How to Find Electronic Music Events, DJs, and Clubs on RA (ra.co)

Updated

RA (Resident Advisor) at ra.co is a global guide to clubs, DJs, tickets, and electronic music culture. You can find events by browsing by city or date, look up DJ and artist pages, and open an event page to get venue and ticketing details. The site is in English and covers cities worldwide, so the main requirement is knowing which city or artist you're interested in.

Browsing events and clubs by location

RA organizes its listings around cities, which is the most reliable way to find what's happening near you or in a city you plan to visit.

  • Start from the city view. RA's event listings are grouped by location, so selecting a city narrows results to that area's clubs and parties.
  • Filter by date. Listings show upcoming events, letting you scan a specific night or a range of dates rather than scrolling through everything.
  • Open an event to see the venue. Each event page names the club or venue, which is how you discover clubs you didn't already know about.

If you're planning a trip, browsing the destination city's listings before you arrive is the practical way to see which clubs are active and what's on during your dates.

Looking up DJs and artists

Artist pages are the second main entry point. From a DJ or artist page you can see their profile and the events they're attached to, which helps you:

  • Confirm who is playing at a specific event.
  • Find upcoming dates for an artist you want to see.
  • Discover related artists and lineups while browsing.

A useful workflow is to start from an event lineup, open the artists you don't recognize, and then check whether they have other upcoming shows.

Getting venue and ticket information from event pages

The event page is where the practical details live. When you open an event, expect to find the venue, the lineup, and ticketing information. RA also operates a Pro tier with a "Submit event" entry point at ra.co/pro/event/create, which is aimed at promoters listing their own events rather than at attendees.

What you want Where to look on RA
Events in a specific city City-based event listings
A particular DJ or artist Artist/DJ pages
Venue for a specific night The individual event page
Ticket details The event page's ticketing section
List your own event ra.co/pro (Pro, event submission)

Practical tips and common sticking points

  • Pick the city first, then the date. Trying to search broadly across all locations produces noisy results; narrowing by city makes listings manageable.
  • Event pages are the source of truth for logistics. Venue and ticket details belong to the specific event, so don't rely on an artist page alone when planning a night out.
  • Promoter tools are separate from browsing. The Pro event-submission path is for people listing events; attendees don't need it.
  • Language and coverage. RA's interface is in English, and coverage varies by city—some locations have far denser listings than others, so a thin result for one city doesn't mean the site lacks that city entirely.

For a first visit, the fastest path is: choose your city, scan upcoming events by date, open the event that interests you for venue and ticket info, then click through the lineup to artist pages to explore further.
