Welcome to Sway Docs

Learn how to discover, create and manage events like raves and festivals, artists, venues and promoters, on the Sway web and mobile apps.

What is Sway?

Sway is dedicated to the electronic music scene: a mobile app to go out with, and a web app to organise with. Together they let you:

  • 🔍 Discover upcoming raves, festivals and concerts near you
  • 🎵 Follow your favourite artists, promoters and venues
  • 🗓️ Save events to your personal calendar
  • Create and manage your own events, artists, venues & promoter pages
  • 🎟️ Buy tickets and manage your orders directly in the app

Two apps, two jobs

Sway is a mobile app for going out, and a web app for organising. Most of this documentation is split along that line, so start by knowing which one you are in.

Web app — organise

Set up your pages, sell tickets, get paid. Everything an organizer does lives here, including the guided setup.

Mobile app — go out

Discover events, follow artists, buy tickets. You can also create and edit your pages from your phone.
Both apps can create a promoter, artist, venue or event page. Selling tickets and being paid for them is web only — payouts are connected there and nowhere else. Full comparison on the Web app page.
