  • Only one person is allowed to represent each line-up. For example: you may be a solo act (profile 1) and be the representative for a multiple act (profile 2) and a double act / duo (profile 3).

  • Ensure your bio and other info has been proof-read and invites audience interest

Contact us if you would like to use the recommended services of a professional photographer or an experienced artist representative to assist in your profile presentation.


Venues and Artists

If you are adding events, let the venue know that you are promoting the event via Entertainment Cairns. If you play at venues who don't have a free or platinum venue package with Entertainment Cairns, please encourage them to do so.
Note: Venues have the overriding right to edit events and / or not allow artists to add events at their venue, so it is in your interests to communicate well with venue managers when adding events.

Please contact support@entertainmentcairns.com if you have questions, problems or feedback.

Remember, we are music / event industry people and committed to continually improving this site for the benefit of artists, venues and the industry. Give us feedback and spread the word to help promote the site, the live performance venues and your gigs!

Thank You

“I use Entertainment Cairns to advertise my gigs and it is the only site where locals and visitors alike can find out everything that is happening in the entertainment scene across the Cairns region. It has all the information one requires about an artist, act or venue and it is very easy to navigate. Thanks to Entertainment Cairns, I receive more emails for bookings to perform at different functions and events than through my own web site.”

“Entertainment Cairns offers 24-carat value. I've lost track of just how many engagements my bands have procured via Entertainment Cairns’ ultra-reliable message service, both in the public and corporate sector. As a gig guide, EC is in a class of its own … without a question the definitive guide to what's on in Cairns and environs every week. It's been invaluable in helping the local entertainment scene flourish after many lean years.
