Venu lands in Barcelona and Madrid first

Why we are starting with two cities, what the first weeks look like, and how your waitlist email decides where we go next.

A live map is only useful when it's full. One empty city feels broken, so instead of opening everywhere at once we're starting with two: Barcelona and Madrid.

Why these two

Both cities live outside. Terraces, run clubs, night markets and club nights fill the week, and a lot of it is organised by small hosts who never make it onto a ticketing site. That's exactly what Venu is for.

The first weeks

  • Venues claim their free pin and post what's on
  • Founding Hosts get Creator Pro free for 12 months
  • Everyone who joins gets a permanent Founding Member badge

Where we go next

Lisbon, Berlin and Amsterdam are next on the list, but the order isn't fixed. When you join the waitlist, the city you type counts as a vote. The cities with the most votes get Venu first.
