Why FOSH Exists - For Fans

Live events are at the heart of Philadelphia’s culture, but they’re often hard to find. Flyers are scattered across social media, venue calendars are inconsistent, and most discovery platforms are list-based or incomplete.

FOSH solves this by building the most complete, structured event dataset in Philadelphia and making it available in real time.

Why FOSH Exists - For Talent

Philadelphia has an enormous amount of talent, but visibility is inconsistent. Shows get announced through scattered posts, last-minute flyers, and algorithms that don’t always reach the right people. Smaller acts, emerging performers, and DIY spaces often go unseen unless someone already knows where to look.

FOSH creates a single place where your shows can be discovered reliably and in real time. By structuring event information across the entire city—-major venues and small rooms alike-—FOSH helps artists connect with audiences who are actively looking to go out tonight, not endlessly scrolling for it.

Why FOSH Exists - For Venues

Venues put in the work to host events, but the information doesn’t always reach the people who want to attend. Many spaces rely on social posts that disappear quickly, or calendars that only a fraction of the city checks regularly. As a result, great shows often happen with far less visibility than they deserve.

FOSH provides a clear, consistent way for your events to be found. By gathering and structuring Philadelphia’s event data in one place, FOSH helps venues surface everything happening in their space—weeklies, one-offs, special nights, and last-minute additions—right when attendees are deciding where to go.
