BANDANA's free open mic sign-up form is a recurring online form that collects performer sign-ups in advance. Hosts set the night, description, schedule and spot limit once; BANDANA creates every upcoming date with its own sign-up link and QR code, caps spots, and can lock sign-ups until a set time before the show. Save it to BANDANA to run the list live from your phone on the night.
How do you run an open mic sign-up?
Decide how many spots you have and how long each performer gets, then give people one place to sign up. A recurring online form beats a clipboard: performers grab a spot from their phones before they leave the house, and you walk in already knowing who's playing.
- Name your night and pick the day, start time and how often it repeats
- Set a spot limit so the form closes once the night is full
- Share one link or QR code on your socials, posters and the bar
- Keep a printed backup list for walk-ins
How many performers fit in an open mic night?
Most open mics give each act 2–3 songs or 10–15 minutes, which fits 10 to 15 performers in a 2 to 3 hour night. Set your spot limit to match, and leave a few spots open for walk-ins if your crowd tends to show up on the night.
Open mic, open jam or hybrid — which do you run?
In BANDANA, an Open Mic has numbered spots in order with no song requests. An Open Jam has no set order and a shared songbook so players pick songs together. A Hybrid keeps numbered spots and lets performers submit the songs they'll play. Pick the one that matches your room — you can change it later.
