# Music Website Templates

> Music website templates for record labels, festivals, podcasts and theatres, with audio players that keep playing between pages, line-ups and listings.

Canonical: https://gsapvault.com/templates/category/music-entertainment

Complete multi-page sites for record labels, festivals, podcasts and venues, where sound and dates are the content. Two of them keep audio playing while visitors move between pages, and every listing has real filters.

## Sites that let people hear it and find the date

Music sites usually fail in one of two ways: an embedded player that stops the moment someone clicks through to another page, or listings that are a wall of text. These templates fix both. The festival and podcast templates keep their player outside the part of the page that changes, so a preview carries on across navigation, and the label, festival and theatre listings can all be filtered.

The record label template is seven pages that open on a drifting field of sleeves and night photographs you can drag, throw and pull a record from. Every release owns one flat colour, worn by its sleeve, its poster card and its whole page, and one data list drives a page for every release and artist. The releases page has a crate of spines to flick through, release pages have clip previews you drag to scrub, and the live page is a wall of flyers you drag aside.

The music festival template is six pages in a black-and-white poster style, with a lineup player that keeps playing between pages, a tide page transition, timetable picks saved in the browser with clash warnings, a wristband ticket chooser and an illustrated site map. The podcast template is five pages for podcasts, radio shows and DJ mix series, with a player strip that keeps playing as visitors browse, a drag-to-scrub waveform with chapter markers, and a transcript that follows the paragraph being spoken.

The theatre and event venue template is six pages for theatres, cinemas, concert halls and arts centres, built schedule first. A date strip and filters for genre, space and access performances, including captioned, BSL, audio described and relaxed, re-sort every performance in place. Production titles are set huge across their photographs like posters, and a seat plan and a room finder for hire round it out.

## How to load your releases, line-up or episodes

Catalogues, line-ups and schedules are data, so most of the work is a list you fill in once and the pages build themselves from it.

1. **Fill in the data list:** The record label builds every release and artist page from one data file, and the theatre and festival schedules are plain data too. Enter your real catalogue or programme before changing the design.
2. **Swap in your own audio:** The festival previews are synthesised so the template ships licence-free; one field per act points at a real file instead. The podcast player drives everything from one audio element.
3. **Use deep links for listings:** Filtered views have their own addresses, such as a schedule already filtered to film or to BSL performances. Use those links in newsletters and social posts.
4. **Point ticket and buy buttons outward:** Ticket choosers and buy bars are front ends that work out a total but sell nothing. Link them to your ticketing partner or record shop.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I use my own music and audio?

Yes. The festival lineup player ships previews synthesised in the browser so the template carries no music licence, and one field per act swaps in a real audio file. The podcast template plays your episodes through one audio element, and the podcast and record label templates fall back to native audio controls without JavaScript. You need the rights to any audio you add.

### Does the audio keep playing when visitors change page?

In the festival and podcast templates, yes: the player sits outside the swapped part of the page, so previews and episodes continue across navigation. The record label plays its clip previews on each release page.

### Can I sell tickets or records through these templates?

No. The wristband chooser and buy bars work out totals but order nothing. Point the buttons at your ticketing partner, such as Skiddle, DICE, See Tickets or Eventbrite, or at your record shop or Bandcamp page.

### Will these suit a band, DJ or radio show?

Yes. The podcast template suits radio shows, DJ mix series and interview programmes. The record label template works for a band or artist with a catalogue, using the release and live pages and a single artist page. The theatre template suits cinemas, concert halls and any venue that sells dated performances.
