WordPress-first no ticketing

A WordPress plugin for festival programs
Structured schedules,
not static pages.

If you organize a music festival, cultural event or multi-stage conference, you don’t need ticketing software. You need a clean way to manage performances and artists, and display the program by day and stage.

See MVP

• Performances CPT → structured by time
• Artists CPT → reusable across days
• Automatic daily schedule output

The problem is not publishing. It’s structure.

Most festival programs start in a spreadsheet. Then someone copies them into WordPress. Then something changes. And now the website is outdated.

Artists duplicated across multiple days.
No clean “by stage” grouping.
Static PDF schedules that can’t be filtered.
Manual sorting by time.

Why generic event plugins don’t fit

Most WordPress event plugins focus on: tickets, payments, check-ins, RSVPs.

But if your need is simply: manage performances + show the program clearly, they add complexity you don’t want.

Festival Program Manager (Lean MVP)

Version 1 focuses only on structured content and schedule display.

Performances CPT — Title, Artist relation, Day, Start/End time, Stage, Description, Image.
Artists CPT — Name, Bio, Photo, Socials, Genre, Optional Spotify/YouTube.
Automatic daily schedule — Shortcode: [festival_schedule day="friday"]
Filters — Filter by day, stage, and search artist (light AJAX).
Artist page — Bio + list of performances + “Add to my program” (localStorage).
