whole history, so you can log shows from any date — last night or thirty years ago.
Can I track which artists I’ve seen live?
Yes. Every concert you log is tied to its artists, so your profile shows every artist you have seen live, how often, and how you rated each show.
How are artist and concert ratings calculated?
A concert’s score is the average of all fan ratings for that show. An artist’s live rating aggregates the ratings across all of their logged concerts. Scores run from 0.5 to 5 stars and update automatically as new reviews come in.
Can I rate the opening acts too?
Yes. When you review a concert you can rate the openers separately from the headliner, so support acts build up their own live reputation.
What’s the difference between StageEcho and setlist.fm?
setlist.fm documents what was played — the setlists. StageEcho is the diary and rating layer: it captures whether the show was any good, what it was like to be there, and your personal history of attendance. Many people use both side by side.
What if my concert, artist, or venue isn’t on StageEcho yet?
You can add it yourself while logging the concert. New additions from the community go through a quick moderation check before they appear publicly, which keeps the database clean.
Can I read other people’s reviews?
Yes — reviews are public. Every concert page shows its most popular and latest fan reviews, and every artist page aggregates reviews across their shows, so you can see which artists truly deliver live before buying a ticket.
