3) Invite the band & confirm lineup

Keep updates inside Bandboss — members can see changes and confirm plans without long message threads.

4) Build promo assets

• Square and 16:9 artwork
• Short teaser clip
• Links to music/video

5) Share one link everywhere

Create a public event page and manually share the link across socials and DMs. One link = less confusion.
