 * yes, however you need custom php coding and/or css styling to do this; e.g. Events
   > Settings > Formatting > Events

 * depends entirely on your coding experience 🙂
 * php is probably needed here… you may be able to get this working with shortcode
   but not 100% sure.
 * this add-on someone sent me recently may help, it can show a list of events located
   in your area, which uses MaxMind to find your location based on IP address. we
   haven’t tested it out ourselves so can’t help you if it doesn’t work.

 * Can you be more specific about ‘look like this’ ?
 * I guess it is not so much about the look than the features this site has.
    If
   I guess well, what are the features you find appealing for your own site ?
 * Thanks

 * I basically want a county specific events directory so users can manage events
   or gigs they are associated with, be able to search by date/town/band but be 
   set out similar to link posted. I would have two/three “categories” venue/band/
   event or such like.
    a “what’s on” event website

 * If it’s just based on regions/cities then you could use the region/state/town/
   postcode search attributes, which you can apply to any shortcodes with EM: [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/)

 * [@mrppp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrppp/),
 * Thanks for clarifying.
 * I think this plugin already have a lot of features you would need to set up a
   site like the one you are showing.
 * However, though events-manager can associate an event with a venue (called location)
   it cannot associate it with another dimension (band in your case)
    This could
   be a challenging idea for the future (if Marcus gets bored during long winter
   nights 🙂 )
 * As you say you can create a category per band and it could do the trick.
 * If you don’t mind a piece of advice: you should go online rapidly with events-
   manager (or similar) to see if you can get enough events to make the effort worthwhile

    “If you don’t

 * Do you think the demand will not be there?
    what do others use events-manager
   for?

 * By the examples you are quoting, I have the impression you want to build a events
   site relying on visitors’s contribution.
 * My experience is that it very difficult to get people to submit events unless
   you already have a strong community you can count on.
 * So, if you are starting a community from scratch, you will have to advocate to
   explain why people should submit events on your site: this is what you want to
   do as soon as possible.
 * If you already have the users, you want to get some feedback from them as soon
   as possible
 * Good luck anyway

 * if you can SEO your site to get decent traffic and rankings, then that’d be the
   incentive for event promoters to post their events on your site 😉

 * Because it would be a county specific, I would have no problem with my SEO getting
   it to position 1-4 in searches.
    The two examples given appear to find users;-))
