Every act here passed three checks:

  1. It climbs at least 5 places with a town venue's fans, and at least 5 more than with a venue abroad of similar Qloo popularity.
  2. Its popularity is inside the tier's range.
  3. It shares two genres with the headliners.

Fans of any busy venue lift some acts; a venue abroad with similar Qloo popularity shows how much of the climb is this town's.

Of the acts that pass all three, the strongest Qloo match takes each slot.

The AI's local pick, for you to check

The AI agent named these acts from what it knows of Austin's music, then found them on Qloo. Qloo's venue numbers and the rule didn't pick them, and they take no slot.

  • Spoon

    Popularity 99 on Qloo, above both tiers: headliner-sized, not for this bill · shares Alternative Rock and Indie Rock with the headliners

    The AI's reason: Austin indie-rock mainstay, though possibly above the mid tier.

  • Quiet Company

    Popularity 92 on Qloo, above both tiers: headliner-sized, not for this bill · shares Rock and Indie Rock with the headliners

    The AI's reason: Austin indie band that fits the opening tier.

Drafted from 22 Qloo calls the AI agent planned · saved Oct 28, 20:36 UTC

Across 29 towns, the model alone picked 290 acts; Qloo found 268 of them. Of those 268, 204 sit above the fee range, and 235 share two genres with the headliners.
