For artists: get fans to your listening party or show

You booked a room for the listening party. Two hundred fans said they'd come. On the night, sixty walk in, and the rest meant to but lost track of the evening. If you make music, LFG Alarm, a social alarm clock for iPhone, Android and lfg.gm in a browser, rings every fan who joined before doors open: one alarm made from your event page, one link to share. It works the same for a show, a release party, a meet-up or a livestream.

Also called: listening party reminder · get fans to show up · album release party · concert reminder for fans · event alarm for artists

Why fans miss the night

Saying yes takes one tap, weeks ahead. The ticket site's reminder email arrives with everything else that day. Your post about it reaches the fans the feed happens to show it to. By the evening, plenty of people who wanted to be there are at home, and they only find out when the clips go up.

An alarm is harder to miss. It rings out loud at the time you choose, on every phone that joined, and the button on it opens your event page or the map.

Make the alarm from your event page

  1. Copy your event's link. Luma, Partiful, Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, Posh and more: any page that publishes the event works.
  2. Paste it into LFG Alarm under Got a link? Rocco, the cat who does the watching in LFG Alarm, reads the event's name, start time, place and picture.
  3. Pick when it rings: at the start, or 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours before. For a room people travel to, 2 hours gives them time to get ready and go.
  4. Make it public, so any fan with the link can join, and copy the alarm's link. It looks like lfg.gm/a/<alarm-code>.

Put that link everywhere you post the event: your bio, the announcement, your fan chat. Each fan picks how loud for themselves: Horn on rings, Notify sends a quiet notification, Quiet saves it for later.

Put a Set an LFG alarm button on your site

If you have your own site or a link page, you can add a Set an LFG alarm button beside your ticket link, the way sites add Add to calendar. A fan who taps it lands in LFG Alarm on your event, already filled in, and picks how early it rings. No account or key is needed on your side: the button is a link to lfg.gm/add with your event page in it.

The badges come in black, white, violet and volt, as pictures for a site or an email. The links to copy are on the developers page.

Use the note for the night itself

Your Keeper's note is a message you pin on the alarm, the first thing fans read when they open it. Use it for what they need on the night:

  • "Doors at 8, set at 9. Side entrance on the alley."
  • "First 50 in get the white label."
  • "Bring headphones. We're playing the whole album front to back."

Going live instead

For a livestream, make the alarm on your channel instead. An alarm on your Twitch or YouTube channel rings fans the moment you go live, so it rings even if you start late. Use the same public link the same way.

Ask your AI to set it up

If you use an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT with the LFG Alarm connector, it can read your event page and hand you the link.

try this

Have your AI agent make it.

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or any AI agent that can add a connector, not into the LFG Alarm app. The setup steps come with it: get the LFG Alarm app, connect it to your agent once, and your agent makes the alarm in your account.

Make a public event alarm from my listening party page, [your event link], that rings two hours before it starts. Give me the link to post for my fans.

Already have the LFG Alarm app and connected it to your AI agent?

Why it works. It gives the event page, when to ring and who it's for, and asks for the link back, which is what you'll share. Connect LFG Alarm to your AI app first: see [AI agents](/agents).

questions people ask
Can I see how many fans are coming?

The alarm shows how many have joined. Joining takes a tap on purpose, so it's a fair count of who means it.

What if the time changes?

Change it on your event page. LFG Alarm reads the page again every day, and 24 hours and 3 hours before it starts, and the alarm moves with it, so every fan keeps the same lead. Everyone on it is told. If you cancel the event on its page, the alarm turns off and fans are told.

Do fans need a ticket to join the alarm?

No. The alarm only rings. Tickets and the guest list stay on your event page.

Can I use it for a release, not an event?

Yes, that's a drop alarm on your SoundCloud profile, which rings the moment the track is public. See ringing every fan when your track drops.
