(Skip straight to registration)
Ras Raqs is building a new kind of performance ecosystem — one where artists and venues can find each other quickly, clearly, and without the usual friction. We’re developing the world’s first truly algorithmic, AI‑powered artist–venue matching technology, designed to understand rhythm, timing, and creative fit. This launch year, registration is completely free for both artists and venues. Early adopters receive full access to the matching engine and will be permanently grandfathered in, even after new registrations move to a paid model next year.
Whether you’re a venue looking for reliable performers or an artist looking for more opportunities, joining now ensures you’re part of the foundation of a growing regional network designed to make booking easier, faster, and more transparent for everyone.
Why Venues Should Register
Venues that register now gain early access to the Ras Raqs Band Finder engine — a tool that helps you discover artists who match your space, your schedule, and your audience. As the network grows, your venue becomes part of a curated ecosystem where artists can find you based on genre, capacity, availability, and style. Early venue registrations are permanently grandfathered in, meaning you’ll never pay the future registration fee.
Registering now ensures your venue is visible, discoverable, and positioned at the front of the line as the system expands.
Why Artists Should Register
Artists who register during the launch year gain access to the Gig Finder engine — a matching system that connects you with venues that fit your genre, performance style, and technical needs. As more venues join, your profile becomes part of a growing searchable network designed to help you get booked more often and more easily.
Early artist registrations are permanently grandfathered in, guaranteeing you free access even after new artists begin paying a registration fee next year.
Why Early Adopters Benefit Most
This is the ground floor. As the Ras Raqs matching engine grows, the artists and venues who register now will:
- Be first in the system
- show in more search results reports
- gain advantage in matching priority
- Never pay the future registration fee
- Shape how the ecosystem evolves
You’re not just signing up — you’re becoming part of the foundation of a regional (eventually national/global) performance network built to support live music, dance, and cultural arts.
What Happens Next
Once you submit your registration:
- Your profile enters the Ras Raqs matching engine
- You’ll be included in upcoming venue/artist searches
- You’ll receive updates as new features roll out
- You’ll remain permanently grandfathered into the free registration tier
This is the best moment to join.
